Waffle Baking Tips - Bella Rotating Belgian Waffle Maker Instruction Manual

12. Remove waffles from the cooking plates using non-metallic utensils.
NOTE: If additional waffles are to be baked, keep the Rotating Waffle
Maker closed to retain heat. Always be sure the green light is illuminated
before baking more waffles.
NOTE: Waffles made later will bake faster because extra heat has been
retained.
13. When baking is complete, unplug the power cord from electric outlet.
Lift top cooking plate and allow to cool. Make sure the Rotating Waffle
Maker's bottom cooking plate is positioned flat and locked into a stable
position.
14. Do not clean until unit has been fully cooled.

Waffle Baking Tips

• Recipes may be doubled.
• Sift all dry ingredients together. It is not necessary to beat egg yolks and
milk separately.
Just add them to the combined flour mixture and use a whisk or mixer to
blend the ingredients well.
• Egg whites should be beaten until they form stiff peaks. Stir 1/4 of the
beaten whites into the batter to lighten it, and then gently fold in the
rest. There should be white streaks in the batter. Do not over-mix batter
when adding egg whites.
• Do not open the Rotating Waffle Maker during the first minute of baking
or the waffle will separate. Completely bake the waffle before removing.
• When a waffle is done, the top cooking plate should lift easily. Lift the
plate gently; if it pulls, continue cooking for 1 minute and test again.
• 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 to gauge how much batter to use each time. Fill
bottom grid of Rotating Waffle Maker with enough batter to cover peak
areas of the grid about 3/4 to 1 cup.
• For more evenly shaped waffles, spread thick batters to the outer edge
of the cooking plate using a heat-proof rubber spatula or other non-
metallic utensil before closing the lid.
• Cake-based waffles are tenderer than regular waffles, and may require
more care when removing from the Waffle Maker. Use a spatula to
support waffles when removing from the Rotating Waffle Maker.
• To retain crispness, move baked waffles to a paper napkin or a wire
cooling rack to absorb any condensation. To keep waffles hot, place in an
ovenproof dish on an oven rack and warm at about 200-250°F (90-120°C).
