Chef's Choice 836 manual Baking procedure, Prepare the pizzelle batter and proceed as follows

dispensing the batter. You will find that some of the batter will remain on the spoon and you can either use a small spatula to push it all off or leave some residue on the spoon for the next batch.

The baking procedure

Prepare the pizzelle batter and proceed as follows:

1.Set the color control dial between 3 and 3 ½ and allow the PizzellePro® to heat up as described above. When the red light turns off and the green “Ready” light turns on, open the lid and, using a demitasse spoon, drop a spoon of batter onto the center of each of the three pizzelle patterns. Close the lid immediately to spread the batter across each pattern.

2.Place one spoon of batter quickly on each of the three patterns and promptly close the lid, making certain the locking latch is fully fastened. Avoid putting too much batter on grids, as an excess will cause an overflow and increase the clean up time. If you prefer pizzelles with irregu- lar edges, use less batter; otherwise use more batter to produce full rounder patterned pizzelles with more regular circular edges. You can, if you wish, use scissors to trim the edges of baked pizzelles to create rounder patterned edges.

3.If the color control dial is properly set (between 3 and 3 ½), the red light will come on briefly sometime during the short baking cycle and when it turns off, the green “Ready” light will come on again signaling the baking cycle is complete. The normal baking cycle as indicated by the red/ green light cycle will be about 45 to 60 seconds. You will probably find it convenient to use the lights to pace your baking cycle or, as an alternative, you can of course use an auxiliary timer.

You will need to make only small changes (¼ to ½ division) to the color control dial to affect substantially the color of the pizzelle.

You will find you can use a slightly higher setting, say ½ number higher, and bake pizzelles in

30 to 45 seconds. In that event, it may prove easier to use a timer and disregard the cycle of the red/green lights.

4.You may at times wish to inspect the pizzelle before it is fully baked. Wait 30-40 seconds before attempting to open the lid. If the pizzelle is not cooked sufficiently, you will sense some resis- tance as you attempt to open the lid. If you do sense resistance, let the pizzelle cook another 10 seconds or so and you should be able to easily and safely lift the lid for inspection. If needed, bake a few seconds longer to obtain the color you wish. You can make minor changes to the dial setting in order to bake a little faster or slower on the next bake cycle.

5.When the pizzelles are done, release the latch and open the lid. Lift and remove them with a plastic fork or small plastic spatula in order to minimize scratching of the non-stick surface. After removal of the pizzelles, you can immediately spoon the new batter and repeat the cycle. The PizzellePro® recovers instantly after each bake cycle and is ready to make the next pizzelles.

6.If you do not start the next pizzelles immediately, the PizzellePro® can be closed until you are again ready to bake. The green light will stay on until the plates cool slightly then the red light will light again briefly to keep the plates at the optimum temperature. When the green light comes on again, batter can be added for the next bake cycle.

7.When finished baking, be certain to unplug the PizzellePro®. Only then is the power to the pizzelle maker switched off.

Always unplug the PizzellePro® immediately after use. Never leave it unattended when plugged in. Children should not be allowed to use a pizzelle maker except in the presence of an attentive adult.

8.The PizzellePro®, when unplugged, cools faster when its lid is left fully open. Store only when cold. Save shelf space by storing the PizzellePro® upright resting on its hinged flat end.
