FAQ

Q: What heat sources can I use with this cone maker?
A: It is designed for gas stovetops and can also be used carefully over a stable campfire or gas camping stove. It is not recommended for induction or electric glass cooktops.

Q: Do I need to use oil or butter?
A: The plates are non-stick, but a light brushing of oil or melted butter before the first batch can improve browning and release, especially with low-fat batters.

Q: How do I form the cone shape?
A: After cooking the flat round, quickly wrap it around a cone mold or gently roll it by hand while it is still warm and flexible. It will harden as it cools.

Q: How do I clean the cone maker?
A: Allow it to cool completely, then wipe the plates with a soft cloth or sponge and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners and do not immerse the handle in an open flame.
