TIPS TO mAKE
PERFECT WAFFLES
We recommend setting #3 or #4 for golden
brown waffles, either from mix or homemade.
If you prefer crisper, darker waffles, increase the
browning control.
For evenly filled waffles, pour the batter onto the
center of the lower grid and spread out evenly to
the edges. The entire lower grid should be filled.
We recommend using 2 cups batter per batch
for most recipes.
Waffles are best when made to order, but
prebaked waffles may be kept warm in a 200°F
oven. Place in a baking pan or wrap in foil while
in the oven. Waffles wrapped in foil may lose
their crispiness.
Baked waffles may be frozen. Allow to cool
completely; then place in plastic food storage
bag. Use waxed paper to keep waffles
separated. Reheat in toaster or toaster oven
when ready to use.
