Piccolo Pizzelle Baker

thank you so much, you saved my day. I was into making Pizzelles and my press couldn't finish the cookies. ordered this one from Amazon and had it the next. saved the rest of the dough and everything was great. i love this press it does make great Pizzelles.

My first time making pizelles. This iron was amazing. I did not need to spray non stick .

We love to "sandwich" them together with all sorts of ingredients, such as caramel, honey, ice cream, ganache, almond butter, Nutella (hazelnut spread), marshmallow fluff & chopped nuts, raspberry preserves, peanut butter & boysenberry jam, cherry pie filling, pastry cream, etc, etc. Your creativity will be challenged! :-D A light sprinkling of confectioner's sugar/powered sugar, granulated sugar & cinnamon is great, as well. PIZZELLES are so "delicious" even when they are "plain janes" they are quite delectable! Be sure to use FRESH PREMIUM ingredients when you make them. If you do not consume all of them in a day...STORE in "airtight" containers for up to 7 days. *TIP: If they become a bit "soft' just place in a toaster oven. I prefer to use the "convection" oven because it blows hot dry air...it gives the pizzelles just the right "crisp" in just a few seconds. PROS: There is a recipe included with the Pizzelle maker...it's pretty good. The non-stick surface is great, but you will still need to lightly coat the surface with your favorite oil (I use PAM spray). There are plenty of recipes at the website(s): allrecipes.com & kingarthurflour.com CONS: This little gadget does not have a TEMPERATURE CONTROL button; therefore, you will have to really watch the pizzelles. They cook SUPER FAST! If you wait to long to check them...let's say about 30-45 sec....the pizzelles will burn! This is partially due...to the pizzelle batter being so thin (it is not like cooking waffles...it's sort of fast cooking like VERY VERY thin crepes The other reason is because you CAN NOT CONTROL THE TEMPERATURE! GOOD NEWS: Once you get the "timing" down...it's so easy to use! Have patience with the gadget and you'll MASTER it! I only burned 6 pizzelles before I got the timing PERFECTED.

This seems to be a good item, I used it for the first time today after I received it and it worked well. The instructions that come with it though are bad. I followed the recipe to do a vanilla pizzelle and it says to put a heaping tablespoon slightly off center of the center of the design. There are four designs on the pizzelle maker, so four heaping tablespoons... that is totally not right! The first batch was a super thick pancake that came out all the sides of the maker and was a disaster. They probably meant one heaping tablespoon divided between all four of the patterns but that's not what it said. Trial and error I figured about half a teaspoon per design. I'm not sure if it's normal but the recipe included is extremely thick and it is very hard to get a consistent amount onto the baking surface. I will try a few other recipes and see if they work better, I thought it would be a bit runnier of a consistency not like muffin batter. Overall though, it seems like a good pizzelle maker for someone who has never done it before. But better instructions would definitely have helped.

Great product but does take some time to figure out the best amount to use on each iron. I love the size of these for some many reasons. Snack bites, ice cream scoopers, and just plain fun

This is the third Pizzelle iron I have purchased. I was intrigued by this one because it made 4 pizzelle at a time. I would not recommend this iron due to terrible design and a safety flaw I cannot believe got past the designers. I want to first say that the product that this iron produces is what they advertise. You will get 4 pizzelle. That's great. My results were mixed to say the least. The pizzelle this iron did produce were not evenly baked. In fact, you can tell where the heating elements are because there are dark brown areas on the cookies while other areas will be lighter. This is my first iron that is not round and I am beginning to realize why almost all use circular patterns for heating. Next up is the bad lid design. When you push the lid down on the cookies, the way this iron closes will smoosh half of the batter or dough out of the pizzelle pattern and onto the flat part of the iron or out of the sides. I thought I was overfilling it. I was not. It did not matter how much or how little I added, whenever I closed the lid it would push a bunch of the batter off of the cookie pattern, wasting a lot of batter and leaving me with more work to clean up the cookies and the iron. The way you secure the lid is also so stupid I do not know how anyone thought this was a good idea. My other irons automatically click closed when you bring the iron down and to open you merely have to apply the slightest pressure to let you raise the lid. This iron has a free hanging metal loop that you have to manually slip over the handles to close and do the same to bring it back up. It is clunky and time consuming but brings upy biggest problem with this iron which is.... The metal hanging loop heats up when the iron is open and it's hanging down! How do I know this? Because it burned the crap out of my fingers when I went to close it again after I had been using it a while. Why would you design an iron where a piece of metal can hang down and heat up over the iron? Maybe these seem nitpicky because I know there are much better irons out there but I have to let people know that the hanging metal loop can burn you. Do not get this pizzelle iron. It does not heat evenly, it wastes batter, it is poorly designed and it is dangerous.

I have received a broken product and didn’t get my money back .. worst experience ever

Era el modelo que quería pero no viene con corriente para Europa.

This is a good product

Buscaba algo diferente y lo regrese. Me bonificaron la compra inmediatamente. Gracias

It worked twice for about 5 minutes each time, then it broke down. I only had it for a few months before it broke and I didn't use it straightaway. I would just stay away from this make, if I were you.
