I'm a spray when it's cold waffle maker. Rarely need to repeat-
but obviously the repeat is on a warm iron.

My theory, which might be outdated, crazy, or just plain wrong-- but
has worked for me-- is that the surface of the metal is more porous
when cold.

As I think about it, that might have only applied to cast metals of
some sort-- not to coated ones. The coated ones might all have
their own characteristics. So I'd ask the manufacturer of the
particular iron. [and then use what works for me]
