Product Description

Amazon.com Review

The Scandinavian version of Italian pizzelle, krumkakes are light, crisp, cone-shaped cookies served either sprinkled with sugar or filled with whipped cream. This hinged iron makes them the traditional way. Lay the iron's holder over either a gas or electric stovetop burner. Preheat the iron in the holder, then spoon a little krumkake batter on the bottom half of the iron. Close the iron gently and cook briefly, then turn the iron over and cook for a few more seconds. Finally, remove the cookie and shape it around the wood rolling cone while it's still pliable. This iron has the solid, practical feel of an Old World tool, before push buttons took away much of the fun and satisfaction of creating something wonderful with patience and a little skill. --Fred Brack

5.0 out of 5 stars Very rewarding!, July 20, 2000

My husband bought this for me as an anniversary present (I have been wanting one for ages)! I absolutely love it. Even though it is time intensive, standing at the stove, you get rewarding results! The wooden handle prevents you from getting any burns; just make sure you don't touch the other handle--ouch! Unlike a waffle iron, you don't need to grease the krumkake iron. It seasons itself during the first use! I would recommend this product to anyone who loves good, old-fashioned taste and who doesn't mind spending a couple of hours achieving it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Memories of childhood, July 14, 2000

This review is from: Nordic Ware Norwegian Krumkake Iron (Kitchen)

This is one of my best Christmas memories, making Krumkake with my Mom. It does take a while since each cookie is made individually. However, it is totally worth the wait. The cookies are crisp and sweet. I would much rather make them using the stove top method and not the new electric krumkake makers. I remember concentrating on getting them just the right amount of done... with my Mom watching. We would listen to Christmas music and talk as we worked. I guess some memories should not be messed with!

Take it from a Norwegian, avoid this product at all costs if you are seeking a real krumkake iron. It is not a solid cast iron device. Look elsewhere for quality.
