Signs your Waffle Maker or
Waffle Iron Needs Replacing

Can’t remember the last time you took out your waffle maker or waffle iron and made your favorite waffle recipes for breakfast or brunch?

If it was some time ago, start thinking back for reasons why you haven’t made them in a while. Chances are it was your waffle maker that may have been to blame and not your recipe. Older does not always equal better.

If you are having trouble getting your breakfast recipes to turn out good, it may be time to replace your waffle maker or waffle iron. 

Look for these signs that your iron needs replacing.

Let's start with checking out the condition of your waffle maker.

  • If it doesn’t work at all or has a frayed electrical cord throw it out.

  • If it is rusty or crusty, you may be embarrassed to take it out of the cupboard. While a good cleaning may salvage the appliance, you may consider purchasing a new one. Clean according to the manufacturers instructions.

  • If the outside of the maker has rusty spots on it, you may use a rust removal cleaner, but you may scratch up the surface. It may be best to leave well enough alone as it will not affect how your waffles turn out.

  • Not enough capacity. Single waffle makers are fine if there are 2-3 people eating. For larger groups, consider an iron that can make 4 at a time.

  • Are your waffles sticking and do not release well from the iron? If greasing with butter or oil is giving you inconsistent results, consider purchasing one of the irons that have non-stick surfaces. Almost all new waffle makers have non-stick surfaces that will last many years.
