Unfortunately the baker was defective. I’ve contacted the company for a return authorization, and have returned the item. I’m still waiting for the refund, which I understand will take several weeks.
I was offered a replacement, which I declined, as I was able to find the same item in a retail store here in Madison.
I used to make these during “kakelinna” (time in Norway when Christmas baking begins) with my “farmor” (paternal grandmother). I still have my grandmother’s old cast iron krumkake iron and after trying this one, I will never deviate from the traditional iron again. Christmas baking in Norway isn’t about making a lot and saving time, it’s about family. Although the older ones take longer (but taste better), it is a great time to reflect. If you have the energy to use a traditional one, I recommend it…the cookies are temporary, memories are forever.
I love my new cookies’s maker. It so easy to use and fast to get good cookies for dessert.
This is the second krumkake iron I’ve purchased. It works wonderfully. I use it for krumkake and pizelles. Grandma’s recipe helps a lot!
I bought this for my Mom since her traditional iron is not recommended for flat top stoves. We used the recipe in the manual, it is slightly different that our usual but very tasty. It is hard to make round cookies as the batter runs out from the circle pattern. You also have to be quick to roll up the first cookie so that the second cookie is still pliable.
All in all, it gets the job done and quickly if you do not have the option of using a traditional stove top iron.
