Waffle Plates for Cuisinart Griddler GR-4N and GRID-8N Series (Not for Old Model GR-4 or GRID-8)

Product Information

Do not overfill the waffle maker – it should not be filled to the top of the waffle grid. Always use the provided measuring cup as a guide.

The lid hinge “floats,” so it can remain at the same angle to the bottom surface. While that hinge worked the way it was supposed to, we sometimes had to adjust it manually, particularly when cooking sandwiches. Audible Signal (not shown)– 5 beeps sound when waffle maker is ready to bake, and when waffle is fully cooked and ready to eat. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children or individuals with certain disabilities. Do not operate your appliance in an appliance garage or under a wall cabinet. When storing in an appliance garage, always unplug the unit from the electrical outlet. Not doing so could create a risk of fire, especially if the appliance touches the walls of the garage or the door touches the unit as it closes. The Cuisinart Griddler boasts the ability to work as an indoor grill, a griddle, and a panini press, but does it do all three jobs well? We used it to cook breakfast, lunch, and dinner, testing both the flat and ridged plates, and we enjoyed the results. While we’re not getting rid of our outdoor grill for cooking steaks on a sunny day, we appreciated the ease of using the Griddler, as well as the simple cleaning of the grill plates in the dishwasher. Read on for all the juicy details about this top-rated kitchen tool.Be certain grids have cooled completely before cleaning. If batter adheres to plates, simply pour a little cooking oil onto the bakedon batter and let stand for about 5 minutes. This will soften the batter for easy removal. Store properly: Store the waffle maker in a clean, dry place, away from excessive heat or humidity. If the waffle plates are removable, store them separately to prevent damage. NOTE: During baking, you may notice steam rising from the fill spout. This is normal and is actually necessary to produce the waffle's crispy exterior and moist interior. So, embrace the art of waffle making, unleash your creativity with toppings, and savor the deliciousness that awaits you with each delightful bite. Happy waffle-making! When the waffle is ready, the green light will turn on and 5 beeps will sound. Open the waffle maker by pressing the stay-cool latch on the side of the unit, and use the latch to carefully lower the front plate. BE CAREFUL not to touch the hot plate.

Adjust the temperature knob to the desired browning setting – select #1 for the lightest shade of waffle and #5 for the darkest shade. We recommend setting #3 for a golden brown waffle. Indicator Lights – Red indicator light signals power ON; green indicator light signals when waffle maker is ready to bake and when waffle is ready to eat.We appreciated the ease of using the Griddler, as well as the simple cleaning of the grill plates in the dishwasher. Cook the waffle: Cook the waffle for the recommended time, typically 3 to 5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Avoid opening the waffle maker prematurely, resulting in undercooked waffles. Baking time is determined by the browning level that you chose in Step 3. Normal baking time for Shade #3 is about 3 minutes, but depending on your waffle recipe, that may vary. Lighter shades take a little less time; darker shades a little more. A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Extension cords may be used if care is 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, and the longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or animals, or tripped over. Looking for an easy way to add your favorite flavors? Substitute a small amount of the flour for your favorite finely ground nuts (pecans, walnuts, almonds, etc.). Do you prefer sweet berries? Swirl up to ¼ cup of a fruit jam into the prepared waffle batter prior to cooking. Not only will the waffles taste delicious, but they will also have a beautiful color to them.
