Most waffles can be made ahead of time and kept warm in a 200 F (90 C) oven. To store waffles, let them cool and then pack into an airtight container. Store in a refrigerator or freezer. Waffles can be reheated in a microwave oven or regular oven. Most waffles are done in about 3 to 6 minutes. Recipes made from scratch may take longer. Check for doneness after approximately 5 minutes or when the steaming stops. If the appliance does not open easily, allow waffles to cook for another minute before checking again.
