I Tried to Make Waffles While Camping (cast iron cooking with an antique waffle maker!)

When it comes to cast iron cooking, making waffles on an antique Griswold cast iron waffle maker is pretty much as cool as it gets! That's exactly what I attempted to do in this video. Camp cooking usually doesn't involve waffles, but I just might change that in this video...

    I also have an antique cast iron waffle maker which I use at home and camping. Love it! I also like Klondike. For even extra fiber I soak old fashioned rolled oats for an hour or so in water, drain then add to batter. I use about 1/2 cup to 2 cups mix. Delicious!

    Love your videos. I went out and bought same waffle iron. Little tip,,, buy a cheap Laser infrared Temperature gun. they are good to have, esp for out door cooking. you want the temp of the iron to be 450. ish. it can be too hot as well. it eliminates the guess work. its a great tool to have. you don't need a expensive one.

    Thank you. Someone may have already said this, but, you may want to flip it over when you put the shortening in and definitely when you put the batter in. I think those were used on a wood Cook stove by taking an eye out and placing the waffle iron over the opening. You were on the right track with the camp fire, Nick messed you up. I enjoyed your video. Thanks

    You just needed to cure the pan a little more before you used it. I had the same issue in mine. Lots of butter will help but make sure you put it in both sides but the cast iron does a great job on waffles. Cast iron is awesome.

    Hello Amanda, I like that waffle maker. I think that if you coat both sides of the waffle maker with a generous amount of cooking oil and a thin batter, that will work out really well. Take Care and Keep Exploring The Outdoors.

    Hi there, thanks for doing all these ideas. I'm new to car camping, and your videos are helpful. I just watched you make waffle batter. It may have been thin because you used liquid measure for both wet and dry measurements. Or dry measure for both..couldn't tell if that was a wet or d Dr y measuring cup. I hope That helped. Again thank you for your hard work and dedication. LW

I'd oil them occasionally but took on the "you put me through hell, now I shall do the same to you." They got no reprieve until yesterday, when I finally was able to whip up a batch of waffley cornbread.
