Sunbeam Pattie CC3200

The Sunbeam Pattie® Cupcake Maker, model CC3200, is a compact and user-friendly appliance designed to create delicious cupcakes quickly and efficiently. This instruction and recipe booklet provides comprehensive details on its features, usage, maintenance, and a variety of recipes to help users get the most out of their cupcake maker.

Function Description

The Sunbeam Pattie® Cupcake Maker is primarily designed for baking cupcakes. It features six individual cupcake holes, allowing users to bake a batch of six cupcakes in approximately 10 minutes. The appliance operates by pre-heating non-stick cooking plates to an optimal temperature, indicated by "Warm up / Ready Indicators." Once the "READY" light illuminates, the cupcake maker is ready for use. Users can place prepared patty cases filled with cupcake mixture directly into the holes, close the lid, and allow them to cook. The non-stick coating on the cooking plates ensures easy removal of cooked cupcakes and simplifies the cleaning process. The appliance is designed for household and similar applications, including staff kitchen areas, farmhouses, hotels, motels, and bed and breakfast environments. It is not intended for commercial use exceeding three months.

Usage Features

Pre-heating: To begin, plug the appliance into a 230/240 volt power outlet, ensuring the cord is fully unwrapped. The cupcake maker will pre-heat until the "WARM UP" light goes out and the "READY" light comes on, indicating it has reached the correct cooking temperature.
Mixture Preparation: Prepare your desired cupcake mixture and separate it evenly into patty cases. The booklet includes various recipes for basic, chocolate, strawberry, butterfly, cookie and cream, banana, dairy-free, gluten-free, egg-free, and sugar-free cupcakes, as well as muffins and mini cheesecakes.
Cooking: Once the appliance is ready, carefully transfer the filled patty cases into the cupcake holes. If placing mixture directly into the cupcake maker without patty cases, it is advised to lightly spray the cooking plates with cooking oil spray beforehand. Gently close the lid.
Monitoring: Allow the cupcakes to cook for the recommended time (typically 10 minutes) or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. It is crucial not to lift the lid before the recommended cooking time, as this can affect the cooking result.
Removal: To remove cooked cupcakes, always use a plastic or wooden spatula to avoid damaging the non-stick surface. Never use sharp objects or metal utensils.
Versatility: The cupcake maker can also be used to bake muffins (with or without patty cases) and mini cheesecakes, with adjusted cooking times as specified in the recipes.
Freezing: Cooked cupcakes and muffins can be frozen for later use. Allow them to cool completely, then place them into an airtight container before freezing. Muffins can be individually wrapped for lunchbox treats.

Maintenance Features

Cleaning: Always turn off the power and remove the plug from the power outlet after use and before cleaning. The non-stick cooking plates require minimal cleaning; simply wipe them over with a damp cloth.
Avoid Immersion: Do not immerse the cupcake maker in water or any other liquid.
Cleaning Agents: Do not use abrasive scouring pads, powders, or harsh cleaners, as these can damage the non-stick surface.
Pre-use Greasing: Before each use, especially when cooking without patty cases, lightly grease the cooking plates to ensure easy removal of cooked items.
Cord Storage: The appliance features cord storage, allowing the power cord to be neatly wrapped around the base for safe and convenient storage.
