It’s very easy to use and clean.
1. Prep: pre-heat The Keyboard Waffle Iron on any stove, grill, or other cooking surface. Coat lightly with a non-stick cooking spray.
2. Pour: add in your favorite batter recipe (or use a boxed pancake mix). Close the lid and allow the batter to cook for 2-3 minutes.
3. Flip: flip The Keyboard Waffle Iron over to cook the other side for an additional 1-2 minutes. Inside your waffle iron, heat transfer technology transfers your stove’s heat into the waffle, changing the gooey liquid batter into a crispy, flaky waffle. It’s like we took the bread-altering magic of toasters and made it even more magic, because waffles are better than toast.
4. EAT!
