Restoring a Vintage Cast Iron Waffle Iron

I finally succumbed to the urge, and made my second eBay purchase this year: a vintage cast iron waffle iron, from Stover Manufacturing of Freeport, Illinois. This waffle iron was in very good condition, considering it was about 100 years old. Even so, cleaning up this piece and getting it ready for cooking was an adventure. This meant it was time to build a new electrolysis tank, and clean this piece up. If you think cleaning a typical cast iron skillet is tough, wait until you try cleaning one of these. Getting the rust out of all these crevices was a real pain. But, the end result was definitely worth it: we can use this vintage cast iron waffle maker, and make some waffles.
