Amazon.com Review:
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

What you get is NOT what is pictured:
The handle has two prongs, but only holds ONE mold at a time. It does NOT function as shown above. Furthermore, the system for attaching the molds is not very secure as it is not a screw-on as I have seen on other versions. Please BEWARE when purchasing this item.

Technically not stable:
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.

Not what I expected...:
Not what I expected... I thought it did duo patterns of rosettes, but only does one. I can't not use other Rosette patterns with the set. It doesn't remain the heat, so it took longer to make the cookies.

Nordic Ware Double Swedish Rosette Timbale Set:
I was not pleased to have received a DIFFERENT PRODUCT than was featured/selected/ordered ! The company did NOT respond to my request for a return with refund based upon an item that differed from the described/pictured/ordered item! The item received was a SINGLE handled item! Do NOT order unless you are aware of the fact that the seller may deliver a replacement item.

Fun and Nostalgic:
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.
