Product Description
Product Description
The Chef’sChoice KrumKake Express is a complete baking system that includes the cookie maker, a cone rolling form and a selection of favorite Scandinavian and German recipes. This versatile unit features instant temperature recovery so it’s always ready to bake.
Amazon.com
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

This krumkake iron is so user-friendly, with reliable temperature control, a nice pattern, and it's super easy to clean. We've been using it for about 10 years and it's still going strong -- krumkake, ice cream cones, pizelles, we've made them all. Nothing sticks and I can even use a little less butter in the recipe.
I have a recipe handed down from my grandmother in Germany that requires an iron that can produce a very thin ‘cookie’, which is then rolled around a dowel to form a cylinder. The Cucina Pro Krumkake iron and the Chef’s Choice 839 Krumkake Express seemed to be the only two electric options (Note: the Bethany Housewares iron is made by, and identical to, the Cucina Pro). This review is intended to express the suitability of these two machines for my needs, and while it will hopefully shed light on suitability to make Krumkake or other things, is not intended to be a judgment of such.
Initial Choice:
I initially chose the Cucina Pro, because based on all the reviews, I thought it would produce the thinnest ‘cookie’. Also, the fact that I could make 2 cookies at a time seemed like it would speed things up. The specifications indicated that each circle was 5” in diameter, which was slightly smaller than I wanted, but still acceptable. When I received the unit I was surprised by how small it was, and dismayed that each circle was actually only 4 & ¾ inches. This may not seem like a big deal, but it is a 10% difference in area. Unfortunately, the two circles are separated by only a few millimeters, so if I tried to use up all of the available area without being ultra-careful, the cookies would invariably end up joined together. By the time I got them separated, they had cooled down and hardened too much to be able to be rolled. I finished up the batch of batter by doing one at a time.
Let’s try the other.
Given how much work was involved, I figured I should at least try the Chef’s Choice Krumkake Express. From a visual inspection, I thought it would produce a thicker cookie, but to my surprise, the actual result was a slightly thinner cookie. Although I could only do one at a time, the whole experience was much more relaxing. The Krumkake Express has a heat control which allows you to specify the heat setting you need for your recipe. I ended up using a setting of 4.5 (out of 6) which I am sure is a good bit higher than the single setting for the Cucina Pro. This allowed the cookie to be baked in a shorter amount of time, while also allowing it to get darker and crisper - as required by my recipe. The Krumkake Express also does a better job of maintaining the heat, and seems to provide more even heating than the Cucina Pro, as evidenced by the more uniform color of the cookie.
Summary
I don’t want to knock the Cucina Pro. It had good build quality & looked nice. With the right tricks, I could achieve an acceptable result. I suspect it might do better with other recipes. But for me, the Chef’s Choice unit was the hands down-winner. The pros and cons below are specific to my recipe, and as compared to the other unit:
Cucina Pro
Pros: None
Cons: circles too close together for my recipe.
Chef’s Choice
Pros: Heat control, heat retention (higher wattage & probably better thermostat), more even heating, bigger surface, slightly thinner cookie.
Cons: None
