WAFFLE STICK MAKER HINTS AND SUGGESTIONS
•
Use caution not to overfill the cooking reservoirs.
•
Close the waffle stick maker lid immediately after removing the waffle sticks to maintain
the proper cooking temperature for additional waffle sticks.
•
Baked waffle sticks will accumulate steam between them and lose their crispness if
stacked or cooled on a solid surface. For best results, move waffle sticks to a wire
cooling rack and do not stack.
•
Finished waffle sticks may be kept warm by placing them directly on the rack in a 200°F
oven for up to 15 minutes.
•
Waffle sticks may also be warmed or reheated by placing them into the preheated waffle
stick maker for 1 to 2 minutes.
•
Baked waffle sticks freeze well. Cool completely on wire rack. Store in plastic freezer
bag or in covered container, separating waffles with wax paper. Reheat frozen waffle
sticks until hot and crisp.
•
Refrigerated batter may need some water or milk added to the mixture, as cold batter
can thicken. Cold batter may also require a longer cooking time to reach the desired
doneness. For best results, it is recommended to use room temperature batter.
•
When preparing the batter, do not over-mix it or the waffle sticks will become tough and
heavy. A few lumps in the batter are OK.
•
If batter sticks to nonstick cooking surface, lightly coat the surface with butter or margarine.
•
For some added fun, try coating waffle sticks in melted chocolate or white chocolate
and then dipping them in sprinkles or topping with candy or nuts.
