Pizzelles have been a tradition in our Italian/American home for more than 150 years. It used to be simply during the holidays that this delicious treat was enjoyed. However, in the modern age, we now enjoy Pizzelles at anytime during the year. We're absolutely thrilled with our new Cuisinart Pizzelle Maker. It's a thrill to see how "Nana" supplies our four adult children, their spouses and our grandchildren with these delicious Pizzelle treats in the same way that "our Nouna " made them for us. The size of the Cuisinart Pizzelle maker could have been a little larger, to make even larger treats, but it makes this delicate crowd pleaser the greatest pizzelles.  They're light, crispy and scrumptious taste.  Your machine is GREAT !!!
