Irons Reviews

Hello all amazon users,

First person to review this item leaves a so-so favorable impression. The image is deceiving as you do not get a glass lid with the wok. Handles are not wooden but rather 2 stubby iron wings that you grab on to. Other than that, this sucker is heavy. Good in the send that when you are actually stir frying your stuff, you are not moving the wok around. The base is pretty thick so heat will be uniformly dispersed. What you pay for is what you get, I can't complain. Add on the 25 off 125 purchase so it's a good deal.

I had an old Krumkake Cast Iron that our hinges finally broke off and thought I would try this unit. Very disappointing! Ever cooked with aluminum foil in the oven? Within seconds from removing it from the hot oven you can touch the aluminum; right? I found this Cast Aluminum Krumkake Iron to be the same way. I couldn't control the heat. I constantly had to adjust the heat on my stove. How frustrating is that?

I then purchased an electric unit. Thinking that was the way to go. Neat concept or so I thought. You can cook twice as fast - and two at a time to boot. However I couldn't control the thickness. If you don't mind the bits of Teflon (we called them, "Black spec surprises") and a cookie that is twice the thickness of an ice cream cone - the electric unit is definitely for you!

Take it from a Norwegian, avoid this product at all costs if you are seeking a real krumkake iron. It is not a solid cast iron device. Look elsewhere for quality.

I have only used it once so far and need to figure out how to keep the kitchen from getting so smoky. It will take a bit of practice to get the timing down for cooking each krumkake. I think I'd like to try using an electric iron.
