Unlike an old-fashioned pizzelle iron, this electric pizzelle baker stays hot--you don't have to wait for it to reheat after you bake a pizzelle. It churns out three 3-inch pizzelle simultaneously in 45-60 seconds, and then is instantly ready to bake three more. The nonstick plates clean easily and release pizzelle readily, and are surrounded by an overflow channel for excess batter. (A precisely calibrated batter spoon is included.) Electronic controls add convenience and flexibility. There are "heat-up" and "ready" lights--there's even a dial so you can choose exactly how brown you want your pizzelle. When warm and pliable, pizzelle can be formed into baskets, cones, and cannoli for holding sweet fillings. (A wooden cannoli dowel is included.) Or they can form sweet sandwiches. Accordingly, accompanying the 1,000-watt appliance are recipes for variously flavored pizzelle and for cannoli fillings. The baker measures 9 inches wide, 3-1/4 inches high, and 10 inches deep, stores upright, and has a cord-wrap underneath. --Fred Brack Roll them into cones or cylinders, shape them into baskets or stack them like a sandwich, pizzelles are not only delicious, they're versatile. This delicate cookie has its roots in ancient Italy where they were made for only important celebrations. In the middle ages the pizzelle irons frequently bore the crest of a noble family, or a regional design. The variations you can devise with a seemingly endless array of possible fillings, keeps the pizzelle maker from gathering dust in appliance Purgatory.
