Salton 3-in-1 Waffle Maker Failure

<< < (3/4) > >>

coppercone2:
cast iron, you just need to brush it with a angle grinder and season it (takes about 3 minutes of time every 45 min for a few hours).
its basically NRE.

That is a very sad story about dirty cheap manufacturing materials. I have seen a few examples here and there, and several were plagued by the sheer inadequacy of the plastics or circuitry used.

One additional thing I started to be concerned after having kids was the release of materials into the food - something that is quite difficult to find information, especially in cheaper brands.

Does the plastic have any identifying marks on it?

I believe it could be a side-effect of making things "biodegradable", perhaps the factory accidentally specified that instead of regular plastic |O

I suspect the markings wouldn't be correct anyway.

Hi guys,
After your suggestions I looked for some marking on the plastic... there was NONE! I couldn't figure out what this stuff was made of, so I made this video below to show you how easily it breaks in case nobody believed me. Check this out.... I'm not that strong, I've never been able to destroy molded plastic like this before!!!!! :
