USING YOUR EXPRESS MINI CUPCAKE MAKER
Before first use, remove all packaging material and thoroughly clean your Express Mini Cupcake Maker.
DO NOT touch the Cooking Surface, Easy-lift Tray surface, or Cover while the appliance is in use.
DO NOT lift the Cover so that your arm is over the Cooking Surface as it is hot and may cause injury.
Always lift and lower the Cover by the Cover Handle. Lift from the side.
Note: Always remove the Easy-lift Tray using the Silicone Handles.
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD: The removable Silicone Handles on the Easy-lift Tray can pose a choking hazard if swallowed. Do not allow children to play with the Mini Cupcake Maker.
1. Place the appliance on a stable and dry surface. Lay your Easy-lift Tray with Silicone Handles on top of the bottom Cooking Surface. Plug the cord into a power outlet. The Indicator Light (Photo A) will illuminate, signaling that the Mini Cupcake Maker is heating up.
2. Once the Cooking Surface reaches the optimal cooking temperature, the Indicator Light will automatically shut off. You can now carefully lift the Cover by the Cover Handle and spray both Cooking Surfaces with a small amount of non-aerosol cooking oil. Make sure each Built-in Cupcake Mold is properly lubricated (Photo B).
Aerosol cooking sprays often contain additives that can cause nonstick surfaces to become sticky and hard to clean over time. To ensure the longevity of your product, use a spray bottle and a neutral oil (vegetable, canola, etc.) to lubricate cooking surfaces.
3. Pour 1 tbsp of batter into each Cupcake Mold on the Bottom Cooking Surface (photo C).
CHEF TIP: Use the Dash SuperSqueeze™ Batter Bottle or a Piping Bag for added precision!
4. Once the cupcakes are cooked to your preference, remove them from the bottom Cooking Surface using the Silicone Handles on the Easy-lift Tray (photo D).
NOTE: Do not use the metal utensils to remove or place food on the Cooking Surface as this will damage the nonstick surface.
5. Carefully flip the Easy-lift tray to release your mini cupcakes. Use caution to not touch the surface of the Easy-lift Tray (Photo E).
6. When you have finished cooking, unplug your Mini Cupcake Maker and allow it to cool before moving or cleaning (Photo F).
NOTE: Use extreme caution when lifting the Easy-lift Tray as it is extremely hot. Always lift by the Silicone Handles to prevent injury.
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
- Unplug your Mini Cupcake Maker and allow it to cool completely before moving, cleaning or storing.
- To prevent buildup of food or oil, clean the appliance after each use. Using a damp, soapy cloth, wipe down the Cooking Surface, Cupcake Molds, and Cover. Thoroughly rinse the cloth and wipe again.
