USING THE CUPCAKE MAKER
1.
Prepare ingredients in advance and fill the 12 reservoirs in the lower cooking plate.
If using paper baking cups, insert 1 baking cup into each reservoir.
NOTE: Do not overfill the reservoirs (or paper baking cups). Each reservoir
will hold about 3 tablespoons of batter.
2.
Insert plug firmly into wall outlet. The red POWER light will illuminate.
3. Close the cover until the locking latch clicks in the closed position.
4. The green READY light will illuminate. This is a good time to check the progress of
the cupcakes, brownie bites, etc. Total baking time for one full batch (12 cupcakes)
will be about 10 minutes.
5. Slowly open the top cover by releasing the locking latch.
CAUTION:
Avoid touching
the cooking surfaces.
SURFACES ARE HOT.
TIP:
Cupcakes are done when a toothpick is inserted into the middle of the
cupcake and comes out clean and dry. BE SURE TO CHECK ALL CUPCAKES
AS DIFFERENT SPOTS IN THE CUPCAKE MAKER MAY HEAT DIFFERENTLY.
CAUTION:
Allow treats with fillings to cool before enjoying, as the fillings will
be very hot.
6. Remove the prepared foods from the cooking plates with a plastic (non-metallic)
and heat-resistant utensil.
7. Add another batch of ingredients, or unplug the power supply cord after cooking and
allow the cupcake maker to cool completely before moving or storing.
TIPS AND DECORATING SUGGESTIONS
BAKING TIPS:
•
Use your favorite recipes and mixes - or try the recipes in this booklet. Regular cake
mixes work perfectly in about 10 minutes.
•
The cupcake maker does not need to be preheated for cupcakes - just spoon the
batter into the reservoirs or paper baking cups and bake. It works just as well to
spoon the batter into the cupcake maker after it has preheated. This makes it easy
to bake several batches in succession without heating up your oven. Always use
caution as the cupcake maker is hot.
•
Most cupcakes baked in the full-size BABYCAKES, will bake in about 10 minutes
per batch. To determine if cupcakes are done, insert a toothpick into the center of
the cupcake; if it comes out clean the cupcakes are done.
•
Cupcakes or muffins are very fragile and hot when just baked. Carefully remove
them from the cupcake maker and place on a wire rack. Use caution as the cupcakes
and any steam are very hot. Allow cupcakes or muffins to stand for about 5 minutes
before serving - even if you wish to serve hot muffins.
•
Use paper baking cups if desired when baking cupcakes and muffins. They make
removing and serving cupcakes and muffins easy. Paper baking cups are required
for brownies or cheesecake as the baked brownies or cheesecakes are so hot and
delicate and must cool before they are firm enough to hold their shape.
