Follow these steps to make delicious krumkake:

1. Przygotuj ciasto: Use a traditional krumkake recipe. A recipe is included with your iron, or you can find many variations online. Ensure your batter is smooth and of a pourable consistency.
2. Preheat the Iron: Place the krumkake iron on your stovetop over medium heat. Allow it to preheat for 5-7 minutes. You can test if it's ready by dropping a few drops of water on the surface; they should sizzle and evaporate quickly.

3. First Cookie (Optional GreasinG): For the very first cookie, you may lightly grease the iron's cooking surfaces with a small amount of butter or cooking spray. This is usually not necessary for subsequent cookies if the iron is properly seasoned and hot.
4. Wlej ciasto: Open the iron and pour approximately one tablespoon of krumkake batter onto the center of the bottom plate. The exact amount may vary depending on your recipe and desired cookie thickness.

5. Zamknij i ugotuj: Close the iron firmly. Cook for approximately 30-60 seconds on one side, then flip the iron and cook for another 30-60 seconds on the other side. Cooking times will vary based on your stovetop's heat, the iron's temperature, and your desired crispness. The cookie should be golden brown.
6. Remove and Roll: Immediately open the iron and carefully remove the hot krumkake using a thin spatula or knife. It will be soft and pliable.

   While still hot, quickly roll the krumkake around the wooden rolling cone to form a cone shape. Hold it for a few seconds until it sets. If you prefer flat cookies, simply let them cool on a wire rack.
