   The iron took some practice to use and have the cookies come out thin and crisp. I also appreciated that there were several recipes, both of which I tried. The only problem, for me, was that the bottom of the griddle has a handle off to one side and twice I burned my thumb rather severely. This is not a tool for young children to use even with supervision. My Mother always made these at Christmas for our Norwegian family and I too want to continue that tradition. The other problem in making them is that after rolling and creating the cone shapes you must store them in an air tight container or they become soft and soggy.

   This is exactly like vintage krumkake irons. I bet they’ve been using the same molds to produce these for decades. Everything is great about it except that it has some nasty spots where the mold had voids or something. There are some weird bumps and rough spots. That is really disappointing, but since it is aluminum, I can easily file them down and sand them smooth. I just shouldn’t have to, especially at this price.

   I am not a krumkake master, and this was not something I grew up with. But it is a fun and simple way to make an impressive dessert, and this iron does a fine job facilitating that.The biggest cons I’ve found are: 1) the entire iron gets VERY hot while cooking, so take care. It is easy to collect burns when you are cooking, lifting cookies off, or rolling them; and 2) the patterns do not emboss, but instead just toast onto the outside of the cookie. This means if your cookie gets too dark or the iron too hot, the pattern will not show up. I know that sounds a bit like saying, “when you burn stuff it tastes bad.” But the line here is very fine (depending on how much energy your stove puts out, and how hot the iron gets). If there was some way for the temperature of the relief to be significantly lower than the temperature of the iron, it would help. Or if the pattern were not so fine.Small complaint for a product that consistently turns out great and tasty cookies that wow guests and are fun for the kids to help make.

   Family members have two types of electric krumkake irons, but they don’t make the thin enough. With this you can squeeze the handles and make then thinner. Easier to clean than electric also. My granddaughter wanted one like mine – the old fashioned kiind. The only drawback is that on an electric stove you will get occasional flare-ups form dripping butter if not careful. On gas you don’t notice it, becasue ti drips into the flames. Wont work on induction stove top.

   I really wanted to make Krumkake for my annual Christmas party so I ordered this one. I used the recipe that came with it figuring it would be the easiest and most reliable. Instructions said to place 1 to 2 tsps of batter on the heated iron being very careful not to overflow the plates. 1 tsp was not enough to cover the whole plate and 2 tsps was too much. 1 1/2 tsp still did not cover the plate. The ‘top’ near the ball joint never got any batter – even with 2 tsps. 5 to 10 seconds per side. 10 seconds was too long and they came out very crisp, almost burnt. Found 7 seconds to work the best. Still darker than I wanted but acceptable. They turned out okay and were easy to roll. With a portion of the cake not being there (because the plate was not fully covered with batter), they were very delicate and crumbled easily. Definitely handle with care – especially if you are filling them! The iron being placed directly on the gas burner was efficient but it immediately turned color from the heat. Instructions said to wash in warm water – which did nothing – or use an aluminum cleaner – which also did nothing. It is permanently discolored -which I don’t mind if it doesn’t affect any future batch I might try. If anyone has a way to fill the plate completely without it running out the sides, please leave a comment. I’d love to know your secret to perfect kakas.

   The first iron I received had a gouge in one of the plates so I requested a replacement (which arrived about a week later, but I did request it during a busy holiday season).My new iron arrived in excellent condition! Both plates look exactly as they should, the drip ring is a great size, and the wooden cone looks brand new.It worked as it should with the exception of the ball joint getting stuck occasionally while cooking. While that’s not a deal breaker it is rather annoying when you finally find your groove.When making my first batch, it took a few tries to nail the perfect golden brown so you will probably need to experiment a little. What worked for me was med-high heat for 15 seconds on each side (squeeze tight about 5-10 seconds in for the design to show up better). Despite this brand having a video where they roll the krumkake directly on the iron, I had much better luck transferring it to a plate and rolling it there.

   I gifted this to my father for Christmas and he loves it. He’s always wanted a more traditional one
