Important Cord Information
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit
into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.
A short power supply cord (or cord set) is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer
cord. Extension cords may be used if care is properly exercised in their use.
If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the
appliance. The extension cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by
children or tripped over unintentionally.
Connect the power supply cord to a 120VAC electrical outlet only.
How To Use
Become familiar with the PrestoBelgian Waffle Bowl Maker (Fig. A). Squeeze the cover latch and open the waffle bowl maker. Wipe
the waffle grids with a damp cloth before initial use.
1. Plug the waffle bowl maker into a 120VAC electrical outlet and preheat with
the cover in the closed position.
NOTE: When using the waffle bowl maker the first time, a slight odor or
smoking may occur as manufacturing residue burns off. This is normal during
initial use.
2. While the unit is preheating, prepare waffle batter from a commercial mix, one
of the recipes on pages 4 and 5, or your own recipe.
NOTE: The red signal light will be illuminated while the unit is preheating.
When the unit is ready for use, the light will go out. The preheat time will be
approximately 3 to 3½ minutes.
3. Before the first use, after the unit has preheated, use a brush or paper towel and
apply a light coating of cooking oil to the grids (no-stick cooking spray is not
recommended). You may find it helpful to repeat the process for the next 2 or
3 waffle bowls. Thereafter, apply oil only if you find it difficult to remove a
waffle bowl.
4. Pour waffle batter into the bottom grid. For most batters, pour to the fill lines
(Fig. A). However, for thin batters, pour to under the fill lines. If you prefer
using a measuring cup, pour in approximately ½ cup.
NOTE: Different batters expand at different rates. If your first waffle bowl is too tall (batter flows into the overflow area), reduce
the batter to slightly below the fill lines for the next waffle bowl; or if you would like a taller waffle bowl, fill slightly above the fill
lines for subsequent batches.
NOTICE: Do not strike the rim of the waffle bowl maker with any cooking utensil as this may scratch the nonstick surface.
5. Squeeze the cover latch, lower the cover until closed, and release the latch. During cooking the signal light will cycle on and off.
CAUTION! As with any waffle maker, steam escapes during cooking. Keep hands and face away from steam to prevent steam burns.
Take extra care when opening the waffle bowl maker as hot steam may escape near the latch and could cause burns.
6. Set a timer to the desired time. See the recipes on pages 4 and 5 for recommended cooking times. Most waffle bowls will cook in
3½ to 4½ minutes. Waffle bowl is done when the unit stops emitting steam.
7. Check the waffle bowl at 3½ minutes to see if it is golden brown. If additional browning is desired, cook an additional 30 seconds
to 1 minute. When cooking is complete, use a fork to carefully spear the interior of the waffle bowl and lift it from the grids, making
sure you don’t scratch the nonstick surface.
8. Repeat steps 4 through 7 for additional waffle bowls.
9. Fill waffle bowls with desired ingredients.
10. Unplug waffle bowl maker when cooking is completed.

Care, Cleaning, and Storage
1. Unplug unit and allow to cool completely before cleaning. Never immerse waffle bowl maker in water or other liquid or wash in a
dishwasher.
2. Brush any loose crumbs from the waffle grids. Then wipe the grids with a paper towel or cloth.
3. Should any batter become baked onto the grids or the outside of the unit, pour a small amount of cooking oil onto the batter. Allow
oil to sit a few minutes to soften batter and then wipe off with a paper towel or cloth.
4. Wipe the outside of the waffle bowl maker with a damp cloth. Do not use steel wool scouring pads or abrasive kitchen cleaners on
the unit.
Questions and Answers
Can I use waffle mixes?
Yes, packaged waffle mixes may be prepared and then baked in the PrestoBelgian Waffle Bowl Maker. Batter made from some packaged
mixes may have a shorter baking time. Be sure to check for doneness after 3½ minutes.
Is it okay to prepare my own waffle recipes?
Yes, you can use your own waffle recipes or any of the recipes on pages 4 and 5.
Should I regularly apply vegetable oil to the grids?
Because the grids are covered with a nonstick coating, there will be only an occasional need to apply vegetable oil. If you find it dif-
ficult to remove a waffle bowl, apply a light coating of cooking oil to the grids before your next use. No-stick cooking sprays are not
recommended as they may leave a tacky residue. In addition, the waffle bowl may have a mottled appearance instead of the even brown
appearance as when using cooking oil.
Can I make cake bowls? If so, how?
If desired, plain cake mixes (avoid those containing nuts, candy chips, sprinkles, etc., as they may scorch) may be prepared and then
baked in the PrestoBelgian Waffle Bowl Maker. Fill the bottom grid with batter to the fill lines. Bake for approximately 3½ minutes.
Carefully remove the cake bowl because it will be pliable. Invert cake bowl over upside down custard cup for 2 to 3 minutes to firm the
bowl shape. Cake bowls make great desserts. Fill them with fresh fruit, whipped topping, pudding, ice cream and more.
How can I make bread bowls in the waffle bowl maker?
Yeast breads and frozen bread dough may be baked in the PrestoBelgian Waffle Bowl Maker, if desired. However, avoid sweet roll
yeast breads, such as cinnamon and caramel rolls, as they may scorch. If using frozen dough, thaw and allow to rise according to package
directions before baking. Form dough into approximately a 2½-inch ball (approximately 4 ounces) and place into the center of the waffle
bowl maker. Dough should be about to the fill line. Close the cover and bake for 1 to 1½ minutes. Add a pat of butter to your bread bowl
and sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar, or spread with peanut butter and jelly, or serve with a small ladle of chili or stew.
I want to make several waffle bowls in advance. How can I still serve them hot and crisp?
Keep waffle bowls warm and crisp until serving by placing them in a single layer directly on a rack in a 200° oven.
Is there a way to keep leftover waffles bowls for later use?
If you have leftover waffle bowls, freeze them. Cool extra waffle bowls to room temperature. Place them between layers of waxed paper
in a resealable plastic freezer bag and freeze for up to 1 month. When ready to serve, reheat in the waffle bowl maker. Preheat unit and
then reheat waffle bowl for approximately 4 minutes. If you prefer, reheat the waffle bowls in an oven at 350° for about 10 minutes.
I often eat on the run; how do I make a fold-and-go waffle and what can I fill it with?
After cooking a waffle bowl, carefully remove it from the grids and fill it with the desired ingredients, such as two cooked scrambled
eggs. Then fold it in half for an egg sandwich. You can also make a waffle taco. Fill waffle bowl with grilled or crispy chicken tenders,
lettuce, and Dijon-style mustard. Fold it in half for lunch on the run.
Suggested Waffle Bowl Fillings
The filling possibilities are endless. Here are just a few ideas to get you started...
♦Syrup and butter for a traditional-tasting waffle.
♦Your favorite fresh fruit.
♦Yogurt, fresh fruit, and granola for a sweet parfait.
♦Scrambled eggs, ham, bacon, sausage, hash browns and
more for hearty breakfasts.

strawberry shortcake waffle treat.
