Petromax rotating waffle iron WF-TX

Petromax rotating waffle iron

Cast iron mould with rotating rack for perfectly baked waffles by the campfire

With the Petromax rotating waffle iron you can conjure up delicious waffles directly over the fire or hot embers in no time at all. Thanks to the good heat conduction of the cast iron, the heart-shaped waffles can also be baked in the residual heat until golden brown and crispy – ideal as a dessert or small snack.

The two cast-iron sides of the waffle iron are firmly connected to each other via a hinge. The lid ensures that the dough remains securely in the mould without dripping. The sturdy frame provides a non-tip and non-slip support, and thanks to a cast iron nose on one side, the waffle iron always remains level.

The waffle iron has been optimised for the Petromax Atago. The frame fits perfectly on the edge and has enough space for the iron to rotate. No lifting required. However, the iron can also be used on any other barbecue or fire pit.

How to make the perfect waffles

The waffle iron consists of a chamber for heart-shaped waffles with a diameter of 16 cm and two long wooden handles. These ensure sufficient distance from the hot embers so that burns are a thing of the past.

Firstly, preheat the waffle iron well and oil the inside a little if necessary. Then pour a small amount of batter into the centre of one half of the waffle iron and seal with the second half. Now place the waffle iron on the rack above the heat source and wait. In between, the waffle iron can be rotated 180° on the holder so that both sides are baked until crispy. The perfect waffle is ready after about 3-5 minutes.

Tip: You can bake delicious thin pancakes or flatbreads with the dragon logo on the top of the waffle iron.

Cleaning and maintenance

It is not necessary to bake the irons, as they are pre-treated accordingly (seasoned finish). The patina develops a little more with each use. This protective layer for the cast iron should always be maintained as it protects the iron from moisture and corrosion and acts like a non-stick coating when cooking.

For easy cleaning, the two halves of the waffle iron can be taken apart and cleaned separately. Only clear warm water and a brush should be used – washing-up liquid would destroy the valuable patina. To maintain the iron, it should be rubbed with a little neutral vegetable oil or Petromax care paste from time to time.

The practical matching transport bag for the wf-tx reversible waffle iron protects the iron during transport and storage. So it is always ready for the next job.
