WAFFLE STICKS BAKINg TIPS
• Do not open the Waffle Stick Maker during the first minute of baking or the waffle will
separate. Completely bake the waffle before removing.
• When waffle sticks are done, the top lid should lift easily. Lift gently; if it pulls,
continue cooking for 1 minute and test again.
• When preparing waffle batter, do not over-mix or waffle sticks will be tough. Stir batter
only until large lumps of dry ingredients disappear.
• The optimal amount of batter to produce a full-shaped waffle, without overflowing,
will vary with different waffle batters.
• For more evenly shaped waffle sticks, spread thick batters to the outer edge of the lower
cooking plate using a heat-proof rubber spatula or other non-metallic utensil before
closing the lid.
• To retain crispness, move baked waffle sticks to a paper napkin or a wire cooling rack
to absorb any condensation. To keep waffle sticks hot, place in an ovenproof dish on
an oven rack and warm at about 200-250°F (90-120°C). Waffles sticks will keep for about
15 minutes before they begin to dry out.
• Cooled waffle sticks can be re-warmed and re-crisped individually by returning to hot
Waffle Stick Maker. Place waffle sticks on lower cooking plate to match molds; close lid
and heat for 1 minute, watching carefully to prevent burning.
• Baked waffle sticks freeze well. Cool waffle sticks completely on a wire rack. Store in a
plastic freezer bag or in a covered container, separating each waffle stick with wax paper.
Reheat frozen waffle sticks in a toaster oven or oven, until hot and crisp.
