Tips for Making Waffles and
Waffle Stix
How to Use
• Thickness of waffle batters may vary. Adjust amount of
batter as needed.
• 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.
Waffles can be made ahead of time and kept warm in a
200ºF (93ºC) oven. Or let them cool and pack in an airtight
container; store in refrigerator or freezer. They can be
reheated in a microwave oven, a toaster oven, or regular
oven.
• For soft, tender waffles, cook for about 5 to 6 minutes.
• For crisp, breakable waffles, cook for about

2 to 7 minutes.
Most waffles are done in about 6 minutes. Some of the recipes
which are made from scratch may take a little longer. Check
for doneness at about 6 minutes. If the cover of the waffle
maker doesn’t lift up easily, then let it cook a minute more
before checking again. Another indicator that the waffle is
done is when the steaming stops.
