Rotating Waffle Baker Use and Care Guide
Helpful Hints and Tips
◆
Sift all dry ingredients.
◆
Egg yolks should be separated from egg whites before mixing.
◆
Beating egg whites separately, and then folding into the batter,
will create lighter and crispier waffles.
◆
Egg whites should be beaten until they form stiff peaks. Stir
1
⁄
4
of beaten egg whites into batter to lighten it, then gently fold
the rest of the egg whites into the batter (there should be white
streaks in the batter). Do not over-mix batter when adding
egg whites.
◆
It is not necessary to beat egg yolks and milk separately; add to
the combined flour mixture, and use a whisk or hand mixer
to blend.
◆
Do not open the Waffle Baker during the first minute of
baking, or waffles will separate. Completely bake waffles before
removing them from the unit.
◆
When waffles are done, the Lid should lift open easily. Wearing
protective oven mitts use the extended, Folding Handle to gently
lift the Lid. If the Lid pulls, wait another minute and try lifting
it open again.
◆
Waffles can be made ahead of time, then refrigerated or
frozen. When ready to eat, place defrosted waffles in your
Waffle Baker and reheat waffles using the (L) Light Waffle
setting. When serving waffles to several people at once,
a toaster or oven is ideal to reheat.
For Low-Fat, Low-Cholesterol Waffles
◆
All recipes work equally well with skim milk.
◆
Leave out egg yolks altogether. All leavening properties come
from the beaten egg whites.
◆
Use liquid vegetable oils, like canola, corn or sunflower, instead
of butter.
Care and Cleaning
CAUTION:
Do not immerse the Waffle Baker, cord, or plug in water
or any other liquid. Unplug and allow to cool before cleaning. Do not
use steel wool, scouring pads or abrasive cleaners, as this will damage
the finish.
INSIDE CLEANING
THE UNIT SHOULD NOT BE HOT WHEN CLEANING.
Note:
Your Belgian Waffle Baker has non-stick coated Cooking Plates.
Do not use abrasive cleaners, metal cleaning brushes or metal scour-
ing pads. This could damage the non-stick surface.
Although the Cooking Plates are coated with a non-stick coating, some
batter or ingredients may still adhere to the Waffle Baker. To remove,
simply pour a little cooking oil onto the baked-on food. Allow to stand
for 5 to 10 minutes. This should soften the food and make it easy to
remove with absorbent paper towels or a soft cloth. If the preceding
measure fails to remove the food residue, we suggest wiping the
Cooking Plates with a slightly dampened cloth or nylon bristle brush
and a little non-abrasive detergent.
OUTSIDE CLEANING
Wipe with a soft, dry cloth.
STORAGE
Unplug unit and allow to cool. Store in its box or in a clean, dry place.
Never store Waffle Baker while it is hot or still plugged in. Never wrap
cord tightly around the appliance. Do not put any stress on cord
where it enters unit, as this could cause cord to fray and break. The
Waffle Baker’s Folding Handle can be collapsed by pressing down on
the button and folding down.
