How do you clean a poffertjes plate?

Clean the poffertjes plate after use when necessary.

Use the scraper from the pannenkoekenwinkel webshop.

Instructions:

  • Turn the poffertjes plate off and wait until the plate cooled off a little bit. Cleaning it works best when the plate is still a little warm, but be careful it isn’t too hot or you will burn yourself.
  • Use protective clothing and safety goggles
  • Don’t scrape the plate totally clean, the black coating is an natural non stick coating
  • Just scrape the loose bits and use a vacuum cleaner to clean it up
