Cleaning waffle iron with cleaning waffle
Yes, that’s right. A cleaning waffles. You only need two ingredients to get your waffle iron really clean with it.
- A few tablespoons of cornstarch and Water
Here’s how it works:
- You combine cornstarch with water in a small bowl to create a thick paste. Exact amounts may vary, but a common ratio is 1:1.
- Your waffle iron should now be preheated to medium heat.
- The cornstarch mixture is then added to the waffle iron, just as you would for a regular waffle.
- The mixture is then cooked until it sets and takes on the texture of a waffle.
- The coarsest dirt should have come off the iron and stick to the waffle. Please do not eat it! The starch waffle belongs in the trash afterwards!
- Polish the waffle iron with a piece of kitchen roll and then the real waffle-cooking action can begin.
