Pizzelle Maker- Nonstick Electric Baker Press Makes Two 5-Inch Cookies at Once- Recipe Guide Included- Fun Baking Supplies for Party- Italian Dessert Treat Making Made Easy- Housewarming Gift for Her

This pizzelle maker worked perfectly the first time. The instructions were easy to follow and the cookies turned out well from the start. The pizzelle maker maintained the correct temperature which produced consistent uniformed cookies. They did not stick to the grill and did not require greasing the grill each time.I have used this maker a half dozen times now and am very pleased with the quality. I would recommend this brand to others.

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........

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.

This machine would be perfect if you were able to adjust cooking level. The timer is off if you’re making your pizzelles with oil. They come out too dark, almost burnt. It might be right if you’re making the pizzelles with butter. I had to adjust my time & time them with my cell phone. Otherwise, I had no sticking, the pizzelles came out nice & thin. The machine was easy to clean.

My husband absolutely loves this machine! He has made pizelles multiple times now, and they are delicious. The batter doesn't always fill completely to the edges, and sometimes it goes past the edge, resulting in an imperfect shape. But that surely doesn't affect the taste! It's all about consistency in the sizes of your scoops of batter.

Works great! Love these cookies, but they are soooooo expensive to buy pre-made! Now I can come up with my own creations, even better than what's at the store. Easy to make, just need to keep an eye on time so you don't burn the cookies. Box comes with a recipe inside.Even heating and easy cleanup! I used it on top of a lined cookie sheet just in case of any spillover, but it wasn't even needed. Take the cookies out just as they start to turn color, they are soft when hot but then get crispy when they cool. So yummy!

The item arrived quickly and is exactly what was described. I was so excited to make the pizzelles, and this iron worked perfectly. Have made two batches in 10 days! I love this item!
