Product Description:
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.

Amazon.com Review:
Crisp, sweet, and decoratively imprinted, pizzelle cookies make a wonderful holiday gift--as does the press itself. To use, simply scoop a spoonful of batter on each round nonstick surface of the press, close and latch the lid, and in only 60 seconds two perfect pizzelle are ready. Roll the warm pizzelle around the included wooden dowel to make cannoli, or shape over an inverted custard cup to make a tiny dessert bowl. Pizzelle harden as they cool, and can be eaten flat like crisp cookies or shaped and filled with chocolate mousse, whipped cream, or fruit. A five-setting switch on the press adjusts the temperature for browning preference, and recipes in the instruction booklet offer variations on flavors. A measuring spoon is included. Red and green lights indicate readiness, and a quick reheat time means three dozen of these four-inch cookies can be cooked in no time. The press measures 9 by 8 by 4 inches, is easily wiped clean, stores upright to save space, and comes with a three-year warranty against defects. --Ann Bieri

Rating : - 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.
