Usage Tips
• To make your family a quick, hot breakfast, use any of the waffle
mixes currently available on the market.
• Save additional time in the morning by preparing waffle batter the
night before and refrigerating it. Make sure waffle batter reaches
room temperature before use. Using fresh batter results in fluffier
waffles.
• 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.
• If using nuts in waffle batter, use chopped nuts and/or evenly
spread batter to allow lid to fully close.
• Waffles can be made ahead of time and kept warm in a 200ºF
(93ºC) oven.
• Most waffles are done in about 5 minutes, depending on the setting
selected. 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 maker doesn’t lift up easily, then let the waffle
cook a minute more before checking again. Another indicator that
the waffle is done is when the green READY lights come on or
when the steaming stops.
• To store, let waffles cool and pack in an airtight container; store in
refrigerator or freezer for reheating later.
• Reheat in a microwave oven, a toaster oven, or a regular oven.
