(More customer reviews)This past holiday season, I searched everywhere for a pizzelle maker that made smaller pizzelles, and I finally found this one -- exactly what I wanted. It makes four 3" cookies per batch rather than the one or two larger 5" pizzelles made by the most common makers. Despite this, the dimensions are still small enough (the iron is 6" deep x10" wide, with an additional 4 inches or so for the handle) to store easily when not in use. The nonstick surface needs to be sprayed or brushed with high temperature oil once per session, and the pizzelles never stick.
Operation is simple: you place one-inch balls or a couple of teaspoons of dough, depending on the recipe, in the center of each mold, then close the lid, locking it in place with the metal clip attached to the top handle. Although the instructions estimate approximately 40-50 seconds of cooking per batch, I found that it took a couple of minutes to get mine to the right doneness, but, of course, that may be recipe specific. It does take some experimentation to get the dough placed just right to get centered pizzelles, something that I never found a problem with a bigger pizzelle maker that I used years ago. Even off-center pizzelles cook perfectly -- they just don't look as nice. It took me an entire batch to get comfortable, so, if you're planning to make these for an occasion, make sure you allow yourself enough time to practice. The instructions recommend placing the dough just behind the center, but I found that to be horrible advice. Put the balls in the center of each impression, and adjust from there. I had no problem with unevenly cooked or burned cookies, nor did I find that I had to work exceptionally fast.
The pizzelle maker comes with a small, wooden cone shaper. The size of both the cone and the pizzelles makes for tiny waffle cones, something that would be cute as toppers for a bowl of ice cream or for sampling a few flavors, but not very practical for most people. For real waffle cones, I use my machine specifically for that purpose.
This maker makes wonderful pizzelles and stroopwafels in a manageable size. I highly recommend it!
