Overview
Cuisinart builds this press around two round nonstick plates that close over spoonfuls of batter and bake them into thin, crisp pizzelle. A dial sets browning, lights signal when the plates are hot and when the cookies are done, and warm cookies lift off to be rolled around the included dowel for cannoli.
Baking two cookies at a time with a fast reheat lets a few dozen pizzelle come out of one sitting, and the browning dial covers pale to deep color. The nonstick plates release the warm cookies whole, which matters for shaping cones and cannoli shells. Cleaning is a damp cloth on the plates, not a dishwasher, and the press stands on end to save shelf space.
Who it's for
Holiday baking sessions and families that roll their own cannoli get a press that turns out cookies as fast as batter can be spooned in. Someone who wants Belgian waffles or thick cookies needs a different plate pattern.
Pros and cons
- Two cookies per batch
- Five browning levels
- Dual indicator lights
- Nonstick release for rolling warm cookies
- Plates wipe clean only, no dishwasher
- Removable plates not mentioned
- Bakes thin pizzelle only
Performance notes
Crispness depends on the plates reaching full heat before the batter goes on, which the ready light signals, and on the browning dial setting how long each pair cooks. Because the cookies harden as they cool, shaping into cannoli or bowls has to happen in the seconds after the lid opens. Reheat between batches is quick, so the pace is set by how fast batter is spooned and cookies rolled.
