why do the pizzelle's stick to my iron

You need to oil it well. Wait until is very hot before adding cookie mixture, wait until cookies are cooked before attempting to remove. I've used mine many times at beginning as you I had a little trouble, until I got the hang of it. Enjoy, cookies are delicious, your family and friends will love it

Did you "season" the iron before your first use? Seasoning the iron means that after cleaning the pizzzelle maker you coat all inside surfaces with oil only and then heat the iron for 5 to 10 minutes.Also, are you coating with oil before making the first pizzelle?Finally, you could try using a non-stick spray instead of the oil when you are making the pizzellexs.

I heated my iron up and let it "burn in" when I first bought it and have never had any trouble. Perhaps you need to clean the irons really well, then wipe then with a really good, high temp oil and then try plugging in the iron for a while to season it before you use it to make pizzelle again.

I have never had a problem with mine sticking and I've used several different recipes. I always let my iron heat up for about 10 minutes before I start. After it is heated, then I use a pastry brush and coat the iron with oil or sometimes butter. I wonder if maybe you are trying to remove the pizzelles before they are completely cooked?? That might cause them to be sticky and not want to lift off the iron.

I have never had that problem . I use a flour sack sprinked with flour . That way it doesn't stick to the boule. I just transfer the boule over to whatever I am baking it on. Works for me anyway. Good luck.

I must admitt, I've not had this experience, so I really cannot answer. But I think you've been given some good advice by Louis A., and Homer G. I have been under the impression, that like cast iron, the surface of this iron also needs to be 'seasoned'. I hope you'll post your end results to help anyone else who encounters the same issue? Best Wishes.

The Pam could be your problem. It can leave a residue that will cause stuff to stick after a while. We buy cheap spray bottles from The Dollar Store and fill them with olive oil or peanut oil and use those for cooking. Try cleaning your waffle iron thoroughly, then season it with oil from a spray bottle. See if that helps. We've never had a problem with stuff sticking in our iron and we mix in cheese sometimes for a savory waffle.

No. Never known a pizzelle maker where plates came off. Just use damp paper towel. Throw out first two cookies of next batch if you are worried. Yea, for non-stick!

Hi,My wife (Mrs. Olsen) recommends a long, thin blade spatula or even a table knife to remove the krumkake. She doesn't recommend oiling the iron's faces as she believes the batter will do the job fine after you get going. Possibly a very light rub with butter at the start would be OK. We set the dial on #3 + a bit. They should be a light golden color. Don't over cook. Roll them asap. Enjoy, Mr. Olsen.

I use a very small amount of oil. The iron surface is teflon and may not need it,but I wanted to insure the waffles didn't stick.

The feet did not raise up on the first iron I ordered. I called the vendor and had them replace it. The feet "stick" on my second iron every once in awhile. Then again, I use a lot of starch, not to mention I use it everyday in my business. When the feet do stick, I turn it completely off and unplug it for 5-10 minutes. This seems to do the trick. After trying this and the feet still do not raise I would suggest calling the vendor and asking for a replacement.

The interior or baking part of pizzelle maker is a black, non-stick coated metal surface. If you follow directions you will not have any sticking problems.

My pizzelles came out just as thin as they do on my old pizzelle iron. The only difference I noticed was that the Teflon iron was much hotter and we adjusted to a shorter baking time

you should also consider checking to make sure that your flat iron is made entirely of ceramic - not just coated in ceramic (some flat irons will say they are ceramic but they are only coated in it) because it will burn hair if it isn't ceramic because it would evenly heat, and get too hot.

I assume it is because once the iron reaches a certain temperature they just stop. I can be ironing and they will pop up then when I want them to pop up they won't.

I did not have anything like that. That may be metal shavings. I would brush it with a stiff brush.. tooth brush would work. Use a bit of dawn liquid detergent and water. Hold grates under running water, do not immerse it. Then dry with some paper towels. Always throw out first couple cookies, like directions states. If this doesn't help, I would exchange for a different one. When you make so many irons, you are bound to have a problem or two in manufacturing

It happens with me as well because while ironing I always press on the steam lever underneath the handle. Because this iron consumes lot of steam. It's normal. And I do not fill the reservoir till the max or else it will spit water, so I just fill half of the tank and yes after a shirt and a half I have to fill it, not fun but at least feels good to iron with good steam.Oh and always use distilled water, no tap water

I have not encountered the paddle/blade getting stuck to the pan. I have made over two dozens loafs.

It is probably the water(minerals). U can by a special solution for cleaning out irons- can' t remember what it is called since I have quit ironing.maybe that will help..
