Waffle Baker Tips

• 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 200°F 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.

- Most waffles are done in about 5 minutes. 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 baker doesn't lift up easily, then let it cook a minute more before checking again. When the steaming stops is also an indicator that the waffle is done.

How to Clean

1. Unplug from outlet and let cool.
2. Wipe cooking grids and outside of unit with a damp, soapy cloth. Rinse cloth and wipe grids again.
