Chef's Choice 839 Krumkake Express

I've made krumkake with the traditional iron in the past, but recently moved to a house with a glass stop stove and the old iron just couldn't work right without the right kind of heat... I just finished making TWO batches of krumkake, using two different recipes (one recipe is butter based, the other is cream based). The first batch didn't last long enough -- I was having so much fun, I ran out of batter and made some more! This iron is so incredibly easy to use... Krumkake is perfect, both recipes worked wonderfully. How it works: Heat iron for about five minutes until light is green. Wipe small amount of oil on iron. Put tablespoon of batter on iron, close lid. Close latch (latch puts slight pressure on lid for uniform cakes). The light turns to red, then green when it is done in about a minute (depending on how "golden" you like it). There is a small dial with numbers that act as a timer; remember your setting (I started at 3 1/2). When the light is green, open iron, peel off cake, and roll with cone (included with iron). Easy. Recommend putting iron on cookie sheet, as batter may spill out at times. PROS: Incredibly easy to use - the lights, latch, and dial make it almost automatic. Batter doesn't stick to iron. Compact in size Easy to clean CONS: Only one krumkake at a time (which isn't a con if you are baking alone) All in all, an awesome product. I can make these cookies often, easier than a regular sugar cookie, and the settings on the iron make it fool proof. Strongly recommended.

Excelente producto y llegó rapidisimo

Fonctionne très bien pour faire des bricelets! Facile à utiliser.

This Chef'sChoice 839 Krumkake Express is very well-made. The latch snaps shut strongly and snugly but is easy to re-open w one finger, the temperature control is very sensitive so that a small movement up or down on the dial varies the timer for the perfect color you want, and the unit heats up quickly and stays evenly hot. This is my first experience w Krumkake, and I've always wanted to make these myself, as they are delicious! The 839 comes with three recipes: "A Favorite German Recipe," "A Norwegian Favorite" and "A Norwegian Recipe for a Lacy KrumKake." The recipes are quite simple, and took no time at all to blend in my mini-food processor. By my fourth KrumKake attempt, my creations were turning out quite presentably. I also quickly destroyed the evidence of my first mishaps, by eating them before anyone saw. I'm putting the recipes presented (shortened instructions) below, and I have a picture of my first batch for the Lacy KrumKake. I made cones w the provided cone shape, rolls with a Wilton Fondant mini rolling pin, and the bowls by pressing the hot KrumKake very lightly between two small Corelle (glass) bowls. A Favorite German Recipe 2/3 c water 1 c all purpose flour 1/2 stick butter 1 egg 1/2 to 1 teaspoon vanilla 1/2 c granulated sugar (or more) boil water, take off heat and melt butter in it. add sugar and stir to dissolve and let cool. add flour and egg, mix and add vanilla. will make a thin crispy krumkake. A Norwegian Favorite 2/3 stick butter (5 Tbsp) 2/3 c milk 2/3 c sugar 1 c all purpose flour 2 eggs melt butter w/o overheating. mix in sugar, then use power mixer to add 2 eggs till light yellow in color. add milk and flour, blend till smooth. A Norwegian Recipe for a Lacy KrumKake 1 stick butter 1 c all purpose flour 2 Tbsp whipping cream 1 c sugar 1/2 t vanilla 3 large eggs melt butter w/o overheating, mix in sugar. use power mixer to beat in 3 eggs. Add flour slowly to make smooth. whip the cream fully in separate bowl and fold into batter. add vanilla to taste.
