Amazon.com Product Description

Enjoy recreating a beloved Scandinavian tradition with help from this seven-piece rosette/timbale set. A remarkably simple way to prepare a host of beautiful, flaky desserts and appetizers, the set includes six sturdy cast-aluminum molds, as well as a two-pronged cast-aluminum lifting tool, whose stay-cool wooden handle offers a safe way to dip pastries into hot oil without the danger of burns or spatters. Three of the molds sport classic rosette shapes, which produce intricately detailed and delicately crispy fried cookies that can be dusted with powdered sugar to mouthwatering results. The remaining three timbale molds--which resemble miniature tartlet pans--come in heart, square, and circle shapes, and they can be used to make buttery shells for filling with vegetables or meat, fruit and cream, and a host of other sweet or savory ingredients. A wonderful delicacy to enjoy with friends and family over the holidays, the finished rosettes and timbales also make fitting additions to spring luncheons, summer baby showers, or anytime at all. Recipes and instructions come included. The rosette/timbale set measures approximately 4-4/5 by 9 by 3 inches and should be hand-washed for best results.

Made a double batch of rosettes last night, and it went fairly smoothly. There is more of a problem with the batter falling off the irons than I've had using my in-laws' [perhaps twenty years old] Norpro irons, but I managed. It's true these are cast aluminum instead of iron, but I had more luck with batter sticking when they weren't as hot, so I think the problem has more to do with surface finish than material choice.

I do think I'll make replacement handles for them with a piece of word and some lag bolts from the hardware store. The double iron thing is kind of a pain for dipping, and I've got some blistered knuckles where I got too close to the pan as the handle's a little on the short side. Additionally, a little notch in the wood would be awesome for perching the handle on the side of the pan while you're dipping the next one...

I bought these because the description says they are cast iron. They are NOT cast iron. They are aluminum. I even had my materials scientist husband look at them and he confirmed they were not cast iron. The reason why it is better to have cast iron is because the iron holds the heat better when you are heating the irons in the oil and when you dip them in the batter the batter will cook onto the iron because it is so hot. Because these were aluminum when dipping the iron into the batter, the batter didn't stick as well because it was not as hot. Hence, very thin pretzels.

I tried these anyway. They were ok, but cast iron ones are better.
