Our verdict

A chrome pizzelle baker that turns out a pair of patterned cookies in half a minute with a thermostat that needs no dial. Browning is not adjustable from the listing, so color is controlled by timing rather than a setting.

Overview

A home baker who wants traditional Italian pizzelle gets two patterned nonstick grids under a chrome lid that stamp the fiori design into each cookie. An automatic thermostat heats the grids, a ready light shows when to spoon in batter, and a Steam Guard shields the hand from steam as the lid opens.

Speed is what this baker offers: a pair of cookies every half minute means a holiday batch is done in one sitting. The Xylan coating releases the thin cookies whole so they can be rolled while warm. There is no browning dial in the listing, and no wattage is given, so the thermostat alone sets the heat.

Who it's for

Large family gatherings, church bake sales and anyone making cannoli shells by the dozen get a fast two-cookie baker that stores on end. Bakers who like to dial in light or dark color, or who want a compact unit, should consider a press with browning settings.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Two cookies every half minute
  • Traditional fiori pattern
  • Xylan nonstick grids release cleanly
  • Automatic thermostat with ready light
Cons
  • Wattage and browning control not listed
  • Long footprint on the counter
  • Model number in listing does not match part number

Performance notes

Bake time is governed by the thermostat holding the grids at one fixed heat, so cookie color is set by how long the lid stays closed rather than a dial. The Xylan surface lets the thin cookie lift off without tearing, which is what makes rolling for cannoli possible in the seconds before it hardens. Steam escapes each time the lid opens, and the guard directs it away from the hand on the handle.

Frequently asked questions

Does the VillaWare V3600-NS need any setup before the first batch?

No assembly is described. Plug it into a 120 volt outlet, wait for the ready light from the automatic thermostat, then spoon batter onto the grids. Instructions with recipes are in the box.

Can the VillaWare Prego baker adjust how dark the pizzelle get?

The listing describes an automatic thermostat with a ready light only. No browning dial or settings are mentioned, so color is controlled by how long the lid stays closed.

Is the VillaWare V3600-NS the same as model SCM1100-ABWM?

The listing's model field shows SCM1100-ABWM while the part number and title show V3600-NS. Check the carton for V3600-NS if the Prego baker is what you want.

Is the VillaWare Prego a waffle maker?

No. The grids bake two thin, round pizzelle cookies with a fiori imprint, not thick waffles.
