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 cooked-on food particles.
• 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.
Cleaning Your Waffle Baker
1. Unplug from outlet and let cool.
2. Wipe cooking grids and outside of
unit with a damp, soapy cloth. Rinse
cloth and wipe grids again.
3. Do not use steel wool, scouring pads,
or abrasive cleansers on any part of
the unit. Never use sharp or pointed
objects for cleaning purposes.
4. Always allow the appliance to cool
down com-
pletely before
storing. The
unit can be
stored upright
to save space.
DO NOT IMMERSE IN WATER OR OTHER
LIQUID.
