Make your own waffles with the Presto FlipSide Belgian Waffle Maker.

The Presto FlipSide Belgian Waffle Maker makes professional-style, extra-thick, fluffy waffles in just a few minutes. The iron flips 180 degrees to spread the waffle batter evenly across the grids and ensure even crisping on both sides of the waffle. The Presto FlipSide Waffle Maker also has a digital display timer that alerts you when your waffle is thoroughly cooked and ready to eat.

Step 1

Place the Presto FlipSide Belgian Waffle Maker on a flat surface, positioning the digital display towards you. Plug the AC cord into a power outlet and preheat the waffle maker in the closed position. The signal light will glow while the unit is preheating. It will take about 3 to 5 minutes for the waffle grids to preheat.

Step 4

Apply a light coat of cooking oil to the waffle grids. Spread the oil evenly over the grids with a brush or paper towel. Oil is not needed after every use and should be reapplied only as necessary.

Step 5

Pour 3/4 to 1 cup of waffle batter into the center of the bottom waffle grid.

Step 8

Cook the waffle for the set amount of time. The waffle maker will beep when the timer has expired. Carefully pull the waffle grids apart and check that your waffle is cooked through. Remove the waffle from the grids with a fork.

Tip

The digital timer requires a AAA battery. To install the battery, turn the unit upside down. Remove the battery compartment cover. Insert the battery into the compartment and replace the cover. Make sure that the unit is unplugged and completely cool before installing the battery.

The Presto FlipSide Belgian Waffle Maker may emit smoke or a slight odor during its first use. This is a normal occurrence caused by the manufacturing residue burning off. The smell or smoke will dissipate after initial use.
