Lagrange Premium Gaufres - Cooking Tips

COOKING TIPS
IMPORTANT:
Never grease the appliance before pre-heating but
instead just before pouring in the batter or any other
preparation.
1. COOKING WAFFLES (WAFFLES, HEART-SHAPED
WAFFLES AND MINI-WAFFLES)
*
Heat the appliance until the green light comes on and the ready
signal sounds.
*
Although plates in the appliance have non-stick coating,
we recommend greasing them lightly.
*
Open the appliance and grease both plates using a silicone brush,
paper towel or piece of cotton. (If using a brush, dip it into a
small cup of cooking oil to cover it well.) Grease again only lightly
before cooking the next wafes. After that, grease again only if
the wafes start to stick on opening the lid.
*
Use the control panel for precise control over browning of your
wafes. Use the dial to adjust the wafe iron temperature and
control browning precisely.
- Select position1 to obtain a light wafe
- Select position 3 to obtain a brown wafe
- With position 2 you will obtain wafe transitional color)
*
Adjust the texture adjustment button to modify cooking time:
- Faster cooking for softer wafes (wafes are soft and chewy
on the inside and crispy on the outside).
- Slower cooking for extra-crispy wafes (heated longer to
remove all moisture from the inside and make them crispy
through and through).
*
Pour the batter onto only one plate taking care to cover all squares
completely. You can use a jug instead of a ladle.
*
Close the lid, wait
3 to 4 seconds and then rotate the head.
*
After 1 minute and 30 seconds more, rotate the head back to its
starting position. IMPORTANT: The rotation process is important
for making the best wafes. If you do not do this, your wafes will
look less appetizing (squares on top tray not lled in completely,
light spots on wafe making the surface irregular). Even with
rotation, this may happen also if you do not use enough batter.
However, be careful as the appliance may release steam during
turning. We recommend using a potholder or mitt when rotating.
*
The green light will come on and the appliance will emit four short
tones when it is time to open the lid.
IMPORTANT: Cooking wafes is a subtle art in which the slightest
change in ingredient proportions in the dough can affect appearance
and avour signicantly. The timing of the green ready light was
calculated based on a standard wafe dough recipe and the
opinions of a representative consumer panel. Differences in
timing due to your own particular preferences are not
to be considered a defect of the appliance.
*
Pick up your wafes using a sharp knife to stab the thick part of
the wafe and apply slight pressure to lift it off.
1.1 Troubleshooting
*
Wafe top and bottom coming apart: removing too quickly
from mould.
*
Wafes breaking apart: batter too watery or too dry (not enough fat).
*
Wafes burning: cooking too long or forgetting about wafes!
*
Wafes burnt on one side, uncooked on the other: lled improperly
or batter too watery or appliance not rotated.
*
Wafes sticking to moulds: plates greased incorrectly or plates
too hot for rst wafes or too much sugar or not enough fat in
the batter.
