Krumkake Baker By Cucina Pro - 100% Non Stick, Makes Two Krumkake Cookies at a time

Best little cookie maker i ever had!

This Krumkake Cookie iron is perfect for me as I will probably only make these cookies a couple of times a year, at Christmas as a traditional cookie and possibly in July for little cones paired with homemade ice cream when the grandkids come for dinner. My daughter and I made these together last night, and found, as other krumkake makers say, that the work goes smoother with two sets of hands. That is especially so for this electric iron which makes two cookies at once. When I set the dough on both plates and closed the lid my daughter would start the timer. After I carefully removed the cookies with a silicon spatula to two small wire cooling racks, she would wrap them around the two cones (which I purchased separately) and set them aside to cool. The cookies would harden quickly as they cooled, just before time to remove the next set of cookies. My daughter would move them to larger wire cooling racks while I removed the next two cookies and we'd start the process over. My favorite thing about the electric iron is we were able to sit down at our working space the whole time. The old fashioned stove top Krumkake baker entails standing at the stove during the whole process, and includes the need to turn the baker over halfway through. I no longer have the stamina to stand that long as we made a double batch, and will do again. According to videos I have watched and other reviews read I learned that most people prefer the way the cookies turn out better with the traditional stove top version. So if you have plenty of stamina that might be the better option for you. We did use the recipe included in the book for Krumkake by Cucina Pro with cardamom and vanilla. You can see in the photos provided we were experimenting with timing and the amount of dough. We have a ways to go before we perfect it, but we did find that if the cookies are just the size or a little smaller than the printed pattern, they were easier to shape into tighter cones. Also, I struggled getting the same amount of dough each time and have a few ideas to try making the amount more consistent next time. We found the less batter used , the thinner the cookie turned out, and the less time needed to reach golden brown. Some of the darker ones you see really surprised us as they cooked the same amount of time as the rest. All in all, being a novice at Krumkake, I am not dissuaded and look forward to perfecting the process. I am very pleased with this purchase and I know we will make these cookies again.

Love using my cucinaPro krumkake!

Works as described, one improvement would be to place the indicator on the top panel. It is awkward to see on the bottom, especially in a well lite kitchen.

We really liked the even heat across the entire cooking surface. The cooking surface is smaller than on the previous unit we were using, but we still were able to get good results. It does take a little more time to cycle to full operating temperature after you remove a "cookie: or "cone shape" than our previous unit, but the hour maximum time to used the unit provided plenty of time to make about 70 or more cones.
