That waffle iron was a real find. That thing is awesome and love how it works. We have a 30 year old Sunbeam electric waffle iron that has cast iron cooking surfaces. It’s never been replaced and for good reason. It still works great and makes delicious pecan waffles. I’ve looked at new ones occasionally and can’t believe how crappy they’re made. They just don’t make stuff like they used to.. the good old days, right!

Now I'm craving some waffles, boy they looked good!!!

So far, this is my favorite piece in my collection. I'm shopping for another for the NH cabin.

I love watching your video's about the vintage cast iron pans. I have a fairly old 14" fry pan that I have had for years. I learned to season my cast iron from my Grandfather. He was a man who lived close to the land and remembered all the old ways that used to be commomon knowledge to everyone. My pan is one thing that I don't allow anyone but me in my family use or clean. It is the pan that I use for frying all the fish that me and my son's and my daughter catch throughout each summer season. It will hang in it's place on the kitchen wall after a light treatment until ice fishing begins and I haul it down for another go round of fried bluegill or the occasional lucky northern. Thanks JC. Now I'm hungry for fish!

Great video as always JC! I bought a new cast iron skillet today and got a rain check with the 6 quart oven! I was talking with my parents regarding the health benefits of cooking with cast iron and as a kid I recall most meals were cooked with the iron... I had a skillet handed down from my parents that was unfortunately not the one I grew up with. A charitable event in Labrador cooking fish at a local park where many cast iron skillets were used, and the pans were mixed up and I ended up with a lower quality skillet that just never was the same! I am excited to start cooking with my new skillet and cannot wait for the new oven to arrive... thanks to your knowledge and videos expressing the great advantages of cast iron cooking!

It was in remarkably good shape, but in need of a good cleaning. There was just so much caked on grime, critter droppings, and insulation.

Great score on that waffle iron Boss, haven't seen one of those in years, love it. I have many, many pieces of cast iron cookware and use to season them all in the oven with vegetable oil, then about a wear ago a friend turned me on to olive oil. Love that stuff. Frankie reminds me of my little buddy: always waiting for a piece of the food action. While you guys are getting the deep freeze up there we actually had a fantastic weekend in the Carolinas, sunny with temps in the 60s. Good thing too, cause during a resent wind storm about half of a big gum tree came crashing down on the back corner of my cabin. I was able to get the clean up work done and all the new framing finished and covered. Hoping to finish the job and have the new roof metal on by next weekend.

I am like you I love cooking with cast iron I have seen people put them in soapy water to wash them and that alone will cause your food too stick if they are seasoned right a good wiping out is all you need if I do clean them it's with just water then reseasoned I remember my grandma and mother building a fire outside to get the crud off the outside of all their iron cooking pans loved your video always look forward to. Seeing them

Griswold and Wagner some of the best iron cookware around. Loved your seasoning process, a little different than mine but my cookware is well taken care of. Nuthin like a meal out of an iron pan. I have a few pieces of stainless, but iron is tops. Now ya got me lookin for a waffle iron. (Yours is the first one I've ever seen. . .gonna have to look hard at the flea markets) A few of my pieces belonged to my grandmother and she was in her 90s and she's been gone for thirty plus years, kinda tells you iron is good stuff. I do like the fact that you turn your iron upside down when seasoning, we can always learn something. I like the fact that projects make you FEEL GOOD and please tell me you shared some waffle with Frankie. Well Boss off to watch a few more videos and then time to get the garden ready.

Your videos on restoring cast iron (especially this one) has inspired me to hunt for antiques on my free time. I purchased a deep waffle iron last weekend. Markings- Wagner Ware Sidney -O- 1408 Pat'd Feb., 22 1910. It was heavily coated with black stove paint when I purchased it ($45). I gave it to my boyfriend who begin restoration on it 2 days ago. He will be replacing the wood handles on it. I also purchased 4 more cast iron fry pans. One is a Wagner 12 inch deep skillet ($40) with a light season, 2 badly crusted skillets (12" and 4") with the trademark rough texture of Lodge, and a smooth 5 inch (#3) fry pan with heat ring that I took down to bare iron and re-seasoned to a glossy finish with just 3 seasonings. Your tips on seasoning over a stove help me get these done this morning. I love all of your videos and I aspire to live off grid within the next 10 years when I "officialy" retire from my government job. Give my hugs to Frankie... He's so adorable!

Lynda Arca Restoring ironware is addicting. I often use the extra burner on my gas grill for seasoning pans. No worries about the smoke this way.Best of luck with your new hobby.

Great video....I hope you gave Frankie his share. I love cast iron ware....been using it all my adult life.....I bought cast iron ware years ago cheap. Flea markets etc.. Nobody wanted it then........Digger !!!!!!!!!!!!

Everybody wants it now. I gotta stop making videos because everybody bids against me on ebay ha ha.

Note to self...'Always eat before watching any of TheBossOfTheSwamp videos'. I cant tell you how many times I started one of you vids only to have to stop and grab something to munch on. Great info and great food every time buddy.

LOL. The funny thing is, anytime I watch myself throw something into my mouth, my mouth actually starts salivating. It doesn't happen when I watch someone else eat. Talk about mind over matter.

Man Boss that is a sweet piece of cast iron. Those waffles are making me hungry. LOL Great video!

david Wolter A wonderful iron for sure buddy :-))

Dear Boss, great video and very good tutorial. I agree in your method for 100% out of my experience in iron and stell. I learned 35 years ago how to make steal and iron in the biggest Steel Company in Europe/Germany. Go ahead with the oliv oil. The best tasting oil and the healthiest from all. God bless. Your waffels looks amazing good and I'm sure that they taste as good as they looks ;) Don't forget Frankie making waffels ;)
