How to Clean Built-Up Oil on a Waffle Maker
- 1). Unplug the waffle maker and allow it to cool for two hours. Never try to clean the waffle maker when it is still hot.
- 2). Wipe the baking plates with a paper towel to absorb any puddles of oil and to brush away crumbs.
- 3). Use a rubber spatula to pry up any dried up oil spots. Do not use a sharp knife or any other sharp utensil.
- 4). Dampen a cloth with water and scrub the baking plates to remove any remaining built-up oil. Do not use soap or abrasive cleaners, which will remove the non-stick surface from the waffle maker.
