Amazon.com Review
Pour a scoop of batter on the decorative, nonstick surface of this KrumKake maker, close the lid, and in only 60 seconds a perfect crepe-like cake is ready. Roll the warm cake around the included plastic form, and the cake hardens as it cools into a crisp cone. Children love the cones filled with softened ice cream, and adults will go nuts over fillings of chocolate mousse or whipped cream and fruit. Recipes in the instruction booklet offer Norwegian, Swedish, and German variations on krumkakes, so that cooks can choose between thick or delicate cakes. A numbered dial setting on the unit adjusts temperature to allow the cake color to range from golden to dark brown. Red and green lights indicate readiness, and a quick reheat time means 20 or more six-inch cakes can be cooked in a short amount of time. The unit is easily wiped clean, stores upright to save space, and comes with a one-year warranty against defects. --Ann Bieri

Forgotten taste of heaven,
By
This review is from: Chef's Choice 839 Krumkake Express (Kitchen)
Very good unit to make krumkakes. The recipes that ship with the unit are easy to make and taste excellent. In the weeks following the purchase of this krumkake maker I must have baked over 100 krumkakes and was never disappointed!
Pros: Looks and feels good. Makes cakes up to 6" in diameter and very thin. The barrocco ornament of the iron looks very pretty on the cake. Cons: To achieve the unified golden color of the cake must use temperature setting no higher than 3, otherwise they come out with patchy color. Because of this, each cake takes approx. 2 minutes to bake. I have not tried the VillaWare unit, which claims to bake two 5" krumkakes in 30 seconds, but if that's the case than it could be a better choice for someone who needs to accomodate a large party of people fast. Update 10/17/2008: Friend of mine has the VillaWare maker and she is very happy with it, since she can bake two at a time in about 30 sec. But I have tried her cakes and they don't nearly have that texture and firmness that Chef's Choice unit produces. Some of the difference could be attributed to the recipe variations, but the fast-baked VillaWare cakes just don't get that crispy yet firm sensation that I crave. Just my 2c.

Krumkake,

Makes thin krumkaker the way a Norwegian likes them.! The ability to select color intensity is very nice - but you need to know what to look for! Too hot iron will bake thin batter faster than you expect. First time use, pay attention, but then you are set. Very convenient, easy to clean. This iron has become my best friend, since I can serve delicious krumkaker in no time. Well worth the money.

KrumKake Express, Quick and easy to use!,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Chef's Choice 839 Krumkake Express (Kitchen)
My family is from Norway, so every christmas since I was little we all gathered in the kitchen to make Krumkake, but with the old handheld iron, the kind you put over the burner and guessed at how long it took, and burned your hands frequently. It was still fun, but thank goodness with technological advances comes the Krumkake Express! Still just as fun as the old fashioned one, and this time you can have perfect Krumkake every single time.
It comes with the roller of course, and the pattern on the iron itself is beautiful. It also comes with a recipe just in case you dont have one! We fill ours with sour cream and lingonberries, ice cream, lemon custard and just eat them plain! I have had mine now for almost 2 years and it still works perfectly.
