Frequently Asked Questions - WAF-RP10 CUISINART

How do I insert the waffle plates?

Place the closed unit horizontally. Unlock and lift the lid. Insert the desired plate by tilting the back end and lining up the pegs with the holes in the housing, then push down the front until it snaps into place.

How do I remove the waffle plates for cleaning?

Ensure the unit is unplugged and cooled. Press the plate-release buttons on the right side of the waffle maker. The plate will pop up slightly; grasp it and slide it out. Repeat for the second plate.

What do the indicator lights mean?

The red light turns on when the unit is powered. The green light turns on and an audible tone sounds when the waffle maker is preheated and ready to cook, and again when the waffle is done.

What are the temperature settings for?

Settings range from 1 (lightest) to 5 (darkest). For golden brown waffles, we recommend setting 4 or 5. Experiment to find your preferred browning level.

Can I put the waffle plates in the dishwasher?

Yes, the removable plates are dishwasher safe. Do not use metallic utensils or scouring pads on the nonstick coating.

How do I clean the exterior of the waffle maker?

Wipe the brushed stainless steel housing with a soft, dry cloth. Never use abrasive cleansers or immerse the cord, plug, or unit in water.

What is the batter cup for?

The batter cup ensures you pour the correct amount of batter. For Classic waffles, fill to the line on the side. For Belgian waffles, fill to the top.

How do I make evenly filled waffles?

Pour batter onto the center of the lower grid and spread it to the edges with a heatproof spatula. The entire grid should be filled for even waffles.

Can I store the waffle maker upright?

Yes. Wrap the cord around the base, lock the lid, and stand the unit upright on its bottom base for compact storage.

What is the warranty on the Cuisinart WAF-RP10?

It comes with a 3-year limited warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship under normal home use. Proof of purchase is required. For service, contact Cuisinart at 1-800-726-0190.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using an electrical appliance, basic safety precautions should always be taken, including the following:

1. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles and dials.
3. To protect against fire, electric shock, and injury to persons, DO NOT IMMERSE CORD, PLUG, OR UNIT in water or other liquids.
4. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
5. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning appliance.
6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Return appliance to the nearest Cuisinart Authorized Service Facility for examination, repair, or adjustment.
7. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by Cuisinart may result in fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.
8. Do not use outdoors.
9. Do not let power cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
10. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
11. Do not use appliance for other than intended use.
12. Always unplug the unit when finished baking waffles.
13. To safely disconnect power at any time, remove the plug from the outlet.
14. Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot oil or other hot liquids.
15. WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, REPAIR SHOULD BE DONE ONLY

BY AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL. NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS ARE INSIDE.

1. Do not operate your appliance in an appliance garage or under a wall cabinet. When storing in an appliance garage, always unplug the unit from the electrical outlet.
   Not doing so could create a risk of fire, especially if the appliance touches the walls of the garage or the door touches the unit as it closes.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

Extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their use.

If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance, and the longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or animals, or tripped over.

NOTICE

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify the plug in any way.

When the waffle maker has reached selected temperature, the green indicator light will turn on and the audible tone will sound. You are now ready to begin.

CLEANING, CARE, AND MAINTENANCE

When you are finished cooking, unplug the power cord from the wall outlet. Allow the unit to cool down completely before handling.

Press the plate-release buttons to remove plates from the housing. Be sure that the plates have cooled completely before handling (at least 30 minutes). The plates can be washed in the dishwasher. Do not use metallic objects such as knives or forks on the waffle plates. Do not use a scouring pad for cleaning. The nonstick coating can be damaged.

To clean the exterior, wipe with a soft, dry cloth. Never use an abrasive cleanser or harsh pad.

NEVER IMMERSE CORD, PLUG, OR UNIT IN WATER OR OTHER LIQUIDS.

Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service representative.

STORAGE

Store with cord wrapped securely around the bottom of the waffle maker. For compact storage, stand the waffle maker upright in the locked position on its bottom base.

TIPS TO MAKE PERFECT WAFFLES

• Our buttermilk waffles are a blank canvas to work in your favorite flavors. Kids will love a spin on a "birthday cake" by adding rainbow sprinkles. Dehydrated or fresh fruit is nice for a healthier mix-in item. For the chocolate lovers out there, chopped chocolate or miniature chocolate chips add a delicious note to just about any sweet waffle base. For all mix-ins we recommend using about 12 cup and suggest to first toss in a little flour before folding into the prepared waffle batter.
• Setting #1 will produce the lightest waffles. Setting #5 will produce the darkest waffles. Experiment to determine which setting produces the best waffle color for you. We recommend setting #4 or #5 for golden brown waffles.
• We suggest using the provided batter cup when measuring and pouring batter into the waffle maker.

- For Classic waffle: fill batter up to the line on the side of the cup

- For Belgium waffle: fill batter up to the top.

• For a fun variation, use waffles as the "bread" for your panini (we recommend a plain variety, such as our Light-as-Air Buttermilk Waffles, page 8). Place one cooked waffle back in the preheated waffle maker and top with any sandwich ingredients. Top with another cooked waffle and close waffle maker to press your sandwich until heated through.
• For evenly filled waffles, pour the batter onto the center of the lower grid and spread it out evenly to the edges with a heatproof spatula. The entire lower grid should be filled.
• Waffles are best when made to order, but baked waffles may be kept warm in a 200°F oven. Place them on a baking pan, or on an oven-safe rack set in the

baking pan, and be sure not to stack or overlap the waffles. Stacking or covering will create condensation and cause the waffles to get soggy.

* Any leftover waffles can be wrapped and frozen for future use. To freeze waffles: Allow them to cool completely. Use waxed paper to keep them separate and place them in a plastic food storage bag. To reheat frozen waffles: Use a toaster or toaster oven.

Overnight Rye Blueberry Waffles

Rye flour adds unexpected complexity to these yeasted waffles.

Makes about 8 classic-style waffles or 4 Belgian-style waffles

8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, cubed

1^1/2 cups whole milk, cold

1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour

1 cup dark rye flour*

1½ teaspoons instant yeast

2 tablespoons dark brown sugar

^3/_4 teaspoon kosher salt

14 teaspoon ground cardamom (optional)

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

14 teaspoon baking soda

1½ cups blueberries, washed and picked over to remove stems, plus more for serving (optional)

Maple syrup, for serving

1. Melt the butter in a small saucepan set over medium-low heat. When the butter is fully

melted, whisk in the cold milk. Let mixture cool slightly until just warm.

1. Whisk the dry ingredients together in a large bowl. Gradually add the warm milk-butter mixture, and whisk until smooth. Add the eggs and vanilla, and whisk until mostly smooth (some lumps are okay). Let the batter rest at room temperature for 1 hour, then cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 12 hours and up to 24 hours.

2. Secure the desired waffle plates in the waffle maker. Preheat the waffle maker to the desired setting; a higher setting is recommended for crisp waffles. The waffle maker will beep to indicate it is ready to use.

3. Sprinkle the baking soda over the rested batter and gently whisk to combine (the batter will deflate as it rests). Pour the recommended amount of batter, depending on whether Belgian- or classic-style waffles are being prepared, onto the center of the bottom waffle plate. Top with a heaping 14 to 13 cup of blueberries. Close the waffle maker, but do not lock. The waffle is done when the ready-for-use indicator beeps. Carefully open the waffle maker and remove the baked waffle. Repeat with the remaining batter and blueberries.

4. Waffles are best served straight from the waffle maker, with maple syrup and more blueberries, if desired. (If not being consumed immediately, they can be kept warm on a rack in a single layer in a 200^ F oven.)

* Deepen the nutty complexity of rye by toasting the flour in a skillet over medium heat for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring often, until fragrant and darkened in color – an optional step.

Makes 7 classic-style waffles or 5 Belgian-style waffles

^1/3 cup plus 2 teaspoons vegetable oil, divided

3 ears corn, husked, kernels cut from cobs (about 1½ to 2 cups)

^3/_4 cup unbleached all-purpose flour

12 cup masa harina*

12 cup yellow cornmeal

1 tablespoon granulated sugar

1 teaspoon baking powder

12 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon kosher salt

1½ cups low-fat buttermilk

2 large eggs

To finish waffles: Lime Crema (recipe follows)

1 cup crumbled cotija cheese Ground chipotle powder, for sprinkling Chopped fresh cilantro and lime wedges, for serving

1. In a medium to large skillet, heat the 2 teaspoons of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot and shimmering, add the corn and cook without stirring until lightly charred on one side, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn the kernels over and cook for an additional minute until crisp and tender. Remove from the heat and reserve.

2. Whisk together the dry ingredients in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk the buttermilk, eggs, and remaining vegetable oil to combine. Add the liquid ingredients to the dry and whisk until mostly smooth. Fold in the reserved corn kernels.

3. Secure the desired waffle plates in the waffle maker. Preheat the waffle maker to the desired setting; use a higher setting is recommended for crisp waffles. The waffle maker will beep to indicate it is ready to use.

4. Pour the recommended amount of batter, depending on whether Belgian- or classic-style waffles are being prepared, onto the center of the bottom waffle plate. Close the waffle maker, but do not lock. The waffle is done when the ready-for-use indicator beeps. Carefully open the waffle maker and remove the baked waffle. Repeat with the remaining batter.

5. Drizzle (or pipe, for a restaurant-style presentation) some Lime Crema on each waffle and top with some of the cotija cheese. Sprinkle with ground chipotle and cilantro. Serve immediately.

* Masa harina is a finely ground flour made from dried corn soaked in lime water and is traditionally used for making corn tortillas. It is available in most grocery stores.

Chicken and Waffles

This is a Southern staple that you can easily make at home. The chicken is best when marinated overnight, but if you are in a hurry, you can marinate it for a minimum of 3 hours.

Makes 8 servings

2 cups low-fat buttermilk

1 tablespoon hot sauce
1 tablespoon Dijon-style mustard
1½ teaspoons kosher salt, divided
1^1/2 teaspoons freshly ground black

pepper, divided

8 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1½ pounds), pounded thin
2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour

1½ teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon paprika Oil for frying (such as vegetable, canola, or peanut)
4 prepared Jalapeño Popper Waffles (page 13), kept warm

Maple syrup, for serving

1. In a medium nonreactive bowl, stir together the buttermilk, hot sauce, mustard, 1 teaspoon of the salt, and 1 teaspoon of the pepper. Add the chicken and coat well. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours, preferably overnight.
2. In a shallow mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, paprika, and remaining salt and pepper.
3. Preheat a Cuisinart® Deep Fryer to 375°F.* While the oil is heating, line a baking sheet with paper towels and insert a cooling rack inside the pan; reserve.
4. While the oil is heating, remove the chicken from the buttermilk mixture, and lightly coat each chicken piece evenly with the flour mixture, tapping away any excess.
5. Fry the chicken in batches, about 3 minutes per side. The internal temperature of the chicken should register 170^ F. Transfer to the prepared cooling rack.
6. To serve, quarter each waffle and serve 2 quarters with one piece of fried chicken and maple syrup on the side.

* If you do not have a deep fryer, the chicken can easily be fried on the stovetop. In a large sauté pan, add about 1 inch of oil and set the pan over medium-high heat. With a deep-fat thermometer clipped to the side of the pan, heat the oil to 375°F. Fry the chicken in batches, about 2 pieces at a time. Don't crowd the pot, or the oil will cool down too much and not fry well. Fry, flipping once, until the chicken is nicely browned, about 4 minutes per batch. The chicken should have an internal temperature of 170°F. Transfer the chicken to the prepared cooling rack.

Belgian Cinnamon Roll Waffles

Use the Belgian waffle plates to turn store-bought puff pastry into irresistibly sweet and flaky cinnamon rolls. They're so easy to make that you can enjoy them any time!

Makes 2 Belgian waffles, 8 individual "rolls"

1 / 2 cup packed dark brown sugar

1 tablespoon ground cinnamon Pinch kosher salt
1 package (17.3 ounces/2 sheets) frozen puff pastry, thawed overnight in the refrigerator

All-purpose flour, as needed

4 tablespoons ( 12 stick) unsalted butter, softened

Water, for brushing

Simple Icing

Makes about 34 cup

1 cup confectioners' sugar, sifted
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons whole milk

1. In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
2. Unfold one sheet of the puff pastry onto a lightly floured surface and dust the top with flour. Use a rolling pin to roll out the sheet to a 10-by-12-inch rectangle. Spread the dough with 2 tablespoons of the softened butter, leaving a 12 -inch border at the top edge. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the top and gently press to adhere. Brush the border with water.
3. Use a pastry wheel to cut the sheet into 8 equal strips. Tightly roll one strip away from you and pinch the end to seal. Place the roll on top of another strip, and tightly roll away from you, again pinching an end to seal. Continue to build on the first roll with the remaining strips until you have a large cinnamon roll. Place between two sheets of

parchment or waxed paper and gently press or roll into a 6-inch circle, being careful to keep the spiral shape. Repeat with the second puff pastry sheet and remaining ingredients. Place the rolls in the refrigerator to chill for 15 minutes.

1. Secure the Belgian waffle plates in the waffle maker. Preheat the waffle maker on Setting 5. The waffle maker will beep to indicate it is ready to use. While the waffle maker preheats, in a small bowl, whisk together the ingredients for the icing until smooth.
2. Place the first roll onto the bottom waffle plate. Press firmly to close the waffle maker but do not attempt to lock. Cook the waffle until deep golden brown, 6 to 8 minutes. When ready, carefully remove the baked waffle. Repeat with the remaining roll.
3. Drizzle icing over each waffle. Use a sharp knife to cut the waffles into quarters to create 8 individual "rolls." Serve warm.

1^1/2 cups vanilla ice cream
12 cup chocolate sauce
^2/_3 cup whipped cream

1. Sift the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt into a large mixing bowl and whisk to combine. In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, oil, and vanilla until combined. Add the liquid ingredients to the dry and mix until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips and walnuts.
2. Secure the Belgian waffle plates in the waffle maker. Preheat the waffle maker to the desired setting; these waffles turn out best on setting 4 or 5 due to their soft texture. The waffle maker will beep to indicate it is ready to use.
