Heavy Oreshki Mold Oven Cookies Maker Oreshnitsa 16 Nuts Орешница Oreshki with Non-Stick Coating - Cookie Mold Oreshek Cake for Sweet Russian Nuts

Looks fine. Didn’t use it yet.

This cookie maker is heavy. Nicely made it has wooden handles and a non stick finish. There are no instructions included. If you have never used one of these before there are goid instructions and recipes online. It is sturdy and seems well constructed.

Perfect

I tried a different version of Oreshki maker which consisted of many aluminum halves that could be put together to make individual cookies. Those were tedious to use and also very sharp and I cut myself trying to separate the halves. This one is much easier to load up the dough and to be able to flip it over to cook the other side instead of having to use the oven like I had to with the single cookie style. Well worth the price.

So small

NOTE: This is an early review for this item. I will come back to update after I've figured it out, but the holidays are upon us so updates may be delayed. I'll do my best, so bear with me.Here's my early assessment after receiving this pan:I ordered this "oreshki" Russian cookie-mold pan that makes small walnut shell shapes, which can then be filled. Each shell is only about 1" and the pan itself is just over 6" diameter so it's not very large. Unfortunately, there are no instructions on how to use it. It looks so fun & clever, but I'm clueless about it.I don't know what kind of wood is on the handles, and the website pix only mention the types of burners it can be used on (gas, electric, etc) but no mention of an oven. It *appears* that this is to be used on a stovetop and not in the oven.There is a basic dough recipe on the page, but that's the most info it gives. I have no idea how to use this thing, and I see a whole lot of googling in my future about it -- or hours of trial & error!Again, this is still new, and some advice from friends who are accomplished cooks (who have never seen this before either) have so far told me that I could probably put it in the oven no more than 350 degrees F, that most wood handles can withstand that, for 6-8 minutes, but try it on my old electric coil stovetop first like a waffle iron or campfire sandwich maker.My suggestion if you buy this is to take a screenshot of the picture on this page with the dough recipe. It's not much help, but it looks doable if you play around with it. I will look on the internet for more info when I get a free minute (haha) and I will come back here to update my review if & when I get it all figured out.For now it's 3 stars for just sending the pan with zero info included with it. Without that kind of help, this can't even be ordered as a gift. My star rating will probably not change because of that, even when I update my review.

The two sides don't really meet squarely in the middle, meaning you get little nuts that are slightly skewed on one side. Seems a little cheaply made.
