Newly acquired Krumkake iron

I did try the beeswax after George recommended it, and it worked very well. Then there was a long period of time when I didn't clean or season any iron, and when I started using the electrolysis to clean, I just used Crisco to season. I'm going to try the beeswax on the next piece I do if I ever buy more cast iron.

 

Well, I didn't say I wasn't going to buy any more cast iron. I said 'if' I buy any more cast iron - and that's a big if. So there's no need to involve Peggy in any of this...

 

Haha! Speaking of cast iron on the floor, here's a link to a guy's collection of JUST waffle irons... (I hope the link works)



I'm sure he's got a place to display them properly, though.

 

No, no, not me. You prompted me to put my 'collection' together, though. It's all here, except the dutch oven that's getting properly cleaned & seasoned as we type.



I've got 2 each of the #3's, 5's, and #8, since those usually are stowed in the camping box with the dutch oven. So, no issues here, thank you very much.

 

Jenn, I've never made them, but I'll be trying these soon I'm looking for a Plett pan, that makes Swedish pancakes as well, although they would be the size of a silver dollar. So many ways to prepare and eat eggs, flour, sugar, vanilla...

 

Charlie, I finally added a lye bath, after swearing I'd never do it. I hated the idea of having it around. But I've got it in a covered Rubbermaid bin, and as we have no kids around, I think it's quite safe. You just have to be careful using it (I have a pair of heavy duty gloves and safety glasses on all the time). I let most stuff sit in it for a couple days, which takes off most everything but rust. Then, into the electrolysis for the little bit of crud still around and the rust, and it seems to do a good job. It also keeps the washing soda solution much cleaner.

 

Thanks Charlie - I need to redo one of them using the new technique, I noticed. I thought I'd redone them all...

 

MUCH less.
