"Googling" shows me a myriad of the irons out there. I'm looking for a
electric iron, at least 2 5" pizelles, but would like you pizellers out
there to let me have your opinions on the difference between the plain
cast-iron and non-stick models' pizelles. The wife prefers a crisp
pizelle, and I bow to her wishes :-)

Non-stick; it's a no brainer. Our lefse flatbread and pizelles all turn out
great. Here's one case where if grandma had teflon available, this question
would never arise.

Properly maintained, cast iron is essentially non-stick.

Thanks to responders! Final choice was for a 3 ovals iron, 10 year
warranty, by Palmer from fantes.com - they also had a lot of oils,
extracts, flavors, to say nothing of the lemon squeezer we also ordered
from them. The last, defunct, iron we had wasn't non-stick, and neither
is the new one, and we had no problems with it, so all should be well in
the pizzelle department shortly.

Wanna share some recipes?
