Introducing: The Original Lefse Cuddler  


Once you've tasted how tender lefse can be, you will never want to make lefse without it. And we’re ready to prove it.



Designed for easy use with just one-hand, you’ll quickly and safely transition lefse from griddle to The Original Lefse Cuddler in one swift step.


In just 4 hours, by encouraging moisture retention and slow cooling, The Original Lefse Cuddler will create the most tender, supple lefse you have ever tasted.  Once out of the cuddler, your lefse is ready to serve, refrigerate or freeze with ease.

To prepare for use, simply dampen the inner flour sack towel, then fold The Original Lefse Cuddler into its ready position.  


Then, when your lefse is hot off the griddle, transferring it to The Original Lefse Cuddler is as easy as 1-2-3!  


  1. Simply slide the thumb of your free hand into the lifting loop.

  2. Unfold The Original Lefse Cuddler and lay the hot lefse inside.

  3. Quickly close The Original Lefse Cuddler.


Repeat as each lefse comes hot off the grill, stacking the lefse directly on top of each other.

How The Original Lefse Cuddler was Invented:


Our family loves lefse.  A lot of lefse.  In fact, last year we made more than 1,100 pieces for friends and family.  That’s 85 pounds worth of potatoes, if you’re curious.


Let me tell you - when you’re peeling 85 pounds of potatoes, you have a lot of time to think.  So we spent that time thinking and talking about how we could make the very best-tasting, tender lefse - and how we could do it easier and more efficiently than how we had been taught.


In our quest, we consulted over 100 lefse recipes, spoke with food scientists and experimented with various ingredients, methods and techniques.  And we ate a lot of lefse.  In fact, we didn’t stop until we could confidently say that our recipe was the very best we had ever tasted.  


But we wanted tender lefse.  Really tender lefse.  


Beyond limiting flour in our recipe and careful dough preparation techniques, we knew the cooling process was where we needed to really focus for tender lefse.  We were surprised, however, that recipes treated the cooling step as such an after-thought.  


“Take lefse off the grill and place between layers of towels” was the general consensus, so that’s what we did.  But it wasn’t easy.


Excuse me? You're wondering what isn't easy about placing a piece of lefse between layers of towels?


Well, let me explain: Once you’ve tried to balance a carefully rolled, perfectly cooked, hot piece of lefse on a long, narrow stick while trying to peel through multiple towel layers with only your non-dominant hand, under the watchful glare of the person who spent 2 days making and rolling it ultra-thin, you will completely understand that it isn’t easy.  


So, it became our mission to discover a better way.  We measured, stitched and invented until we created a contraption so simple, yet extremely effective, that we believe The Original Lefse Cuddler belongs in the home of every lefse maker.  


The Original Lefse Cuddler makes a great gift - order one for you and another for a friend today! You will not be disappointed.
