Product Description
A pizzelle is a thin, wafer-like, cookie that is made with batter that isn't much different than a waffle - only not bready. You can flavor it, spread jam on it, even sandwich ice cream between two of them. It is generally believed that pizzelles were originated in a middle region of Italy, possibly around Abruzzi, in ancient times to mark an annual celebration. Initially baked over an open fire with relatively simple but effective irons, the early pizzelles often were proudly embossed with the family crest or some hint of the village of origin. Over time it became tradition to use pizzelles to celebrate any holiday or festive occasion, but inevitably there were pizzelles for everyone at Christmas and Easter. The modern patterns found on these delicious waffle cookies most commonly are floral on one side and a woven basket-like pattern on the other. With the Cucina Pro 220-05 non-stick Pizzelle Maker, you can make your own tasty treats and make each day your own special occasion.
The basic pizzelle recipe is simple. There are variations based on selection of cooking oils, including butter, margarine, vegetable oil or olive oil, and of course many flavorings, including anise, vanilla, or almond extract. Even rum extracts and whiskies are used by some creative pizzelle makers.
A basic recipe is 3 eggs or egg substitute, beaten; 3/4 cup sugar, 3/4-cup butter or oil, 1 1/2 cups flour, and 1 teaspoon of baking powder. This recipe can make about 2 to 3 dozen pizzelles. Add up to 3 teaspoons vanilla, or anise to make a traditionally flavored pizzelle. But, with your easy-to-use, Cucina Pro 220-05 pizzelle maker, pizzelle's are whatever you want to create. Amidst the doldrums of life, it's nice to look forward to a sweet treat that you can create, control, and enjoy.

I was very disappointed with they way this iron worked. I had an old pizzelle iron which was cast iron and did a beautiful job. Now all I can find is the nonstick ones. The temperature is very uneven and the cookies are not as uniform or as pretty as the ones I used to make. It was not worth the money. I'm going to look at flea markets in hopes of finding an old cast iron one.

We picked this pizzelle press up at the local gourmet shop after hours of looking online, and a cookie party deadline looming. I wanted the villaware 5000, but the place didn't carry it. I got the Cucina instead. It is a beautiful machine - heavy, blinding chrome finish, very nice. AND it had the most beautiful flower pattern/waffle weave. I was very happy. I also notice that Amazon has it for $10 less than I paid. It is extremely non stick. I used pam - let it really heat up - plug it in while you make the batter - and the cookies literally slide right off of the press. It's amazing. I timed the clean up, too. It was less than 90 seconds to toss all the stuff into one big bowl in the sink, fill with hot water & dawn, and microfiber damp cloth the press (after it was cool) and wash the spoons and the bowl. You do need a cookie rack to transfer the very hot cookies to. Also, keep the machine closed, to retain heat - as you slide off one set of cookies, before you add the new batter for the next batch. We will have this machine forever, it is one of those cool things that will get handed down, like my grandmother's electric waffle iron. HTH, Ciao!
