3 The optimal amount of batter to produce a full-shaped
waffl e, without overfl owing, will vary with diff erent waffl e
batters. Pouring batter from a measuring cup will help you
gauge how much batter to use each time. Fill bottom grid
of waffl
e maker with enough batter to cover peak areas of
the grid.
4 For more evenly shaped waffl es, spread thick batters to
outer edge of grid, using a heat proof rubber spatula or
other non-metallic utensil before closing lid.
5 Cake-based waffl es, such as the Chocolate Waffl es are more
tender than regular waffl es, and may require more care
when removing from waffl e maker. You may want to break
these waffl es into halves or quarters before removing. Use
a spatula to support waffl es when removing from the
waffl e maker.
6 To retain crispness, move baked waffl es to a wire cooling
rack to prevent steam from accumulating underneath.
7 When serving several waffl es at one time, keep waffl es
hot and crisp by placing on a rack in a preheated 200°F
oven until ready to serve.
8 Already cooled waffl es can be re-warmed and re-crisped,
individually, by returning to hot waffl e maker. Set Waffl e
Temperature Control to low. Place waffl e on grid so grooves
match up; close lid and heat for 1 to 2 minutes, watching
carefully to prevent burning.
9 Baked waffl es freeze well. Cool completely on wire rack.
Store in plastic freezer bag or in covered container,
separating waffl
es with wax paper. Reheat frozen waffl es
in toaster oven, oven or toaster until hot and crisp.
