Crisp, sweet, and decoratively imprinted, pizzelle cookies make a wonderful holiday gift--as does the press itself. To use, simply scoop a spoonful of batter on each round nonstick surface of the press, close and latch the lid, and in only 60 seconds two perfect pizzelle are ready. Roll the warm pizzelle around the included wooden dowel to make cannoli, or shape over an inverted custard cup to make a tiny dessert bowl. Pizzelle harden as they cool, and can be eaten flat like crisp cookies or shaped and filled with chocolate mousse, whipped cream, or fruit. A five-setting switch on the press adjusts the temperature for browning preference, and recipes in the instruction booklet offer variations on flavors. A measuring spoon is included. Red and green lights indicate readiness, and a quick reheat time means three dozen of these four-inch cookies can be cooked in no time. The press measures 9 by 8 by 4 inches, is easily wiped clean, stores upright to save space, and comes with a three-year warranty against defects. --Ann Bieri

Product Description

Cuisinart engineering simplifies the art of baking the perfect pizzelle. The Cuisinart Pizzelle Press makes two thin, crisp 4-inch cookies at once. Dual indicator lights provide easy operation and take the guesswork out of timing. Pizzelle can be baked at one of 5 browning levels. Nonstick plates allow you to remove warm pizzelle without breaking them, so they can be rolled for cannolis or cones. Plates wipe clean with a damp cloth, and the unit stands up for compact storage.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect Pizzelles! December 23, 2002

By J. Davis

This is exactly what I was looking for. It works great and I was making perfect pizzelles in no time at all. I pulled it out of the box, mixed up some batter with the including instruction book and I had pizzelles! They tasted great! The iron heated up quickly and held the temperature constant throughout. The instruction book has recipes for regular vanilla pizzelles and anise ones as well as a chocolate version and another fancier one. I only tried the basic one so far because that what we like but the recipe is easy to follow. I just dumped all the ingredients together and a baking I was. This product was everything I expected and more. You can only make 2 at a time but they go so quickly I had dozens made in no time at all. I was worried when I bought this since it was the cheapest one Amazon had but I didn't want to spend the extra money and I'm glad I didn't. This is a really great product and I can't think of anything I didn't like about it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cuisinart Pizzelle Press March 18, 2005

By Mrs. Romano

Perfect Pizzelles! This is a great pizzelle maker and you can't beat the price. It heats quickly and evenly, the nonstick surface is easy to clean and you can store it upright to save space. It also has several settings so you can make them lighter or darker. The nonstick surface is great, all you really need is a quick wipe with a wet paper towel, I am a maniac about cleaning so I also like to use a toothbrush to clean all the nooks and crannies in the press. Although it doesn't have an indicator tone, you can hear a soft click when the light is turning from green to red so you can multi task. The instruction book comes with several traditional recipes that you can mix up in minutes. Perfect for holidays or anytime you want a quick treat. Anise, vanilla and almond are my favorites, I have not tried it yet but I was thinking of making a batch with banana extract, I imagine you could pretty much use any extract. Highly recommended!

4.0 out of 5 stars Cuisinart Pizzelle Press May 20, 2005

I was very excited to receive my pizzelle press because it had taken about a month to receive it (holiday time), but when I did I absolutely loved using it. However, after the third time the little plastic latch that holds the press together when baking just broke off. So, now I have to kind of hold the handles tight while baking and it's a real pain. The press is made very well, but I can't figure why they would put such a chintzy plastic latch on it. We all know that chintzy plastic will eventually break. I don't think anything was said in the ad about the plastic latch, and I intend to contact Cuisinart about the problem.
