Waffles Sticking to Iron
Your waffles stick because the iron was not hot or greased enough. Heat, oil, and patience fix it.

The fix
Tap a step to check it off.
- 1 let the iron preheat fully before adding batter
- 2 brush with a thin layer of oil, not butter
- 3 wait 30 seconds after the steam stops before opening
If it's still wrong
- break into pieces and toast for waffle bits
- serve with syrup and fruit to hide tears
Prevent next time
- use oil for a higher smoke point
- avoid overfilling the iron
Notes
Why this works
Hot surfaces create a crust that releases cleanly. Oil forms a thin barrier that keeps the batter from bonding to the metal.
