months.

package directions for waffles.
• don't use water to clean the nonstick waffle plates, simply allow it to cool and brush off any
crumbs that may be left in the grids. Cotton swabs are handy for cleaning between the ridges.
• For lighter waffles, separate the eggs and beat the egg whites to soft peaks and fold in just
before cooking the waffles.
• For extra crispy waffles, add 2 to 3 tbsp of melted butter or oil to the batter.
• Waffles can be kept warm by placing them on a rack or a cookie sheet in a preheated oven set
to 300ºF.
• Never stack cooked waffles; this makes them soggy.
• To reheat waffles, use your preheated toaster oven and set it to 350º F, for about 5 minutes.

o Mashed banana
