Overview
An electric krumkake iron, not a waffle maker despite the listing category, that bakes 6-inch rolled Scandinavian cookies on a nonstick plate with 1050 watts of power.
The Waffle Irons category on this listing is a mislabel; the product itself, per the title and included recipes, is built specifically for krumkake, a thin rolled cookie traditionally made on a stovetop iron. Reviewers switching from stovetop models describe it as a straightforward upgrade.
- Bakes a 6-inch krumkake in about 2 minutes
- Nonstick plate with overflow channel
- Baking and ready indicator lights
- 1050 watts with recipes included for rolling into cones
Who it's for
For home bakers who make krumkake, pizzelle-style cookies or similar rolled treats regularly, especially anyone replacing a manual stovetop iron. Not a general-purpose waffle maker.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Reviewers switching from stovetop krumkake irons describe the process as easier and more consistent, with several praising the heat recovery and ready light. One owner rates the machine itself well but was frustrated that no replacement parts were available after the latch broke, and another says results took some adjusting to get even thickness.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- No flipping required, unlike a stovetop krumkake iron
- Overflow channel keeps batter from making a mess
- Compact enough to store upright
Performance notes
The plate recovers heat quickly between batches so there's no cooldown wait, and an overflow channel drains excess batter to keep the shape even. Baking and ready lights signal when the iron is up to temperature and when a batch is done.
