To prepare these waffles, simply remove them from their packaging. They can be heated in a toaster, toaster oven, or even a conventional oven until warm and slightly crisp. For a toaster, use a medium setting. In a toaster oven or conventional oven, a few minutes at a moderate temperature usually suffices. Avoid overheating, which can make them too hard. Once heated, they are ready to be dressed with your favorite toppings.
