A reader needs help locating an Iron

All-This question came from a fan of Pizzelle looking for a specific iron:

"Could you please help me locate a pizzelle iron that has the boot of Italy and the regions of Italy pattern on it? A cousin of mine bought a iron like this years ago at a Trader Horn store. Thank you for your help."

If anybody as any ideas other than EBay, please post them or contact me and I will forward them appropriately.

Happy Holidays and Best Regards,

Gary

Krista's question

This is the first time making pizzelle's for Christmas and I was wondering how to store them? Also how long do Pizzelles keep? Can you freeze them?

Thanks,
Krista

Pizzelleman's response:

Krista,

I use a tupperware container and they are generally good for up to a month or so. My Mom squirrels them away and sometimes doesn't find them again for several months. She puts them on a cookie sheet in a 350 degree oven for 5 to 10 minutes until you can just start to smell them and they are as good as new (so she reports). You can also use ziploc bags or just produce bags from grocery store tied in a knot. I make and ship so many for the holidays, I use the bags they give me from the grocery store (for an occasional bribe with cookies or apple butter). If anyone else has any suggestions, please feel free to post.

Best Regards,

Gary

Welcome to the World's Online Pizzelle Blog!

Welcome to the Internet's most Authoritative Pizzelle Blog. My name is Gary but I am Also Known As (AKA) the Pizzelleman. Pizzelle have been a tradition in my family since my Great Grandfather made the Iron which I now use to make Pizzelle in the same way as my Great Grandmother Anna, as I have inherited the honor of keeping the tradition of Pizzelle alive in my family. As I have come to really enjoy the long hours spent standing in front of the oven making these delectable cookies one at a time for family and friends, I have also undertaken the mission of preserving the Pizzelle online for the whole world to experience and enjoy. This Blog is intended to supplement my Pizzelle website currently found a www.pizzelle.net, as an interactive application where other online members of the World Wide Web can share resources and interact in a collaborative manner. Please feel free to visit often and make sure to post if you have a question or have some helpful information you may want to share. The Holiday Season is almost upon us and I have many cookies to make this year, so I will sign off for now, but please review all of the useful and interesting areas of this blog and the Pizzelle site. Thanks for stopping by and Best Regards..........Gary
