Chef'sChoice KrumKake Express 839 - Rolling the Cone

6
Here is how the red and green timer lights work. Ladle the batter onto the plate when the green
light is ON; in about 20-30 seconds it will go off and the red light will come ON. This indicates
that the plates are heating. In another 30 to 40 seconds, the red light goes off and the green
light will turn ON. Open the lid and check the krumkake. Bake a few more seconds if needed to
obtain the best color. If you find it easier, use a timer and bake your cones for 60 to 75 seconds
depending on size and desired color.
Note: Always unplug the KrumKake Express
™
immediately after use. Never leave it unattended
when plugged in. Children should not be allowed to use the KrumKake Express
™
except in the
presence of an attentive adult.
ROLLING THE CONE
The cone form provided with your KrumKake Express
™
helps you make uniformly shaped cones
with ease. After a few cones, you will develop the knack of holding the warm cone and shaping
it into a neat form perfect for your favorite filling.
Follow the illustrated steps the first few times you make cones to perfect your skills. As soon
as the wafer is baked, remove it from the KrumKake Express
™
. Immediately place it on a thin
and dry soft cloth as shown below (Figure 4). Position the point of the cone-form, near the
circumference of the edge of the krumkake with the cone-form resting across the diameter
of the krumkake. Use the edge of the cloth to lift one edge of the krumkake up onto the cone
form. Then using the cloth initially to help support the hot krumkake, press it snugly against and
partially around the cone form (Figure 5). Then let the cloth fall back as you roll the cone forward
until the krumkake completely enwraps the cone form (Figure 6). Hold the krumkake on the
cone form. With the overlapped seam of the krumkake down under the cone, press firmly down
against the waffle and cone form to “freeze” the cone into shape. Hold the cone around the form
in this way until it is sufficiently cool and stiff enough to hold its shape.
The cloth helps to protect your fingers from the hot waffle. If your fingers are comfortable with
the heat, you may find the cloth unnecessary.
Set the warm cone aside in a cone holder or on its side until it cools or until you are ready to
serve. If you plan to use the cones later, allow them to cool and dry completely before storing
in a sealed plastic bag or tightly covered container. Most cones will keep several weeks when
packaged this way and stored in a cool dry place.
