What is a Lorraine Waffle?

Lorraine waffles are a regional variation of the classic Belgian waffle, known for their compact size and deep, square pockets. They take their name from the Lorraine region, a historic area between France and Germany, where this style of waffle became popular.

The Lorraine waffle is often preferred by cafés and dessert businesses looking for a smaller, more versatile waffle option. Their deep pockets make them ideal for absorbing toppings, while their slightly smaller size (150 x 105 mm) allows for individual portions, snack servings, or gourmet desserts.

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.
