Pizzelle Maker- Non-Stick Electric Baker Press Makes Two 5-Inch Cookies at Once, Even Heating Plates- Must Have Party Baking Supplies- Italian Dessert Treat Making with Recipe Guide- Gift for Her

Love this for Pizzelle and making ice cream cones. Easy to use and works as advertised.

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.

I remember my grandmother making pizzelles, and I wanted to try. I ordered this machine after reading A LOT of reviews of cheaper options. I'm really glad I went with this one. It is great. Thin, crispy cookies! The inconsistencies in my photo are all me - figuring out how much batter and cook time. Machine is awesome!!! No sticking, no burning, made nice sized cookies.

Just tried it. Used Lidia’s recipe. Experimented with cooking times. Looks like heating not even as they are coming out with dark and light areas. Time will tell. Light should’ve been located above handle. Nothing in instructions explaining colored lights.

This pizzelle iron is amazing! It heats up quickly and cooks evenly every time. In about 45 seconds, the pizzelles come out perfectly cooked with consistent results. Easy to use and great quality—I’m very happy with this purchase! Not to mention cleans super easy!

I grew up on Pizzelle cookies. My family had a recipe passed down from an aunt from Europe for lemon Pizzelles and we used an old fashioned stove-top iron. When electrics came out I eventually got one just like this. I soon bought one for my father as well. I lost mine during a divorce and replaced it with one that made 3 small cookies at a time. That design was inferior because it is impossible to get equal cookies unless they are lined up equal distance from the hinge. That is the key. That 3rd position being further away would always cook differently. No one makes one like that so 2-up like THIS is the way to go. One-up takes too long. You will probably want to eat more of these than you realize and twice as fast is better. I have used both the non-stick and regular surfaces of these and never had a problem with sticking in either case but I chose the non-stick this time anyway. Our original stove-top iron intermittently had trouble with sticking, never a problem with these electrics. If you like Pizzelle cookies I highly recommend this 2-up electric style maker. Having experienced this product made 40 years ago and within the last year they are still as solid and reliable as ever.

This year for my annual Christmas neighborhood baking gifts, I decided to try pizzelles. I grew up next to a wonderful Italian woman who made them and long after her passing, I wanted to try and recreate them. First thing was watching 50 million YouTube videos and doing online research on batters. Then it was "which machine to buy." I settled on the stainless steel version of the CucinaPro Pizzelle maker. It arrived on the day promised and the box was in good shape. I made the first batch and failed due to operator error in reading the recipe. Made a second batch and succeeded even though I again misread the recipe. (DUH!!) Then the horror began. I made the batter correctly and followed the cooking instructions for the machine. The pizzelles came out great. It took some time to dial in the timing of the cooking (about 1min 12 seconds for me) but they came out perfectly. And like an addictive drug, I began eating them. I gave some to friends. They became addicted. Please Lord, ban this device that works so well in helping cause addictions to pizzelles!! For the record, once you figure out the cooking time, the placement of the batter (a cookie scoop works better than spoons if nothing else for consistency of the amount of batter,) this little machine works great. It is a joy to use. It cleans easily and there are no real issues with the machine. Except it may make you a pizzelle addict........

Great size and easy to use

Fácil de usar, diseño lindo, Excelente marca, la amo

They sell electronics in countries where the product cannot work. They think this is a perfectly OK practice. This should certainly be regulated by Amazon. If an electronic has wiring for a different country - guess what - it doesn't plug in and it can't work - not that tough to understand.

El producto tardó 1 mes en llegar. Y luego de la espera resultó que el cable no es del voltaje necesario para uso en España. No había ninguna indicación en la descripción y asumí que al ser comprado en la página de Amazon España sería un producto apto para uso en España. Lo cual no fue así. Lamentable.

I bought this after talking to a friend about pizzelle. I love the taste of them and decided to buy this item with an Amazon gift certificate that I was sent. It's a great little unit and the recipe booklet was easy to follow and the recipe that I used tasted great. I made both the plain cookies and rolls that I tried filled with cream. The unit was very easy to use and clean. I had no issues with the pizzelle sticking to the surfaces.

Works great, no sticking. Made a flat cookie type, burrito shape & cannoli shape. Easy, fun & a great product!!
