TIPS FOR MAKING
PERFECT WAFFLES
We recommend setting #3 when using
commercial pancake/waffle mixes.
We recommend setting #4 for most homemade
(from scratch) waffle recipes.
If you prefer crisper, darker waffles, increase the
browning control.
For evenly filled waffles, pour the batter into the
centre of the lower grid and spread out evenly to
the edges. The entire lower grid should be filled.
For best results, we recommend using 3/4 cup (175 ml)
batter to fill the entire lower grid.
Waffles taste best when made to order, but
baked waffles may be kept warm in a 200°F
(95°C) oven. Place in a baking pan or wrap in foil
while in the oven. Waffles wrapped in foil may
lose their crispiness.
Baked waffles may be frozen. Allow to cool
completely, then place in plastic food storage
bag. Use waxed paper to keep waffles
separated. Reheat in a Cuisinart
®
toaster or
toaster oven when ready to use.

Belgian Waffle Baker on setting #4*
(green indicator light will be illuminated when
preheated).
Pour 3/4 cup (175 ml) batter onto preheated
w a ffle baker grid. Using a heat-proof plastic spatu-
la, spread batter until evenly distributed. Allow bat-
ter to bubble for 5 - 10 seconds, then close cover
of waffle baker. Indicator light will turn red. When
light turns green again, waffle is ready. Open cover
and carefully remove baked waffle. Repeat with
remaining batter. For best results, serve immedi-

* We recommend using setting #4 to achieve a
golden brown baked waffle. Adjust the browning
control if you prefer lighter or darker waffles.
