Cast Iron Rosette Iron Set

Who's Kidding Who Here?
This unit from Cooking.com is made from China. Consider it to be a disposable unit. The threads on it are worthless. I got one single use out of them. I thought it to be a fluke. Ordered another one. Same thing. Frustrated!

I located a German Made Cast Iron Rosette Iron online, from another reviewer. There is a world of differences, between the $10.00 China junk knockoff and the German made one. It is my opinion that the German Rosette Iron is worth every penny! The German Made Cast Iron Rosette will no doubt be handed down for generations to come. The threads alone are worth the higher price; however the quality is significantly noticeable. The German made set is a much heavier set than the China made set from Cooking.com. It is my opinion that it is worth your time to do a bit more research than for settling for this Chinese knockoff. Don't get me wrong - they are still better than Aluminum any day of the week - but if you have ever owned an Alfred Andresen...

Purchase a set from Cooking.com
The irons themselves - rock! They aren't as heavy duty as are old set - but they are still Cast Iron (ya know the kind - a magnet sticks to them). Sure beat the heck out of a Aluminum set - any day of the week! I can cook almost 4 cookies (w/cast iron) two one (w/aluminum). Cookies seem to be much crispier and thinner by comparison too.

Side Note: Cooking dot com lacks recipes and knowledge.

After the fact, we found a slew of recipes at [...] how-to instructions, lots and lots of tips and a toll-free number for customer support.

Rosette Irons
The irons are ok. They did NOT work per instructions and I had to find out from others reviews the trick to using them. The batter must be chilled for an hour or don't heat the iron for 2 minutes before dipping as instructions read. When I did this the batter just curdled and pulled away from the iron. All in all I figured it out and it worked.
