Before using your Wafe Stick Maker for the rst time, remove any packaging material
and promotional labels. You may wish to keep the packaging for future use.

Check that the cooking plates are clean and free of manufacturing dust, by wiping
each mould with a slightly damp soft cloth.
Wipe the outside of your Wafe Stick Maker with a slightly damp soft cloth.

Using your Waffle Stick Maker
Caution: The surface of your Wafe Stick Maker will become hot, so exercise
caution. Steam may escape during cooking and when lifting the lid. This is normal,
but take care. Use oven gloves to open and close the lid.
1. Pre-heat your Wafe Stick Maker. The orange light will illuminate immediately.
When the green light illuminates (allow 2-3 minutes), your Wafe Stick Maker
is ready to use. The green light will cycle on and off as the unit maintains
baking temperatures.
2. For best results, lightly coat the plates with vegetable oil using a pastry brush.
Brush the plates before cooking each batch of wafes; this will aid the removal
of the wafes. Add 1 measuring cup (which is provided) of batter to the moulds
and spread slightly with a knife to ll the entire shape. Taking care not to scratch
the non-stick coating. It is important not to overll, as the mixture will expand
when baked. Just ensure there is enough wafe batter to ll the base of the plates,
this way you will get a good sized well risen wafe stick.
3. Close the lid and secure the latch.
4. Cook the wafes for approximately 2 minutes. During cooking steam will escape,
when the wafes stop steaming this is a good indicator that they are ready.
5. Open the latch and lift the lid gently, if it pulls slightly they are not ready, continue
the cook for 30 seconds and test again. The wafe should be golden and crispy,
if necessary close the lid again and continue cooking for 30 seconds at a time.
Use a heatproof plastic or wooden spatula to remove the wafes. To keep wafe
sticks crispy, put them in a pre-heated oven directly on the racks, at 90-120ºC
for up to 20 minutes
6. If additional wafes are to be baked, wipe the cooking plate clean with a dry cloth
or kitchen paper to remove any residue, and repeat the process above. Wafes may
bake faster as extra heat has been retained, so it may be necessary to reduce
the cooking time.
7. When all the wafes have been baked, unplug the machine and leave to cool
completely before cleaning.

Waffle Baking Tips
• Do not open the Wafe Stick Maker during the rst minute of baking or the wafes
will separate. Completely bake the wafes before removing.
• When the wafes are done, the top lid should lift easily. Lift the lid gently; if it pulls,
continue cooking for 30 seconds and test again.
• When preparing the wafe batter, do not over-mix or the wafes will be tough.
Stir the batter only until the large lumps of dry ingredients disappear.
• The optimal amount of batter to produce a full shaped wafe, without overowing,
will vary with different wafe batters.
• For more evenly shaped wafes; spread thick batters to the outer edge of the moulds
using a knife before closing the lid, but do take extra care not to scratch the premium
non-stick coating on the plates.
• To retain crispness, cool the wafes on a wire rack.
• To keep wafes hot and crispy, place them directly on the racks in the oven
at between 90-120°C, these will keep for about 20 minutes before they begin
to dry out. This is especially good if you want to serve all the wafe sticks at once
for a party.
• Cooled wafes and be re-warmed and crisped up by popping them into a toaster
on the lowest setting, or by returning them to the hot wafe maker. Place them back
in the wafe maker on the lower cooking plate to match the moulds and heat
for 1-2 minutes, taking care not to burn them.
• Cooked wafes freeze well, rstly cool them completely on a wire rack and store
them in a plastic freezer bag, separate each wafe with a piece of baking
parchment. Frozen wafes can be re-heated in the oven or toaster until
hot and crisp.

Recipes
Fresh crispy wafes take no time at all to cook, and are so much tastier than the shop
bought variety. Your Wafe Stick Maker will make six wafe sticks for a fun breakfast
or quick dessert. They would also make a great treat for a birthday party or celebration.
You can experiment with different ingredients and add your favourite avours.
The following recipes use plain our as a standard, but they can be made with a mixture
of plain our and wholemeal our or spelt our for extra avour and more added bre
to the diet.
Wafe sticks are fab for dipping into yummy sauces, all the recipes in this section
have an accompanying dipping sauce, but you can mix and match to whatever
you fancy. If you just require wafes with no dipping sauce you can serve them drizzled
with syrup or served with ice-cream, the choice is yours.
