And the color control adjusts for either baking setting to give you a toasty, brown exterior and
the interior texture you want.
The Quad baking system on the WafflePro works this way. The "Crisp Exterior/Moist Interior"
® ®
setting gives you a fast bake while the "Uniform Texture" setting gives a slow deep bake. The
Color Control setting controls the surface temperature of the waffle and determines its color.
To get a crisp exterior with a contrasting steamy aromatic interior, you need a waffle iron with a
fast bake. The WafflePro is unique among all waffle makers in its ability to cook rapidly enough
®
to create this delectable combination.
waffle ingredientS and teChniqueS
Sugar in waffle batter enhances the browning of the waffle especially on the surface where
the temperatures are highest. If your diet permits, a small amount of sugar can do wonders for
the waffles.
Cornmeal in waffle batter adds extra crunch. Only a few tablespoons are needed to add texture.
Butter and oil enhance flavor and can increase the darkening of the waffle. But, too much of
these liquids inhibits surface browning.
Eggs add their own flavor to the mix and importantly they reduce the tendency of waffles to "split".
The consistency of your batter will effect the end result. A slightly thick batter, one that pours
slowly, some say like slow moving lava, works the best. If the batter pours freely, add more flour
to thicken.
Regardless of the recipe, the WafflePro works best with a level / cup of batter. This amount

fills the waffle iron without risk of overflow. Use a pitcher, a measuring cup or ladle to pour batter
onto the WafflePro grids.

When making waffle batter, add milk slowly and mix with a power mixer or by hand until the
right consistency is reached. Blend just until the desired consistency is reached. You may not
need to use all of the milk or liquid called for in a recipe. If you add too much liquid, simply stir
in additional flour (or dry mix) to thicken the batter.
Some recipes may call for separating the eggs, beating the whites and folding them in at the
end of the mix. This step gives a slightly lighter waffle with a less uniform texture but it is not
essential. Whole eggs may be used.
Always preheat the WafflePro before adding the batter. Set the Color Control to 4 if you are just
®
getting started, otherwise set it to your own preference. Read the instructions beginning on Page
5 before making your first waffles.
Remember when the green light and beeper signal that the waffle is "Ready", you can briefly
lift the lid to check the degree of browning and, if desired, close the lid to bake the waffle for
another 20 to 30 seconds for more crispness.
Because the WafflePro heats so rapidly on the "Crisp Exterior/Moist Interior" setting, you will
®
be able to prepare waffles about as fast as they can be eaten. Waffles taste best "hot off the
griddle" but you might let them cool on a wire rack for 20 to 30 seconds before serving. This
gives the waffle a chance to release some steam and stiffen slightly. (If a waffle is placed directly
on a plate, the steam condenses under the waffle causing the crisp exterior to soften.)
