CucinaPro Pizzelle Maker - Non-stick Electric Baker Press - Makes Two 5-Inch Cookies at Once

Introducing the Non-stick Pizzelle Maker- a must-have for any kitchen! This Pizzelle Baker Press creates 5-inch cookies that are absolutely divine. Pizzelle, pronounced with a "ts" sound like "pizza," are traditional Italian waffle cookies that have been enjoyed for generations. These delectable treats are made from a simple combination of flour, eggs, sugar, butter or vegetable oil, and flavoring such as vanilla, anise, or lemon zest.

Depending on the ingredients and method of preparation, Pizzelle can be either hard and crisp or soft and chewy, making them a versatile addition to any dessert table. Originally crafted in the charming town of Ortona, in Italy's Abruzzo region, the name "Pizzelle" is derived from the Italian words for "round" and "flat" (pizze), which also happens to be the same meaning as the word "pizza." It's fascinating to note that many other cultures have their own variation of Pizzelle, such as the Norwegian Krumkake, making it one of the oldest cookies in the world.

Pizzelle are also known as ferratelle in the Lazio region of Italy, and may be referred to as ferratelle, cancelle, or pizzelle in Molise. The process of creating Pizzelle involves using a pizzelle iron which stamps a beautiful snowflake pattern onto both sides of the thin golden-brown cookie. Once cooled, the cookies have a delightful crisp texture.

To add a unique twist, Pizzelle can be shaped into a cannolo and filled with an orange-almond crème. They are particularly popular during Christmas and Easter, and are often found at Italian weddings alongside traditional pastries like cannoli and other Italian cookies. Another common way to enjoy Pizzelle is to sandwich them with cannoli cream (ricotta blended with sugar) or hazelnut spread. Additionally, while still warm, Pizzelle can be rolled using a wooden dowel to create cannoli shells.

The Pizzelle Baker is designed to make 2 cookies at a time and comes with included recipes for inspiration. Each cookie boasts a charming patterned design and measures 5 inches, making them the perfect size for snacking. They can also be rolled and used to make cones or cannolis, adding a fun and festive touch to any special occasion or holiday celebration.

This Portable Pizzelle Press features a steam guard that protects hands and is now available in an updated nonstick model with grey cooking plates. These plates ensure even heat distribution, resulting in cookies that are just slightly thicker than those made with the original model. The non-stick surface also makes for easy clean-up, although it's worth noting that a slight odor may be emitted upon first use. This is simply the plates heating for the first time, or the bakelite material releasing a harmless scent into the packaging.

In conclusion, the Electric Pizzelle Machine is a top-selling kitchen essential that no home should be without. Whether it's a housewarming gift for a friend or a special treat for yourself, the Pizzelle Maker is a wonderful addition to any kitchen.
