I finally finished the milling of the retention slots on the second waffle plate, and bolted some very simple tabs on both so that the spring-loaded latches could hold them in place.

I finally finished the milling of the retention slots on the second waffle plate, and bolted some very simple tabs on both so that the spring-loaded latches could hold them in place. I then did a smoke test, which did smoke a good amount since I hadn't properly cleaned the plates, but the waffle iron survived and did manage to get up to cooking temp after 11 minutes. The back of it was 130 C in places, which was a bit alarming, but I didn't see any discoloration after. It's a cheap iron and might just get that hot normally. I'm still not super happy with either plate, but I'm going to go ahead and try making waffles with them soon.

You'll have a future making custom waffles plates

Well, that didn't turn out great. I think the waffle iron cooked itself -- the lights went out and haven't turned back on even after cooling down. So it's not fully cooked, and I can't really evaluate if it will release properly. And I now realize I forgot to cut the inside of the plate surface down by a few mm on either side, to leave room for all the connecting bits of the waffle. I'll have to wait to see if the iron is truly dead before deciding how to proceed.

more grease on the plates

Now you need a platoon of well trained hens to get rid of all those crumbs.
