UPDATE
Bought the kindle Cucina Pro Pizelle cookbook and tried the Crispy Chocolate puzelle recipe using country crock margarine and Pam spray. From my previous experience, I put the maker on a metal tray, sprayed top and bottom plates with Pam, you will find the oil will drip off the plates when you open and close, not to mention cookie crumbs. Plugged it in to heat up then used a tablespoon of batter in each cookie.
Success at last! Was able to remove cookies with spatula and place on cooling rack. This batter used eggs the previous one used flax eggs. This batter was fairly thick. Will try other recipes but not the flax egg one. Even the recipe I tried which makes 24 got tedious after awhile of timing each batch of cookies. I finally set Alexa to a 1 hour countdown on the Show. It took more like 50 seconds for my cookies. Whenever one stuck to the top or bottom plates, I took that as a sign to mean more Pam spray needed. I sprayed Pam on several times throughput the baking cycle of about 50 minutes. I got about 32 cookies out of this recipe, of varying sizes, so 24 probably accurate.
Should have made half the recipe that I decided to try - 5 cups of flour! I sprayed oil on the plates, let it heat up, first attempt, I had to muscle up to pull the plates apart, oh oh, it's stuck! Laboriously cleaned this after plugging out the plug and putting a slightly damp dish cloth in between the plates to soften up the stuck pizelle. Used cloth to try and wipe off, lots of crumbs everywhere. Then had to get a toothpick to clean every nitty gritty. I realized that this was going to take a long time.
I got out some baking trays, heated up the oven and dropped tablespoons of the batter on the trays and put in the oven. The first few got burned because I was so busy trying to clean this thing. Finally got it cleaned by which time I'd about halved the batter. Decided to really grease this thing with shortening. Shortening was in every groove. Heated it up, put in the batter, waited two minutes, same result. I plugged it out and put in the damp dish cloth again. This time I put it away and just concentrated on finishing up the cookies in the oven.
The next day in the late afternoon (you can tell I was dreading cleaning this) I took out the pizelle maker and decided to try a bottle brush on it. That was a lot faster! Rotating it got the damp stuff out of the grooves! I then used a straw brush to get out the really stubborn bits!
Not sure if I feel brave enough to test this again. Due to dairy allergies I used a vegan recipe, wonder if the non-dairy one that uses egg that I tried in the Dash griddle would work better in this maker? Will update if I try it again, but the time wasted trying to clean this is off putting, plus the fact that I didn't get any pizelles.

Reviewed in the United States on March 20, 2019
I did a lot of research on all of the pizzelle bakers on Amazon, as I wanted to know the pros and cons of each different unit. I purchased the CucinaPro pizzelle baker with the two cookie griddles for making 5 inch pizzelle cookies. It had the best reviews and everything in the description was spot on. It is very easy to use, takes only seconds to bake, and the pizzelles turned out nice and crispy. My pizzelle baker made 25 cookies, including the first two that you have to discard, so 23. It is my first time making home made pizzelles and I didn't understand why the two sides top and bottom were different in the baker. I understand now after making them. As it turns out, it creates both patterns in every pizzelle, front and back. I love that! The cookie images turned out clear and very beautiful. I used King Arthur brand gluten free (no xanthium gum) flour and they baked up perfectly. Do use real butter and pure extracts (not imitation), to get delicious results each time. I used a rounded Tablespoon to scoop the batter onto the baker using a small spoon (I used a disposable plastic spoon) to push out the batter from the TB to drop it onto the baker. So easy to do. The baker cleans easily, although nothing stuck to the griddle at all, so all I had to do was wipe it. For each use you want to lightly oil it using a pastry brush, because when it is hot and you open the lid, some oil will drip out, but it's not a big deal. I set parchment paper under it just in case, and it made no mess at all. The outside of the baker is very hot, so don't attempt to touch it while it is on, only the plastic handle while you are cooking. I didn't give the pizzelles a lot of seconds to cook, just until they began to look slightly golden, because I noticed that once they are set on the cooling rack they darken a tad bit, so no need to over-cook them. It's nice to be able to quickly check on them to see what degree of color they are. If they need more time, close it and clip it closed, and check again momentarily. The baked pizzelles slide off very easily and leave no crumbs in the griddle at all. When time came to store it, I allowed it to cool off, then wiped it with a paper towel, and stored it in its box. I am highly satisfied with my purchase. Everything about this pizzelle baker is perfect. I made the Anise flavored pizzelles. I also bought lemon, almond and vanilla extracts to try next. You will enjoy making pizzelles with the CucinaPro baker! Have fun! The above paragraph was my very first review of the Cucina Pro pizzelle press that I ordered. Since then, I have enjoyed making a gazillion varieties of delicious pizzelles! I have gifted so many to family and friends and I have gotten feedback on how beautiful and so delicious they are. I have also found a variety of ways to make them and decorate them. Family and friends are astonished at how beautiful they turned out. My 5 grand daughters visited with me this past weekend, and the older 4 and I sat at the table to make the pizzelles. The little one got to dip them half way in melted chocolate and decorate them. My granddaughters had it all down pat, and produced beautiful pizzelles. They even told me how long certain ones took to bake using a little timer. It was fantastic and they loved it! I know what to get my daughter for Christmas! As a result, I will be purchasing the ice cream cone roller and the cannoli tubes. I spread some chocolate ice cream over a vanilla/chocolate chip pizzolle, and omg just WOW!! It tasted out of this world!The Cucina Pro pizzette press is a fantastic product. I highly recommend this one to purchase.
