can I use the NordicWare waffle iron on my charcoal grill?

Sure you can. Heat is heat whether on a stove or grill or candle for that matter. To cook good waffles on this thing your temp needs to be medium high as they say on the fancy cooking shows. Just play with it a few times. You'll get it. This waffle iron is a good one. Might get that bbq flavour in the waffles though. Don't know if I'd like that.

You must remember that the handles are made of some sort of plastic they can't get to hot, but I suppose you might be able to use it on a grill if you are careful.

I use it over a direct propane flame (flames don't actually touch the waffle iron), so as long as you're not putting the waffle iron directly on top of coals, like a camp setting, you should be fine I would think. I would definitely have at least a few inches between the waffle iron and the coals.

I would suggest trying it out without the sugar first and seeing what you think of it. The problem is that the more sugar you add the more likely you are to burn the waffles on the iron.

You could but this platter is very small and there are better cast iron grills available

Have been using one of these for 5 years and have never sprayed it once. If you put the oil in the waffle mix you do not need to spray the iron. All the spray does is burn to the iron and cause waffles to stick.

I don't think so, at least not in the ordinary sense. The bottom grill in mine has raised ridges running 'down' to the front to drip out the grease. the upper has ridges as well, except they're kind of a 'herringbone' pattern. if you tried to bake a hotcake on the Foreman, it would look more like a waffle if you had the top down. I guess the answer is, Not unless you can buy one with a flat plate, it is a great meat cooker, but don't know how it'd be as a griddle. rg

Yes. But remember you are not supposed to ever wash waffle irons but merely brush away burnt bits and wipe Teflon area with a dry paper towel.

I don't think you can remove the grills. I have never had to remove them to clean them. I just wipe them out with a papertowel. I am not an experienced cook but it is my understanding that, with this type of cookware, it is best to "season" it by just wiping it out rather than using soap and water. But I do use cooking spray with each waffle so the batter does not stick to the grills.

Yes they are, not sure about PFOA usage in the waffle maker. I dislike non-stick cookware and stay away from it, this is the only non-stick cooking surface I known. There are cast iron and cast aluminum waffle pans you could try. If your batter is traditional, made with a lot of butter, I would think sticking would not be an issue with these semi-porous pans.

Season the waffle maker by lightly brushing it with vegetable oil or bacon grease placing it back on the burner or grill and letting it cool. If it is brand new season it twice before use and once after. After use clean it with warm water and a stiff brush. Do not use soap! If you season it on a grill or in an oven unscrew the wood handles first. People have been seasoning cast iron with bacon fat for centuries. I usually use olive oil or canola oil. The key is to use it lightly! See the Lodge videos on this subject on You Tube.

Yes, assuming you have the Weber charcoal grill rotisserie, which is a metal ring that you put between the kettle base and the lid and it already comes with a motor. Or, you can make your own metal ring with heavy sheet metal and get the mount for this motor- it's a standard size. Great motor, btw!

Unfortunately this waffle iron is not preseasoned when you get it. Before you use it you must season it yourself. There are several good videos on Youtube on how to do this. Basically it should be seasoned just like any other cast iron cookware. Rinse lightly to remove packing dust. Then dry it thoroughly and lightly brush it with olive oil or bacon fat. Place it in your oven at about 350 degrees for at least one hour. Shut the oven off and let it cool completely before using. Oh yes, very important, unscrew and remove the wooden handles before seasoning the iron. Put them back on after the iron has completely cooled.

You can use any waffle maker mixes you would like, however the recipes in the instruction manual have been tested and come out with the best results.

Not sure. I have a griddler, but not deluxe. The waffle plates make clean up easier, but does not cook evenly or make crispy waffles like my Cuisinart waffle maker.

I haven't made just one, but I don't see why not. (who can only eat one waffle <g>) just pour the batter onto the one side. The setting should be the same. Let us know how it works out for you.

the grills do not come out. never us soap and water. take some paper towling and wipe the grease off. it is just like an old cast iron frypan. the more waffles you make the better the waffles.

I use a very small amount of oil. The iron surface is teflon and may not need it,but I wanted to insure the waffles didn't stick.

JD, that would depend on your recipe. I use whipped egg whites and corn oil in the batter so my waffles are crispier on the outside and safer inside. Work with your ingredients and find the mixture that works best for you. All I can tell you is we use it several times per week and the waffles are restaurant quality. We have 3 different waffle makers and this one is the best we have ever used. Gary
