a fork, spear the side of the wafe and lift it from the grids.

8. Unplug wafe maker when cooking is completed.
Helpful Hints
♦ If desired, packaged wafe mixes may be prepared and baked in the Presto
®
wafe maker. Batter made
from some packaged mixes may have a shorter baking time, so it is recommended that you check for
doneness after 2 minutes. A good indication that the wafe is done is when steam escaping from the
wafe maker stops.
♦ Wafe batters, whether using mixes or homemade recipes, will vary and therefore the amount of batter
needed for an evenly lled wafe, without overow, will vary. It is recommended that when making
the rst wafe you use a measuring cup to gauge how much batter is needed. Generally between
¾ and 1 cup works best. Never use more than 1 cup of batter. If you get some overow, be sure to use
less batter for the next wafe.
♦ For batters that don’t ow when poured onto the wafe grid, use a heat-resistant spatula and spread
out the batter evenly to the edges of the grid.
♦ Dessert batters may require an application of vegetable oil to the wafe grids before cooking the rst
wafe and as needed for additional wafes. Excessive use of oil can damage the nonstick coating and
over time may even cause sticking.
♦ No-stick cooking sprays are not recommended for seasoning the waffle maker as they may leave a tacky residue. In addition, the
waffle may have a mottled appearance instead of the even brown appearance as when using vegetable oil.
♦ Keep wafes warm and crisp until serving by placing them in a single layer directly on a rack in a 200°F oven.
♦ If you have leftover wafes, freeze them. Cool extra wafes 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, pop the frozen wafes into your toaster or reheat
in an oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes.
