Usage Tips

•To make your family a quick, hot breakfast, use any of the waffle mixes currently available on the market.

•Use a cooking spray before pouring batter into the grids, especially for dessert waffles or recipes with a lot of sugar.

•If your waffles start to stick, the grids may need to be scrubbed with a nylon brush to remove any cooked-on food particles.

•If using nuts in waffle batter, use chopped nuts and/or evenly spread batter to allow lid to fully close.

•Waffles can be made ahead of time and kept warm in a 200ºF (93ºC) oven.

•Reheat in a microwave oven, a toaster oven, or a regular oven.

•Most waffles are done in about 6–8 minutes, depending on the setting selected. Some of the recipes which are made from scratch may take a little longer. Check for doneness at about 5 minutes.

If the cover of the waffle maker doesn’t lift up easily, then let the waffle cook a minute more before checking again. Another indicator that the waffle is done is when the green READY light comes on or when the steaming slows or stops.

•To store, let waffles cool and pack in an airtight container; store in refrigerator or freezer for reheating later.
