Waffle Baker Tips
•Most waffle recipes can be poured directly onto the nonstick waffle grids. Use a cooking spray for dessert waffles or any recipe 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
•Waffles can be made ahead of time and kept warm in a 200ºF oven. Or let them cool and pack in an airtight con- tainer; store in refrigerator or freezer. They can be reheated in a microwave oven, a toaster oven, or regular oven.
•Most waffles are done in about 5 minutes. 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 baker doesn’t lift up easily, then let it cook a minute more before checking again. When the steaming stops is also an indi- cator that the waffle is done.
