Tips & Tricks

Typically with waffle makers, you don't need oil for your non-stick plates, but if you're worried about the cheese sticking, just add a little oil with a basting brush. Don't use aerosol cooking oil as it can leave a residue on the cooking surface.

Once you get comfortable with making chaffels, you can start making fun variations! You can experiment with the types of cheese you use like parmesan or cream cheese (soft cheeses brown faster and need less cook time).
