Helpful Hints
• Have all the necessary tools and ingredients ready before you start.
• Use liquid gel food coloring for more vibrant colors.
• Do not fill the bottles more than ⅔ full. Some batters expand once they are in the bottle. If the bottle is too full, the batter may
overflow from the tip.
• Outline the design first so the batter stays where you want it. Then fill in the empty areas. The fill batter needs to touch the detail to
make a solid pancake and can overlap without affecting the design.
• If you do not thoroughly mix the batter, a lump in the batter may clog the fine tip. You will need to clear it before making more
pancake art:
1. You can unscrew the bottle top, insert a toothpick into the tip, and break up the lump.
2. You can insert the tine of a fork into the tip from the outside to break up the lump.
3. You can squeeze the bottle firmly, but briefly, into the mixing container to force the lump out.
• Lightly oil the template before use. You can use vegetable oil or no-stick cooking spray. Gently wipe the oil across the template with
a paper towel. You should oil the template again after making three or four pancakes.
• Start with simple designs until you get used to drawing on the griddle. Smaller designs are easier to flip than larger designs. Pancake
art improves with practice.
• If using letters in your design, write the letters backwards when you start. You will be able to read them once you flip the pancake.
Care and Cleaning
Wash the griddle in warm, soapy water before the first use. Rinse and dry thoroughly. After each use, allow the griddle to cool completely.
Then remove the heat control and clean the griddle.
Do not immerse the Control Master
NOTICE: The griddle should not be washed in the dishwasher. Because dishwasher detergent is harsh, the bottom of the griddle may
discolor or a gray residue may form. This residue may transfer to towels or to skin.
You do not need to soak the griddle to remove food residue. If you want to soak it, do not soak it more than two hours. Soaking the griddle
longer may damage the nonstick finish.
Clean the underside of the griddle and the cooking surface with a non-metal cleaning pad, such as Scotch-Brite* Multi-Purpose Scrub
Sponge or Scotch-Brite* Dobie* Cleaning Pad. Firm pressure can be applied, if necessary.
Do not use steel wool or abrasive kitchen cleaners.
Wash the bottles, bottle tips, and templates with warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry. Use a soft-bristle brush to clean any batter from the
bottles and tips. The bottles are top rack dishwasher safe.
The nonstick finish over the heating element may discolor or darken over time. This happens when food residue builds up on the cooking
surface. Follow these steps to remove the discoloration:
1. Make a cleaning solution. Add one tablespoon of powdered dishwasher detergent to one cup of hot water. Stir until the powder dissolves.
2. Place the griddle on a level, heat-resistant surface. Plug the griddle into a 120VAC outlet only. Turn the heat control to 225°.
3. Put on rubber gloves. Dip a non-metal cleaning pad into the solution and rub over the cooking surface. Repeat until the cleaning
solution is gone. Be careful not to get the cleaning solution on the griddle frame.
4. Turn the heat control to OFF and allow the griddle to cool completely.
5. Wash the griddle in warm, soapy water; rinse and dry.
6. Lightly wipe the cooking surface with vegetable oil before using again.
