Pizzelle Maker, Non-Stick Electric Baker Press, Makes Two 5-Inch Cookies

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.

Great quality, inexpensive, I use it all the time to bake and mail pizzelles to my grands. These cookies stay fresh in baggies, travel well in a used Amazon or other small box with some tissue paper. They stay fresh for at least 3 weeks, so no stress over postal delay. A cheap, easy way to let family/friends know you care. Takes less time than buying a card and requires some $5 per large batch, takes minutes to complete.

I was a little concerned about not having a teflon surface, but I'm trying to avoid that stuff. This doesn't have that, but the pizzelles still release perfectly. Highly recommend!

Heats up quick, easy to use, cooks evenly,good value. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is I'm struggling to find the right amount of dough to drop in middle of plate. I've tried a 1 inch, 1 1/2 and a 2 tbls n it either was to small or was coming out the sides. 😞 Could someone using this item tell me how much they are using? They come out crisp but they aren't true to the design like it's supposed to be. Thanks

Perfect. Oiled for the first one and none of them stuck. Have used many times with no issues. Good quality and it feels like it will last a long time.

Ordered to replace no stick coated one on the advice of a professional baker. This one makes all the difference making pizzelles. Easy to clean and store

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

Pretty even heating for the pizzelles! It's hard to find a good pizzelle maker and was very hard not being able to still use the original ones that came from family, but this one is amazing! I am very happy with it... Especially considering I make so many each holiday!

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.

Got this machine right before christmas in the silver. It worked great, my pizzelles were nice and thin, none of them stuck to the pan and cooked to perfection. I was very happy with this item, I had looked at ones that were more expensive but decided to try this one as it was on sale at the time for a really good price and had great reviews. I was not disappointed at all. I did not use the recipe it came with since I had a recipe from years ago that I liked. I clipped the handle down every time, this will keep them from puffing up to much. Highly recommend this pizzelle maker!
