HELPFUL TIPS
NEVER leave the unit unattended while operating.
Smoking
During first use, you may notice slight smoking or a slight odor; this is normal
with most new appliances. The smoking and odor is caused by the residues
burning off the nonstick Cooking Plates and the Heating Element. Allow
the appliance to preheat until smoke and odor no longer exists.
Dispensing Batter
•
Churros batter will be slightly thicker than pancake batter. You may
pour, spoon or use a pastry bag to dispense batter into the wells
on the Lower Cooking Surface. (Pastry bag not included.)
•
Be careful not to overfill the wells with batter. Batter should be no
higher than the tops of the wells of the Lower Cooking Surface.
Seasoning Churros
Churros are traditionally coated with a mix of cinnamon and granulated sugar. However,
you may use your favorite combination of sugars and spices, including brown sugar,
powdered sugar, espresso powder, nutmeg and more. Be creative and have fun!
Use the following easy method for coating churros in your favorite sugar/spice mixture:
•
Place desired sugar/spice mixture in 1-gallon plastic resealable bag.
•
Place warm churros in bag and seal.
•
Shake to coat. Remove churros and enjoy.
Making Churros on a Stick
You may use bamboo or popsicle sticks to make churros on a
stick in your CHURROS MAKER™. (Sticks not included.) In order to
make churros on a stick, we recommend the following:
•
Fill preheated wells in Lower Cooking Surface with batter.
•
Place stick in center of batter, at least halfway through.
•
Align sticks with notches in Lower Cooking Surface.
•
Be sure to cover stick with batter to ensure the Churros fully
adhere to sticks and cook evenly.
