Storage Tips
At room temperature. For best results with food safety, we recommend that you do not keep your air-fried waffles at room temperature any longer than two hours. After that, they should be stored or thrown away.
In the fridge. If you have any leftover air-fried waffles that you would like to keep for later, you can transfer them to an airtight container or save them in a plastic storage bag. Then place them into the fridge for up to 3 to 4 days.

We do recommend that you flip the waffle halfway through the reheating time.
In the oven. If you have a lot of leftover waffles, you can also reheat them in the oven.
To do this you want to place them on a cookie sheet, then preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C). Once it is reheated add your waffles into the oven and bake for approximately 5 to 10 minutes or until the waffles are warm.
In the toaster. You can also reheat your leftover frozen waffles in the toaster if desired.
Depending on your toaster, you may have to put it through a few cycles until it gets warmed through. Keep in mind that you do not want it to burn on the outside while still being cold on the inside.
