Usage Tips
• To make your family a quick, hot breakfast, use any of the waffle
mixes currently available on the market.
• Use a cooking spray before pouring batter into the grids, especially
for dessert waffles or recipes 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.
• Reheat in a microwave oven, a toaster oven, or a regular oven.
• Most waffles are done in about 6–8 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 light comes on or
when the steaming slows or stops.
• To store, let waffles cool and pack in an airtight container; store in
refrigerator or freezer for reheating later.
