LEARNING ABOUT YOUR FLIP BELGIAN WAFFLE MAKER
HOW TO:
USING YOUR OSTER® FLIP BELGIAN WAFFLE MAKER
For best results, follow these simple instructions.
When your waffl e maker is heated for the fi rst time, it may
emit slight smoke or odor. This is normal with many heating appliances. This
does not aff ect the safety of your appliance.
However, it may affect the flavor of the first set of waffles prepared in your waffle maker, and it is recommended that you discard these.
Preparing Your Flip Belgian Waffle Maker
1 Close the waffle maker and plug it into the wall outlet, you will notice
that the red power light will turn on. Turn the temperature control knob to
the desired setting. It will take approximately 5 to 8 minutes to reach baking
temperature. When the Green Ready Light goes on, the waffle maker is ready for
use.
2 Before baking the first waffles of the day, use a pastry brush to lightly
coat the top and bottom waffle grids with vegetable oil. A light coating of
non-stick cooking spray also works well.
Baking
- When the proper baking temperature is reached, the green light will go on. Once heated up, cycle times will be faster.
- Pour batter onto bottom grid of waffle maker. Ladle just enough batter to fill lower grid so that the peak area of the grid is covered. If necessary, use a spatula to spread the batter in to the corners of the grid. At this point the green light will go off as the baking cycle begins.
- Close waffle maker and rotate unit 180º to the right (clockwise). Do not open for at least 11⁄2 minutes. Opening the lid too soon will cause under-baked waffles to split, making them difficult to remove.
- When the green light goes on again, rotate waffle maker 180º to the left (counterclockwise). Your waffles should be done according to the Waffle Temperature Control setting that you’ve chosen. If you want them darker, close the lid and continue baking until the desired color is achieved.
- Remove waffles from the grid using non-metallic utensils.
- If additional baking is to be done, close waffle maker to retain heat. Always be sure the green light goes on again before making more waffles.
- If you need to take a short break, close waffle maker to maintain heat. When you return to baking, you will notice that the first waffles will bake faster because extra heat has been allowed to build up.
- Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is being used by or near children.
- When baking is complete, simply unplug the power cord from wall outlet. Leave waffle maker open to cool. Do not clean until unit has cooled.
Waffle Baking Tips
-
Set the Waffle Temperature Control to your desired setting.
At first, try a setting in the middle. You may later adjust it lower or higher according to your preference. A lower setting produces a lighter colored waffle, while waffles made at a higher setting are darker and crisper. Different waffle batters will also cook up differently. Over time, you will find your perfect setting for the batter you use. -
When preparing waffle batter, do not over mix or waffles will be tough. Stir batter only until large lumps of dry ingredients disappear.
-
The optimal amount of batter to produce a full-shaped waffle, without overflowing, will vary with different waffle batters. Pouring batter from a measuring cup will help you gauge how much batter to use each time. Fill bottom grid of waffle maker with enough batter to cover peak areas of the grid.
-
For more evenly shaped waffles, spread thick batters to outer edge of grid, using a heat proof rubber spatula or other non-metallic utensil before closing lid.
-
Cake-based waffles, such as the Chocolate Waffles are more tender than regular waffles, and may require more care when removing from waffle maker. You may want to break these waffles into halves or quarters before removing. Use a spatula to support waffles when removing from the waffle maker.
-
To retain crispness, move baked waffles to a wire cooling rack to prevent steam from accumulating underneath.
-
When serving several waffles at one time, keep waffles hot and crisp by placing on a rack in a preheated 200°F oven until ready to serve.
-
Already cooled waffles can be re-warmed and re-crisped, individually, by returning to hot waffle maker. Set Waffle
Temperature Control to low. Place waffle on grid so grooves match up; close lid and heat for 1 to 2 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning. -
Baked waffles freeze well. Cool completely on wire rack. Store in plastic freezer bag or in covered container,separating waffles with wax paper. Reheat frozen waffles in toaster oven, oven or toaster until hot and crisp.
CARE & CLEANING
Here are a few easy steps to keep your waffle maker looking and working like new:
-
Always unplug the waffle maker and allow it to cool before cleaning. There is no need to disassemble the waffle maker for cleaning. Never immerse the waffle maker in water or place in dishwasher.
-
Brush away any loose crumbs from the grooves. Wipe grids clean with a paper towel, absorbing any oil or butter that might be down in the grooves of the grid. You can also wipe grids with a damp cloth. Do not use anything abrasive that can scratch or damage the non-stick coating.
-
Wipe the outside of the waffle maker with a damp cloth only.
Do not clean the outside with any abrasive scouring pad or steel wool, as this will damage the finish. A little metal polish suitable for stainless steel may be used occasionally on the top housing. Do not immerse in water or any other liquid.
Do not place in the dishwasher. -
Should any batter become baked onto the grids, pour a little cooking oil onto the hardened batter. Let sit 5 minutes to soften batter, then wipe off with a paper towel or soft cloth.
-
Do not use metal utensils to remove your waffles, they can damage the non-stick surface.
