Product Description

Amazon.com Review

This nonstick pizzelle maker looks and works like a waffle iron--pour the batter onto the flowery grid, close the lid and clamp the handles together, wait 30 seconds, and you have a fresh, fragrant Italian cookie. Just dust with powdered sugar and eat. You can also roll just-off-the-griddle pizzelles into cones and fill with ice cream or custard. The machine's tubular heating elements ensure that it provides even heating, and the automatic thermostat and indicator light signal when it's ready to go. The chrome housing and steam guard are nice safety features. To get you started, the baker comes with recipes and hints. --Dana Van Nest

5.0 out of 5 stars Works very nice, January 13, 2002

The works great! We have used it for a couple of weeks now and we haven't had any trouble. Our old one that was made by a different company wasn't very durable and was pain to deal with. However this is very easy to setup. Just plug it in and start mixing the batter. Then spoon about 1/2 to 3/4 a tablespoon onto the iron and lightly press down. After about 35-45 seconds, lift the iron and pullout the pizzelles. It takes a little time to get good at it, but once you get good, they'll become your favorite snack! It comes with a recipe book too!

My wife and I bought this item over a year ago, and I have to say, it's done it's job really well.

Pizzelles were one thing my wife enjoyed from her childhood, as her mom made them, and when we got married, I hadn't really tried them. Her mother had some made on a visit, I loved them, so we had to get this maker.

It works great, doesn't have a lot of runoff (due to the shape of the baking area), and the shape / patterns on the iron make for some visually appealing pizzelles as well. A definite plus in the kitchen to have!

5.0 out of 5 stars I'm Italian, Trust me, it's a great pizzelle iron!, March 1, 2006

Okay, I grew up eating my families pizzelles, so I consider myself an expert on how they should look, feel and taste! We have a guarded secret recipe that is only passed down generation to generation. Everyone that has ever had my families pizzelles, has said that they have just tasted heaven!

Now, for this iron, I highly recommend it! It heats up so quick, has the indicator light and their not lying to you when they say 30 seconds for 2 pizzelles! And it does come with a recipe book, there's one in there that is very close to ours, it's by an italian lady, so I would follow her recipe. Use Anise oil in your batter!!!

1st thing, before you even plug it in, rub the iron down with vegetable or olive oil, trust me. For cleaning, it's so easy, just wipe it down with a paper towel. DO NOT PUT IN DISHWASHER, I don't care what the manual says!! You don't need to remove the grates, while it's cooling down and you've unplugged, simply wipe it down with a paper towel, that's it!! Folds great for storage on the counter or cupboard.

I have tried many irons, and this one is the best. After I bought it, my Mom and Mommom ordered the same. 3 generations can't be wrong!
