I have a Cuisinart "Classic Waffle Maker", but I don't really know how to clean it that well. Whenever I make waffle cookies, they always leave marks in the iron that wind up in waffles I make the next day. Any idea how to clean one? (don't say a damp towel, because that's just not cutting it, no matter how much I use one, there are always still marks)
Cleaning a Classic Waffle Iron, pay particular attention to paragraph 4. This may help. Good Luck.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Once you have finished baking, remove plug from electrical outlet. Leave top lid open so grids begin to cool.
Never take your waffle maker apart for cleaning. Simply brush crumbs from grooves, and absorb any excess cooking oil by wiping with a dry cloth or paper towel.
You may clean the grids by wiping with a damp cloth to prevent staining and sticking from batter or oil buildup. Be certain grids have cooled completely before
cleaning.
If batter adheres to plates, simply pour a little cooking oil onto the baked batter and let stand approximately 5 minutes, thus allowing it to soften for easy removal.
To clean exterior, wipe with a soft dry cloth. Never use any abrasive cleanser or harsh pad. NEVER IMMERSE CORD, PLUG OR UNIT IN WATER OR OTHER LIQUID.
