Baking & Serving Tips - KitchenAid KPWB100 Instructions

BaKInG & servInG tIPs
• Whether one or two waffles are being prepared, always rotate
the baking unit after filling a waffle plate. This coats both
the upper and lower waffle plates with batter
and ensures the finest consistency.
• Don't overfill the waffle plates. Pour the
batter onto the center of the plate, then
evenly spread it out to the edges using a soft
spatula or the bottom of a non-metallic ladle.
The batter should almost cover the peaks of the
waffle grid.
• Do not coat the waffle plates with spray-on oils or shortenings – they will produce
a gummy build-up that will be difficult to remove. If your waffles tend to stick to
the plates, add a little more butter or oil to the recipe.
• Use a pitcher instead of a ladle: it's much easier to pour batter than to ladle it.
• Close the baker lid immediately after removing a waffle. This helps maintain the
proper baking temperature for additional waffles.
• Waffles will lose their crispiness if stacked or placed on a solid surface. For the best
results, keep waffles on a wire rack before serving.
• When preparing multiple waffles for serving, keep the finished waffles warm by
placing them in a 200º F (93º C) oven for up to 15 minutes. Lay the waffles in a
single layer directly on the oven rack. Waffles can also be warmed by placing them
into a pre-heated Waffle Baker for 1 minute.
• Extra waffles can be frozen with very good results. Cool the leftovers in a single
layer on a wire rack, separate the waffles with wax paper, and place them in a
plastic freezer bag or other airtight container before putting them into the freezer.
When you're ready to enjoy them, lay them in a single layer directly on the oven
rack and heat for 10 minutes at 300º F (150º C). Frozen waffles can also be
heated by placing them into a pre-heated Waffle Baker for 2 1 ⁄ to 3 minutes.
