Learn how to use the Dash MultiMaker Family Mini Maker System to whip up quick, fun snacks for the whole family with its versatile removable plates.
Quick answer
Use the Dash MultiMaker Family Mini Maker System with its interchangeable plates to make quick snacks like mini waffles, griddled eggs, or sausage bites in minutes.
Why the MultiMaker works for snacks
The MultiMaker’s removable plates let you switch between Classic Waffle Plates and Mini Griddle Plates, so you can make sweet or savory snacks without needing multiple appliances. This is especially handy for after-school treats or last-minute party bites.
One trade-off: the plates are small, so you’ll cook in batches for a crowd. But the quick heating and easy release make each batch fast, and cleanup is simple with nonstick surfaces.
Steps to make snacks with the MultiMaker
- Choose and attach the right plate: Select the Classic Waffle Plates for sweet snacks like mini waffles with fruit or chocolate chips, or the Mini Griddle Plates for savory items like mini grilled cheese or egg bites. Press the plate onto the base until it clicks. Make sure the plate is locked in place before plugging in to avoid uneven cooking.
- Preheat and prepare your batter: Plug in the MultiMaker and let it heat for about 3-5 minutes until the indicator light shows ready. While it heats, mix a simple waffle batter (flour, egg, milk, baking powder) or prep ingredients like shredded cheese and diced ham for griddle snacks. Don’t overfill the plates—use about 2 tablespoons per mini waffle or a thin layer for griddle items to prevent overflow.
- Cook and release the snacks: Pour or place the batter/food onto the hot plate. Close the lid and cook for 2-4 minutes, checking for golden color. Use a silicone spatula to gently lift the snacks—never metal, which can scratch the nonstick surface. If the snack sticks, let it cook 30 more seconds; undercooking is the most common cause of sticking.
- Serve and repeat for more batches: Transfer finished snacks to a plate and keep warm in a low oven. Repeat with remaining batter or switch plates for a different snack type. Clean the plates by wiping with a damp cloth after they cool. Unplug and let the plates cool fully before removing for cleaning to avoid burns.
