There are a few ways to clean a waffle iron without removable plates. The first way is to use a plunger to push the batter out from the iron onto a plate. The second way is to use a vacuum cleaner with the hose attachment to suck out all of the batter and grease from the iron. The third way is to use a baking soda and water mixture on the hot iron. Finally, you can use an oven cleaner with the hose attachment to clean the inside of the oven.
