Tips To Make Perfect Waffles

1. Before you use dessert batters to cook waffles, it may require you to apply vegetable oil to the waffle grids. However, excessive use of oil can damage the nonstick coating and overtime baking may even cause stickness.
2. It is recommend to take 4~5 minutes for a golden brown baked waffle.
3. For batter that don’t flow when poured onto the waffle plates, use a heat-resistant spatula and spread out the batter evenly into the plates.
4. For evenly filled waffles, pour the batter onto the center of the lower plate and close the cover.
5. Baked waffles may be hot. Allow them to cool completely, then place them in the plastic food storage bag. Use waxed paper to keep waffles separated. Reheat them in a toaster or an oven when you want to eat them.
6. Batter made from some packaged mixes may take a shorter baking time, so it is recommended that you check the baking degree after 3 minutes. A good indication is that the waffle is done when steam escaping from the waffle maker stops.
7. Whether you use mixes or homemade recipes, the amount of batter for an evenly filled waffle without overflow will vary. When you make waffles at the first time, it is recommended that you use a measuring cup to gauge how much batter is needed and use 1½ cup of batter for per evenly filled waffle. You can make double waffles at the same time, but never use more than 1 cup of batter for one waffle. If the batter is overflow, be sure to use less batter for the next waffle.
8. Keep waffles warm and crisp until they are directly placed on a single-layer rack in a 200°F oven.
9. If you have leftover waffles, cool them to a proper temperature, then place them between layers of waxed paper in a resealable plastic freezer bag. When you want to eat the waffles, pop the frozen waffles into your toaster or reheat them in an oven at 350°F for about 5 minutes.
