POWER On and READY Lights
The red POWER On Light comes on
when the unit is plugged in. This light
will stay on until the unit is unplugged.
The green READY Light comes on
when the waffle baker has reached
the perfect temperature. For best
results, wait until the green READY
Light comes on before adding the
waffle batter.
Waffle Baker Tips
Recipes that call for eggs to be
separated and the whites beaten will
produce very light and airy waffles.
However, if you are short on time, this
step can be skipped. Just slightly beat
eggs with a fork and add to the recipe.
Most waffle recipes call for oil OR
melted butter. To save time, use oil
instead of butter. The butter simply
makes a slightly richer-tasting waffle.
Most waffle batter can be made the
night before and refrigerated to save
time in the morning.
Most waffle recipes can be poured
directly onto the nonstick waffle
grids. Use a cooking spray for
dessert waffles or those 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.
• Use waffles for lunch and dinner.
