Presto 03500 Belgian Waffle Bowl Maker

Presto-03500-Belgian-Waffle-Bowl-Maker-Imgg

A delightfully different kind of waffle bowl. Thick, fluffy, and tender because it’s a real waffle!
Just bake and fill for hearty “eat the bowl” breakfasts and delicious desserts.
Fill with eggs, sausage, ham, hash browns, fresh fruit and more. Even ice cream or yogurt.

This is a U/L Listed appliance. The following important safeguards are recommended by most portable appliance manufacturers.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

To reduce the risk of personal injury or property damage when using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

Read all instructions before using the waffle bowl maker.
To protect against the risk of electrical shock, never put the cord, plug, or unit in water or other liquids.
Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
Unplug from the outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning the appliance.
Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or in the event the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Return the appliance to the Presto Factory Service Department for examination, repair, or electrical or mechanical adjustment.
The use of accessory attachments not recommended or sold by the appliance manufacturer may cause injuries.
Do not let the cord hang over the edge of the table or counter or touch hot surfaces.
Do not use outdoors.
Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner or in a heated oven.
It is recommended that this appliance not be moved when it contains hot oil or other hot liquid.
Do not use the appliance for other than intended use.

WARNING! FOR CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS
State of California Proposition 65 requires that we include the following warning:
This product contains a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.

Important Cord Information
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.

A short power supply cord (or cord set) is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. An extension cord may be used if care is properly exercised in its use. If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance. The extension cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.

Connect the power supply cord to a 120VAC electrical outlet only.

How to Use

Become familiar with the Presto® Belgian Waffle Bowl Maker (Fig. A). Squeeze the cover latch and open the waffle bowl maker. Wipe the waffle grids with a damp cloth before initial use.

Plug the waffle bowl maker into a 120VAC electrical outlet and preheat with the cover in the closed position. NOTE: When using the waffle bowl maker for the first time, a slight odor or smoking may occur as manufacturing residue burns off. This is normal during initial use.
While the unit is preheating, prepare waffle batter from a commercial mix, one of the recipes on page 4, or your recipe. NOTE: The red signal light will be illuminated while the unit is preheating. When the unit is ready for use, the light will go out. Preheat time will be approximately 3 to 3½ minutes.
Because the grids are covered with a nonstick coating, there will be only an occasional need to apply vegetable oil. If you find it difficult to remove a waffle bowl, apply a light coating of vegetable oil to the grids before your next use. No-stick cooking sprays are not recommended as they may leave a tacky residue.
Pour waffle batter into the bottom grid. For most batters, pour to the fill lines (Fig. A). However, for thin batters, pour under the fill lines. If you prefer using a measuring cup, pour in approximately ½ cup. NOTE: Different batters expand at different rates. If your first waffle bowl is too tall (batter flows into the overflow area), reduce the batter to slightly below the fill lines for the next waffle bowl; or if you would like a taller waffle bowl, fill slightly above the fill lines for subsequent batches.
NOTICE : Do not strike the rim of the waffle bowl maker with any cooking utensil as this may scratch the nonstick surface.
Squeeze the cover latch, lower the cover until closed, and release the latch. During cooking the signal light will cycle on and off. CAUTION! As with any waffle maker, steam escapes during cooking. Keep hands and face away from steam to prevent steam burns. Take extra care when opening the waffle bowl maker as hot steam may escape near the latch and could cause burns.
Set a timer to the desired time. See recipes on page 4 for recommended cooking times. Most waffle bowls will cook in 3½ to 4½ minutes. The waffle bowl is done when the unit stops emitting steam.
Check the waffle bowl at 3½ minutes to see if it is golden brown. If additional browning is desired, cook for an additional 30 seconds to 1 minute. When cooking is complete, use a fork to carefully spear the interior of the waffle bowl and lift it from the grids, making sure you don’t scratch the nonstick surface.
Repeat steps 4 through 7 for additional waffle bowls.
Fill waffle bowls with desired ingredients.
Unplug the waffle bowl maker when cooking is completed.

Care, Cleaning, and Storage

Unplug the unit and allow it to cool completely before cleaning. Never immerse the waffle bowl maker in water or other liquid or wash it in a dishwasher.
Brush any loose crumbs from the waffle grids. Then wipe the grids with a paper towel or cloth.
Should any batter become baked onto the grids or the outside of the unit, apply a small amount of cooking oil to the batter. Allow the oil to sit a few minutes to soften the batter and then wipe off with a paper towel or cloth.
Wipe the outside of the waffle bowl maker with a damp cloth. Do not use steel wool scouring pads or abrasive kitchen cleaners on the unit.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use waffle mixes?

Yes, packaged waffle mixes may be prepared and then baked in the Presto® Belgian Waffle Bowl Maker. A 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 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 an even brown appearance 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 the cake bowl over an 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 bread 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.

What is the power consumption of the Presto 03500 waffle maker?

Keep waffle bowls warm and crisp until serving by placing them in a single layer directly on a rack in a 200°F oven.

Does this waffle maker come with a temperature control feature?

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 the unit and then reheat the 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 the waffle bowl with grilled or crispy chicken tenders, lettuce, and Dijon-style mustard. Fold it in half for lunch on the run.
