A client brought us a plate of pizzelle cookies for Christmas, and I knew I had to have a pizzelle press. I searched Amazon, and based on the excellent reviews, I ordered the Pizzelle Pro. I have already (as of 1/2/11) made three batches of cookies, and am very pleased. I noticed when I was reading reviews, that some cooks objected to the time it took to make a batch of cookies. With this in mind, the first time I made the cookies I cut the recipe by two-thirds; i.e. instead of the six eggs called for, I used two. It didn't take too long, and I had a nice little batch of cookies. The only problem was standing at the counter for several minutes. So the next time I did one-half measure (3 eggs) and set up shop at the dining room table where I could operate the press and still watch TV and be part of family converations. This worked great and that's how I will make my pizzelles in thefuture. Hope you enjoy your Pizzelle Pro too.
