Questions and Answers
Can I use waffle mixes?
Yes, packaged waffle mixes may be prepared and then baked in the Presto
®
Belgian Waffle Bowl Maker. Batter made from some packaged
mixes may have a shorter baking time. Be sure to check for doneness after 3½ minutes.
Is it okay to prepare my own waffle recipes?
Yes, you can use your own waffle recipes or any of the recipes on page 4.
Should I regularly apply vegetable oil to the grids?
No. Excessive use of oil can damage the nonstick coating and over time may even cause sticking. Apply oil only if you find it difficult to
remove a waffle bowl. No-stick cooking sprays are not recommended as they may leave a tacky residue. In addition, the waffle bowl may
have a mottled appearance instead of the even brown appearance as when using vegetable oil.
Can I make cake bowls? If so, how?
If desired, plain cake mixes (avoid those containing nuts, candy chips, sprinkles, etc., as they may scorch) may be prepared and then baked
in the Presto
®
Belgian Waffle Bowl Maker. Fill the bottom grid with batter to the fill lines. Bake for approximately 3½ minutes. Carefully
remove the cake bowl because it will be pliable. Invert cake bowl over upside down custard cup for 2 to 3 minutes to firm the bowl shape.
Cake bowls make great desserts. Fill them with fresh fruit, whipped topping, pudding, ice cream and more.
How can I make bread bowls in the waffle bowl maker?
Yeast breads and frozen bread dough may be baked in the Presto
®
Belgian Waffle Bowl Maker, if desired. However, avoid sweet roll yeast
breads, such as cinnamon and caramel rolls, as they may scorch. If using frozen dough, thaw and allow to rise according to package directions
before baking. Form dough into approximately a 2½-inch ball (approximately 4 ounces) and place into the center of the waffle bowl maker.
Dough should be about to the fill line. Close the cover and bake for 1 to 1½ minutes. Add a pat of butter to your bread bowl and sprinkle with
cinnamon and sugar, or spread with peanut butter and jelly, or serve with a small ladle of chili or stew.
I want to make several waffle bowls in advance. How can I still serve them hot and crisp?
Keep waffle bowls warm and crisp until serving by placing them in a single layer directly on a rack in a 200°F oven.
Is there a way to keep leftover waffles for later use?
If you have leftover waffle bowls, freeze them. Cool extra waffle bowls to room temperature. Place them between layers of waxed paper in a
resealable plastic freezer bag and freeze for up to 1 month. When ready to serve, reheat in the waffle bowl maker. Preheat unit and then reheat
waffle bowl for approximately 4 minutes. If you prefer, reheat the waffle bowls in an oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes.
I often eat on the run; how do I make a fold-and-go waffle and with what can I fill it?
After cooking a waffle bowl, carefully remove it from the grids and fill it with the desired ingredients, such as two cooked scrambled eggs.
Then fold it in half for an egg sandwich. You can also make a waffle taco. Fill waffle bowl with grilled or crispy chicken tenders, lettuce, and
Dijon-style mustard. Fold it in half for lunch on the run.
Suggested Waffle Bowl Fillings
The filling possibilities are endless. Here are just a few ideas to get you started:
♦ Syrup and butter for a traditional-tasting waffle.
♦ Your favorite fresh fruit.
♦ Yogurt, fresh fruit, and granola for a sweet parfait.
♦ Scrambled eggs, ham, bacon, sausage, hash browns and more for hearty breakfasts.
♦ Sliced strawberries and whipped topping for a delightful strawberry shortcake waffle treat.
