Traditional Scandinavian rosette and timbale irons. Make delicious, melt in your mouth deep-fried rosette cookies or timbale pastry shells. Each set includes a quick-change handle, 3 rosettes, 3 timbales forms and a batter recipe on the back of each box. Each cast aluminum form is approximately 2 3/4 inches across. Proudly made in the USA by Nordic Ware.
Rosettes are deep-fried Swedish cookies sprinkled with sugar. Timbales are deep-fried Swedish cookies filled with fresh fruit or, in savory form, with hot creamed chicken, fish, or vegetables. Greeks call their version of these cookies diples: they are dipped in honey, chopped nuts, and cinnamon. Mexicans sprinkle their deep-fried cookies in sugar, cloves, and cinnamon. Inventive cooks can change cookie flavorings and vary pastry-shell fillings to create entrees or pretty appetizers. All of these possibilities (recipes included) come courtesy of this rosette and timbale set. There are star, floral, and maze molds to make rosettes and fluted heart, square, and round molds for timbales. Molds screw onto the double-dip handle for frying two at a time. Heat the molds in hot oil, dip them into a batter, then dip them into the oil again. Cookies or shells easily slip off the cast-aluminum molds. --Fred Brack
Have bandages ready!Reviewed by K. Halling, 2009-12-16
I bought this at a kitchen store and it's dangerous! The device that SUPPOSED to hold the irons on is completely ineffective. Instead of screwing on tightly it simply pinching against the inside of the mold. After "locking" it with the cheap plastic knob I went to work. The moment it got into the oil it started slipping! After cooking a couple of rosettes the mold kept slipping off and splashing hot oil on me. I used the correct pan, I read all the instructions, and I confirmed my rosette maker wasn't broken. It simply doesn't work without burning you. NOT SAFE AT ALL!!!!!! The cookies were good though.
Rosettes ALMOST like the ones my mom hadReviewed by Laura M. Adams, 2009-01-18
I purchased this set for Christmas Cookies this year. It reminded me of my mom's set when I was a kid. Only difference is they were a little lightweight compared to hers, but they did the job and the cookies tasted the same! Brought back memories.
works perfectly!!!!!!Reviewed by Wisconsin, 2009-01-17
I purchased the Nordic Ware Swedish Rosette Timbale Set before Christmas. It was my first time using this product. I remember my Aunt making these delicate cookies years ago. I had no problem using "two" molds at the same time. Simply spread prongs slightly and screw on the molds. I used a "fry daddy" which worked perfectly for me. Simply follow the recipe/directions included and there should be no problem!
Technically not stableReviewed by Samantha Clark, 2008-01-12
The irons do not stay on the handle firmly. The handle portion of the iron needs to be developed so that it holds the irons tighter. The irons fall off during the cooking process. It is poorly designed.
Fun and NostalgicReviewed by Thomas Kilbride, 2007-12-23
Just made some rosettes for a Christmas party. It was easy and fun to do. Everyone enjoyed them, although most there had never tried them before. Brought back memories of my youth and Christmases at my Swedish grandmother's house.
