Thanks to Rodney!
For all of you folks who have lost the instructions and recipes that came
with your donut maker or who have purchesed one at a garage sale or elsewhere
and the instructions were gone, a reader (Thanks, A.B.!) has generously sent
them for your enlightenment and enjoyment:
How To Use:
1. Before first use, wash cooking surfaces with hot, sudsy water
and a soft sponge, dishcloth, or nylon mesh.
NEVER IMMERSE TOP COOKING SURFACE IN WATER.
2. Brush vegetable oil (or melted unsalted shortening) on cooking
surfaces. To best preserve non-stick coating, oil cooking surfaces
before each use and after cleaning.
3. Close your Donut Maker.
4. Plug cord into 120 volt wall outlet.
5. With your Donut Maker closed, preheat for 10 minutes.
6. After 10 minutes, raise cover and fill donut cavities to fill
line in a continuous circular motion around each donut ring until
all 6 donut cavities are full. You will find it easier to pour
the batter if you use a vessel with a spout. Do not overfill
donut cavities with batter.
7. After donut cavities are filled, close cover and bake according
to directions specified in the donut recipe. Generally, baking time
is 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 minutes.
8. A) Raise cover on back hinge.
B) Remove donuts with plastic spatula or small wooden utensil.
Sharp-edged cooking tools such as forks can damage the non-stick
coating. SPECIAL NOTE: When donuts are finished baking, simply
lift each donut out of cavity. If donuts do no lift out easily,
close cover for a few seconds longer.
C) To make another batch of donuts, brush oil on cooking surfaces,
then preheat your Donut Maker six or seven minutes. Always repeat
Step C before each new batch of donuts. It is necessary that you
keep your Donut Maker closed while baking donuts and during
preheating.
9. Your donuts are well baked when they are a light tan color on the
bottom and a golden brown on tope. If you desire a more browned bottom
half, turn donuts over so the bottom faces up. Close cover for one minute.
10. Should the top half of your donuts be light and not brown, you are
not filling the donut cavities with sufficient batter. Try adding a
little more batter to each donut cavity.
11. Should the bottom half of your donuts be too light, accompanied
with over-browning on the top, you may be overfilling the unit causing
the two cooking surfaces to part, or you may not be preheating long
enough.
