Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Chef's Choice 839 Krumkake Express
Customer Review: Outstanding and worth it!
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
Description of Chef's Choice 839 Krumkake Express
Features: Baking and ready lights. Nonstick baking surface. Compact unit stands upright. Instant temperature recovery. Easy-clean overflow channel. Built-in cord wrap for easy storage. Dimensions: 12-1/8" x 12" x 4-1/2". Select the color, from golden to brown. Makes delicious krumkakes that are ready to serve in two minutes. Professional baking system includes a krumkake maker, a cone rolling form, and recipes.Pour a scoop of batter on the decorative, nonstick surface of this KrumKake maker, close the lid, and in only 60 seconds a perfect crepe-like cake is ready. Roll the warm cake around the included plastic form, and the cake hardens as it cools into a crisp cone. Children love the cones filled with softened ice cream, and adults will go nuts over fillings of chocolate mousse or whipped cream and fruit. Recipes in the instruction booklet offer Norwegian, Swedish, and German variations on krumkakes, so that cooks can choose between thick or delicate cakes. A numbered dial setting on the unit adjusts temperature to allow the cake color to range from golden to dark brown. Red and green lights indicate readiness, and a quick reheat time means 20 or more six-inch cakes can be cooked in a short amount of time. The unit is easily wiped clean, stores upright to save space, and comes with a one-year warranty against defects. --Ann Bieri
