Know before you buy
No, the Palmer Electric Pizzelle Iron features traditional cast aluminum plates without a non-stick coating. To ensure the pizzelles release easily, you will need to lightly grease the plates with oil or cooking spray before each use.
While the iron does not have a built-in timer, the 800-watt heating element is designed for consistent performance. Most users find that pizzelles bake in about 30 to 60 seconds per batch, depending on your preferred level of crispness.
This model does not feature adjustable temperature control. It is designed for straightforward, consistent operation at a set temperature optimized for achieving the classic, crisp texture of traditional Italian pizzelles.
The plates are not dishwasher safe and are permanently attached to the unit. You should clean them by wiping the cooled surface with a soft, damp cloth or a dry brush to remove any leftover crumbs or oil.
The Palmer Electric Pizzelle Iron bakes two 4.5-inch pizzelles simultaneously. This size is the standard for traditional pizzelles, making them ideal for rolling into cannoli shells or serving flat.
