Palmer Electric Belgian Cookie Iron - Thin 2-Pack

Anja DAngeloAnja DAngelo: After seeing Stroopwafels made at the Alert Cuyp market in Amsterdam this past summer, I simply had to learn how to make them. Toine's Kitchen on YouTube had a great video and recommended this maker. It's absolutely perfect. I can make 2 x 4 inch Stroopwafels at a time and after making over 500, the iron is still going strong. Use unsalted butter to grease and ensure the handle is clean or made a bit rough so the metal clip that holds the iron closed doesn't slip. Thanks to Palmer and Toine's Kitchen, I'm now getting requests from my Dutch relatives :-)

Eveline R.: Works great in creating very thin waffles in about 60 seconds. The iron gets very hot. I called the company asking about an oil smell coming from iron before I started cooking and silver flakes that were coming from the iron the size of glitter. A very friendly person answered and reassured me that this would be temporary. But do clean inside with a soft toothbrush and cloth before starting. To the people that say that the waffles are too thick: Remember that you have to slice them horizontally through the middle with thin sharp knife when they are still hot, and fill each cookie with stroop. ( best recipe: Rutger Bakt and if you can’t find ‘keukenstroop’ get golden syrup on Amazon. It’s the same thing. )

Bill CorsinBill Corsin: Our kids were home for the holidays and we decided to try out this recently purchased Belgian Cookie maker. After a little trial and error, we proceeded to make around 10 dozen of the tastiest cookies you could ever want. Only the first 2 cookies were wasted because we didn't have the unit hot enough to start with. This cookie iron is heavy duty, well made, and a pleasure to use! At $89 it was a great buy AND it's made in the USA! Perhaps you can save a little time by learning from our experience.

We made the batter using the recipe in the pamphlet that came with it. Chill the batter in the fridge overnight and take it out a half hour before you start. Form about a half dozen 1 1/2" balls of batter to get started with. You can form more as you wait for the cookies to bake. Preheat the iron for about 12 minutes and spray Pam or apply similar oil on the iron after it's warmed up. You only need to oil it once in the beginning, after that the butter in the batter takes over that job. If you don't get it hot enough to start with, the first cookies may not get baked enough and will stick to the iron and be difficult to remove completely. Not fun! Also, the whole...

Amazon CustomerAmazon Customer: We've always used a century old cast iron cookie press from Belgian but my brother has it and lives far away so I decided to try this electric iron. It produced cookies faster and set off no smoke alarms. Cookies tasted great and we had no burnt cookies or rejects. Cookies weren't as thin as our original iron press but they tasted great and now instead of eating five cookies I just have two. No sticking, cleaned up easy. This is a very sturdy iron and it is made in the USA! It seems pricey but definitely high quality.

Carol S.: I bought this little gem after a couple of weeks in primary the Netherlands and a few days in Belgium. In Amsterdam, I discovered stroopwafels are like crack, and while the packaged ones i tucked in my carry on were good, I wanted the quality of fresh made like are sold in market stalls. After finding recipes,and researching this iron and traditional pizzelle irons, I decided this was what I was searching for. I have used it twice already, and am in no way disappointed. This unit cooks evenly and quickly, and is completely non-stick, even though not a "non-stick" surface. (Do not get the black "non-stick" irons as they do not heat as well or brown evenly from past experience with other type irons.) I followed the directions of greasing the unit and then discarding the first two cookies. After that, I used pam once, and in 20 presses, not one single cookie stuck. All released cleanly and quickly. Browning was even, with no undercooked areas. Clean up was easy. After cooling, I wiped down with a damp cloth, then dried thoroughly with a soft dry cloth. It is as clean as it came right out of the box.

Speaking of box, the packing was secure and the...
