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.
