Waffle Stix™ Tips
•Most waffle recipes can be poured directly onto the nonstick waffle grids. Use a cooking spray for dessert waf- fles 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 (93ºC) oven. Or let them cool and pack in an airtight container; store in refrigerator or freezer. They can be reheated in a microwave oven, a toaster oven, or regular oven.
•For soft, tender waffles, cook for about 6 minutes.
•For crisp, breakable waffles, cook for about 61⁄2 to 7 minutes.
•Most waffles are done in about 6 minutes. Some of the recipes which are made from scratch may take a little longer. Check for doneness at about 6 minutes. If the cover of the waffle maker doesn’t lift up easily, then let it
cook a minute more before checking again. When the steaming stops is also an indicator that the waffle is done.
•To make Waffle Stix™, break waffles along lines. Care must be taken when breaking waffles into sticks as waffles are hot upon removal from waffle maker. Allow to cool approximately
10 seconds before breaking, but do not wait too long. Waffles tend to lose crispness with time and will become more difficult to break.
•Only reheat whole waffles in toaster. Do not reheat Waffle Stix™ individu- ally. Reheat on lowest toaster setting.
•Care must be taken when breaking waffles into sticks as waffles are hot. Allow to cool approximately 10 sec- onds before breaking.
•Do not break into sticks while waffle is in waffle maker. Remove the waffle prior to breaking. Do not use metal utensils as they will scratch the non- stick surface.
