From the Editors
Despite the delicate and intricately stamped appearance of pizzelle cookies they are deceptively easy to make. Simply deposit a scoopsworth of batter on the heated plate, close the lid, and a minute later you have a picture perfect pizzelle. The warm cookie can be wrapped around a dowel like a canoli or molded over an inverted custard cup to make a bowl. And of course you can let them harden in a flat position too, to enjoy as is or drizzled with syrup or for use as a giant sandwich cookie.

Works like a champ!
From the get-go, this product worked as designed. For the price, you can't beat it.
Horrible cookies!
When I mixed up my first batch of pizzelles I used the recipe in the booklet provided. They were horrible, not thin at all, very cakey. So I went to my tried and true recipe that I got from Mama Leone herself and I had used this recipe with her iron many many times for super thin crispy pizzelles. Not with this iron, they also came out thick. They are also smaller than what I am used to. Very disappointing and I am returning the iron. This may have something to do with the thickeness of the cookie but the latch can be hard to pop up when the cookie is done, very flimsy and I can see this breaking down the road.
wonderful choice
Although I am an experienced baker, I had never before made pizzelles. I pulled this out of the box, looked at the instructions and whipped up the ingredients in minutes. It took me two sets of pizzelles (4 single cookies) to get the exact color of cookie that I wanted. But the first 4 were totally edible anyways - just not quite golden enough. This machine is so darn easy! You can't go wrong! You can't mess these up. They are beautiful cookies and tasty and versatile. You can't wander too far from the press while cooking because they can go from perfect to burned in seconds and it only takes about a total of 30 seconds from beginning to end. The indicator light worked perfectly for me. It took me a moment to realize that it takes several seconds for the light to turn red after I've inserted the batter, then you must wait for the light to turn green again before removing the cookies from the press (which is extremely simple with a pancake type spatula). There were always some extra and rough edges around my cookies, it's hard to avoid, but after the pizzelles cooled (which took about 2 minutes) I just snapped off all the rough edges and put them into a bowl to eat! I made only the vanilla flavored cookies so far but I noticed that it took a lot of vanilla extract to get a good flavor. My husband wants me to make some lemon ones. I'm thinking almond but I also purchased a bottle of anise extract today, which is the classic pizzelle flavor. I also purchased a can of dulce de leche and I plan on spreading some onto one pizzelle and sandwiching it with another one. The possiblities are endless. I highly recommend this pizzelle press. It's so easy. Even if you are a beginner.
Terrible, Terrible, Terrible
I purchased the Cuisinart Pizzelle Press today and have been very upset with it. Think if your worst waffle making experience (batter leaking out, burning yourself, waffles sticking, etc) now multiply that by 1000. You need to use crisco or Pam spray each time you pour batter on the maker but they still stick. It is an absolute mess. I am talking nightmare! Just as I was beginning to get the hang of it the lock down latch broke off. I had to laugh or I was going to cry. This piece of garbage is packed up and being brought back to Bed Bath and Beyond right now. It is just not worth the hassle! Buy some yummy pizzelle at your local market and be done with it!
Great product
This is a great iron. I love the red and green light feature which lets you know when the cookie should be done and every time it was right on.
