Andy, I have a Wagner WI seasoned with Cisco. Whenever I use it, I heat it up on the burner first, then give both paddles a spray with Pam before I pour the batter in. I've been using Olive Oil Pam. Makes the BEST waffles, and my WI is getting blacker every time I use it. Now I have a Griswold WI that's been seasoned but have not used yet. I need to start using it with the Pam & really get it seasoned like my other one! (I wanted to have 2 for when all my kids & granddaughters are here for breakfast, want to be able to make more than 1 at a time!) :) Good luck with your waffles tomorrow!
