So you’ve just whipped up a delicious batch of waffles with the help of La Española Classic Olive Oil and now? You’ve got some cleaning on your hands. Don’t fret! Waffle irons may seem tricky to clean, but it’s not as complicated as it may seem.
How to Clean a Waffle Iron
- Open the waffle maker and gently brush away any loose crumbs with a dry cloth.
- With a paper towel, dab the surface of the plates to remove any excess olive oil. This is important because the oil will be more difficult to remove if you just use soap and water.
- Remove the plates and wash them with warm water and dish soap, using the soft side of the sponge to avoid scratching the surface.
- Wipe plates with a wet cloth to remove dish soap residue, and dry.

Best Ice Cream Flavors to serve with Waffles
Now this is a matter of personal preference, but there are some classic combos that just can’t be denied. We’ve opted for vanilla because of its mild taste, but there are some people who swear by chocolate. Fruity varieties like strawberry, banana, or mango also work a treat. If what you want is a rich-flavored ice cream to smother your waffles in, consider caramel or dulce de leche. For a subtle-flavored gourmet companion, you could also try pistachio. Its nutty flavor complements the toasted aroma of hot off the iron. Finally, for those looking for a dairy-free ice cream to serve with waffles, lemon sorbet goes nicely.
