Waffle Baking Tips

2Pour batter onto bottom grid of waffle maker. Ladle just enough batter to fill lower grid so that the peak area of the grid is covered. If necessary, use a spatula to spread the batter in to the corners of the grid. At this point the green light will go off as the baking cycle begins.

3Close waffle maker and rotate unit 180º to the right (clockwise). Do not open for at least 11⁄2 minutes. Opening the lid too soon will cause under-baked waffles to split, making them difficult to remove.

4When the green light goes on again, rotate waffle maker 180º to the left (counterclockwise). Your waffles should be done according to the Waffle Temperature Control setting that you’ve chosen. If you want them darker, close the lid and continue baking until the desired color is achieved.

5Remove waffles from the cooking plate.

6If additional baking is to be done, close waffle maker to retain heat. Always be sure the green light goes on again before making more waffles.

7If you need to take a short break, close waffle maker to maintain heat. When you return to baking, you will notice

that the first waffles will bake faster because extra heat has been allowed to build up.

8Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is being used by or near children.

9When baking is complete, simply unplug the power cord from wall outlet. Leave waffle maker open to cool. Do not clean until unit has cooled.

1Set the Waffle Temperature Control to your desired setting. At first, try a setting in the middle. You may later adjust it lower or higher according to your preference. A lower setting produces a lighter colored waffle, while waffles made at a higher setting are darker and crisper. Different waffle batters will also cook up differently. Over time, you will find your perfect setting for the batter you use.

2When preparing waffle batter, do not over mix or waffles will be tough. Stir batter only until large lumps of dry ingredients disappear.

3The optimal amount of batter to produce a full-shaped waffle, without overflowing, will vary with different waffle batters. Pouring batter from a measuring cup will help you gauge how much batter to use each time. Fill bottom grid of waffle maker with enough batter to cover peak areas of the grid.

4For more evenly shaped waffles, spread thick batters to outer edge of grid, using a heat proof spatula or other utensil before closing lid.

5Cake-based waffles, such as the Chocolate Waffles are more tender than regular waffles, and may require more care when removing from waffle maker. You may want to break these waffles into halves or quarters before removing. Use a spatula to support waffles when removing from the waffle maker.

6To retain crispness, move baked waffles to a wire cooling rack to prevent steam from accumulating underneath.

7When serving several waffles at one time, keep waffles hot and crisp by placing on a rack in a preheated 200°F oven until ready to serve.

8Already cooled waffles can be re-warmed and re-crisped, individually, by returning to hot waffle maker. Set Waffle Temperature Control to low. Place waffle on grid so grooves match up; close lid and heat for 1 to 2 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.

9Baked waffles freeze well. Cool completely on wire rack. Store in plastic freezer bag or in covered container, separating waffles with wax paper. Reheat frozen waffles in toaster oven, oven or toaster until hot and crisp.
