Neumarker Thermocook - Large Heart Waffle

Neumarker Thermocook – With Large Heart Waffle Plates for Classic or Filled Waffles

Some waffles just have timeless appeal, and the Large Heart Waffle (Bergisch Waffle) is one of them. Found in cafés, bakeries, and homes across Germany, this traditional waffle is loved for its light, fluffy texture and classic heart-shaped segments. With the Neumarker Thermocook and Large Heart Waffle Plates, you can bring this customer favourite to your business with perfectly shaped waffles every time.

The included cast iron plates produce one large 210 x 210 x 13 mm waffle, made up of five connected hearts. Serve it as one big waffle, or gently pull apart the segments to create five mini heart waffles, perfect for dipping or sharing. Alternatively, the waffle can be folded in half while warm, creating a crispy-on-the-outside, soft-on-the-inside shell ideal for sweet or savoury fillings.

With even heat distribution, adjustable temperature control (0-300°C), and a digital timer, this machine makes it easy to deliver consistently cooked waffles, whether served plain, with toppings, or as a filled waffle pocket.

How to Season and Maintain Cast Iron Plates

To keep your cast iron waffle plates in the best condition and ensure long-lasting performance, follow these steps:

Before First Use

• Lightly coat the plates with vegetable oil or food-safe mineral oil.
• Heat the plates for a few minutes until the oil starts to smoke slightly.
• Let the plates cool, then wipe off any excess oil with a dry cloth.
• Repeat this process two to three times to build up a non-stick layer.

Daily Maintenance After Use

• Wipe down with a damp cloth or soft brush to remove batter residue.
• Avoid soaking in water or using soap, as this can strip the seasoning.
• After cleaning, apply a light layer of oil to prevent rust.

When Waffles Start to Stick – Deep Cleaning and Re-Seasoning

If residue builds up, affecting waffle release and heat distribution:

• Use a cast iron cleaning stone or coarse brush to scrape away any buildup.
• Wipe the plates clean and dry them thoroughly.
• Re-season by applying a thin layer of oil, heating until lightly smoking, then letting them cool.
• Repeat if needed to restore the non-stick surface.
