C. Palmer Pizzelle Iron Model 1000, 800 Watts Pizelle Maker Electric, American Made Pizelle Press, Makes Two 5-Inch Authentic Pizelles, Pizelle Cookie Press, Unique Housewarming Gifts for Her

This pizzelle iron is the best pizzelle maker I have ever used. I have been making pizelles for over 45 years and have tried various ones over time. Other brand’s tefllon coated ones that I tried do not get very hot, the patterns on the cookies are not very deep, and they take long to make. This PALMER PIZZELLE MAKER gets very hot (which is essential for crisp cookies) and has nice deep patterns that make the cookie look very pretty. It is important to grease the iron as directed before using, If not, the cookie dough will stick in the depressions and be very difficult to clean out. Do not get frustrated if this happen to you, though. Just clean it and start again. However, if greased properly on each first use, it never sticks and wipes clean with a damp paper towel. It is also important to let the iron heat up for at least 15 minutes. One reason the cookies will stick is if you do not let the iron get hot enough… so grease it exactly as directed and let it get hot – it will work out perfectly for you every time!! I would not use any other puzzle maker. While visiting family in another state, I was asked to make pizzelles for them. They showed me their iron, and I tried to use it, but ultimately ordered a Palmer Pizzelle Maker to be sent to their house for me to use! That’s how much I love this one!!! You will not be disappointed . I highly recommend this for purchase.I’d also like to add that there is no indicator light for “doneness,” but that is not a negative. Each recipe takes a differing time, so you need a little trial and error to see just how long each one takes for you. I sometimes lift up the iron a little and peak to see how they look. Just be careful you don’t move the pizzelle or it will mess up the pattern on it (but still be edible). My family likes to eat the “mistakes” as soon as I make them!
