HOW TO OPERATE
1. Before rst use, wipe down all surfaces with a dry, non-abrasive cloth.
2. Find a dry, suitable, level surface near an electrical outlet.
3. Insert the desired Cooking Plates into the Main Unit.
4. The Cooking Plates should be lightly coated with a small amount of vegetable
oil. Vegetable oil can be applied with a paper towel or with a nonstick oil
spray. The oil will help protect the nonstick quality of the cooking surface.
This should be done periodically to maintain the nonstick quality.
5. Preheat the appliance by closing the Lid and plugging into an electrical outlet.
6. When the power is on, the Red Power Light
will come on. The Green Ready Light will stay
on while the appliance is preheating.
7. The appliance should preheat for a minimum
of 3 minutes. The Green Ready Light will turn
o when the appliance is ready to cook.
8. While the appliance is
preheating, you may prepare pretzel dough.
9. Roll the dough out onto a oured surface, making sure that it is thick enough
to ll the cavity of the Pretzel Cutters. You may need to periodically sprinkle the
dough with our or cornmeal to ensure that dough does not get too sticky.
10. Cut dough using the Pretzel Cutter that matches the Cooking Plate (i.e. Jumbo
Pretzel Cutter cuts pretzels for the Jumbo Pretzel Cooking Plates). Simply press
Pretzel Cutter into the rolled out pretzel dough. Pull dough from around the Pretzel
Cutter and press top of Pretzel Cutter to release the perfectly formed pretzel.
11. Raise the Lid using an oven mitt or pot holder to prevent accidental burns.
12. Carefully place the formed pretzel dough onto
the pretzel shapes on the Cooking Plates.
13. Close the Lid using a pot holder or oven mitt.
Make sure Lid is locked by closing latch.
Steam may be released from appliance during
cooking. For your safety, avoid contact with steam,
as it is very hot and can cause burns.
14. The cooking time will range between 3-7 minutes.
15. Once the pretzels have completed cooking, unlock and raise the Lid with a pot holder or
oven mitt. Remove the pretzels from the Cooking Plates with a plastic or wooden kitchen
utensil. DO NOT use metal utensils, as they may scratch and damage the Cooking Plates.
16. If cooking more than one batch of pretzels in a session, after removal of the rst
batch, lower the Lid to maintain heat until ready to cook the next batch.
17. As soon as you are nished cooking, unplug appliance and allow to cool.
18. Once the appliance is cool, follow the directions in the Cleaning and

HELPFUL TIPS
NEVER leave the unit unattended while operating.
Smoking
During rst use, you may notice slight smoking or a slight odor; this is normal
with most new appliances. The smoking and odor is caused by the residues
burning o the nonstick Cooking Plates and the Heating Element. Allow
the appliance to preheat until smoke and odor no longer exists.
Dough
If dough is too sticky, add more our. Always make sure that you knead and
roll out dough on a well-oured surface. Cornmeal may also work well.

TRADITIONAL SOFT PRETZELS
• 1½ Cups Water
• 1¼ Tsp. Active Dry
Yeast (1 pkg.)
• 2 Tbsp. Brown Sugar
• 1¼ Tsp. Salt
• 1 Cup Bread Flour
• 3 Cups Flour
• 2 Cups Water
• 2 Tbsp. Baking Soda
• Sea Salt
• 2-4 Tbsp. Butter
(melted)
Preheat the 2-IN-1 SOFT PRETZEL MAKER as directed.
Sprinkle yeast on lukewarm water in
mixing bowl; stir to dissolve.
Add sugar, salt and stir to dissolve; add our
and knead dough until smooth and elastic.
Let rise at least ½ hour.
While dough is rising, prepare a baking soda water bath
with 2 cups warm water and 2 Tbsp. baking soda.
Stir often.
After dough has risen, roll out dough and cut
into pretzel shapes with Pretzel Cutters.
Dip pretzels into baking soda solution and
place onto preheated Cooking Plates.

Open Lid with a pot holder or oven mitt.
Remove each pretzel with a wooden or plastic
kitchen utensil. Brush with melted butter.
Toppings: After you brush with butter
try sprinkling with sea salt.
To make sweet pretzels, melt a stick of butter in a shallow
bowl (big enough to t the entire pretzel) and in another
shallow bowl make a mixture of cinnamon and sugar.
Dip the pretzel into the butter, coating
both sides generously.
Then dip again into the cinnamon mixture.
