1.
Be sure not to overfill the Donut Mold Plate, as this may cause batter to spill into neighboring molds
or onto the heating plate once the batter expands while cooking. We recommend adding batter
until each mold is ¾ full.
2.
Cooking spray, oil, and butter are not necessary to prevent sticking in the molds, but using them
may help the donuts release more easily.
3.
Plugging in the Donut Maker to preheat for a few minutes before adding batter will speed up the
preparation process by eliminating the waiting time.
4.
Be sure to follow the cleaning guidelines, outlined in “Cleaning & Maintenance,” to avoid scratching
or damaging the non-stick coating.
5.
When filling back cavities with batter, ensure the Cover Lid is fully open and exercise caution to
avoid burning fingertips.
6.
An amount of time as small as 30 seconds can make a big difference in whether donuts are cooked
to satisfaction or overcooked, so be sure to keep a timer handy. We recommend baking for 1 ½
minutes on one side, then flipping and baking for another 4 minutes on the other side.
7.
Use a toothpick to flip the donuts to avoid putting fingertips at risk near the hot Donut Mold Plate.
8.
To add batter to molds, scoop batter into 1-gallon freezer size plastic bag and seal partway.
Snip off ” from corner of the bag and, with the open corner facing the Donut Maker, squeeze bag
until each mold is ¾ full. Fold the bag between rounds of baking to avoid leakage or dripping.
9.
The hottest part of the Donut Mold Plate is directly in the center, so fill the center mold with batter
last to reduce the risk of overcooking it.
10.
Get creative when frosting! Use a spoon to drizzle glaze or toppings for detailed frosting projects.
11.
Try making the donuts ahead of time! They’ll stay fresh in a sealed bag for up to two days.
