TIPS TO MAKE PERFECT WAFFLES We recommend setting #3 for golden brown waffles. If you prefer crisper, darker waffles, increase the browning control to setting #4 or #5. For evenly filled waffles, pour the batter onto the center of the lower grid and close the cover. We recommend using ½ cup (125 ml) batter per waffle for evenly filled waffles. Waffles are 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 toaster or toaster oven when ready to use.
