VillaWare V5000 PRIMA Pizzelle Baker

The VillaWare Prima is the best pizzelle iron on the market. This iron makes thin, crispy pizzelles - the way they should be! The non-stick irons make a thicker, tougher pizzelle. Besides, using just a little oil on the iron as it first warms up prevents sticking anyway. When I first became interested in making pizzelles I was told not to buy a non-stick pizzelle iron - I am forever grateful for that advice and the recipe that I was given by a dear friend!!I purchased my first VillaWare iron in 1990. After using it twice I was ready to "double up", working two irons at once. After attempting this with a borrowed iron, I purchased my second iron in 1991. Using two irons makes the whole process move along quickly and easily. Shortly after you have the second iron filled and closed, the first one is just about ready to empty.Four years ago my son decided he wanted to make pizzelles too. So, of course, I purchased a VillaWare Prima iron for him! Today, I purchased a second iron as a gift for his 30th birthday. He has become the pizzelle chef and expert in his wife's family.All it takes is the right equipment - the VillaWare Prima, a favorite pizzelle recipe, and patience.... and you will be an expert too!!

used pizelle iron was exactly what I wanted, but it arrived busted....plug was shattered, and unable to be used. 🤨

It's bettter than coated iron, but still have to play with a recipe to get thinnest & crispest possible pizzelle!

THIS IS THE BEST PIZZELLE BAKER. IT GIVE YOU PERFECT PIZZELLE'S EVERY TIME. I LOVE IT!!!!!! I GIVE FOR CHRISTMAS BOXES OF SIX DOZEN CIOOKIES TO EACH OF MY FAMILY MEMBERS AND CLOSEST FRIENDS. THERE IS NO WASTE WITH THE POLISHED GRID BAKER. EACH SIX EGG RECIPE MAKES ABOUT EIGHTY PIZZELLES FOR ME.

Arrived broken

I recently received this pizzelle baker with the shiny coating as described and have found it to be an excellent machine. Using it for the first time today, I had absolutely no difficulties at all. The plates are wonderful and nothing stuck to them. The sound that is heard when the light goes on is extremely helpful. I recommend this pizzelle baker to all who are interested in a classic piece of equipment. It makes a very crisp pizzelle.

I've had this iron for several weeks and am very happy with it. The iron heats quickly and makes crisp pizzelle. Despite the manufacturer's claim that you do not need to oil the cooking surface, I've had to add a bit of oil to the top and bottom plates prior to cooking the pizzelle to prevent sticking. Other than that, it is a good iron for the money.

This is wonderful! The recipes are perfect. The pizzelles keep well in an airtight container. Just enough sweet for a light snack with fruits or custard.
