Takoyaki Pan #H5180 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Beggars can't be choosers, and that seems to be true for takoyaki in the US. The delightful Osaka treat is rare enough even at Japanese restaurants, and the necessary implements for making it at home are even more so.
The absolute best set up is a round takoyaki pan, either on a gas or electric portable grill. Much of the fun of takoyaki comes from everyone sitting around the table and cooking together, putting in your favorite ingredients and popping the little balls out then eating them hot and fresh. That is how it is done in Japan, and home-cooking takoyaki isn't meant to be the province of a lone cook standing over a stove while everyone waits patiently for the food. It is a communal experience.
However, true takoyaki cookers are not readily available, and this pan is better than nothing. It doesn't take much, just a pan with round indents in it heavy enough to rest on the range while the balls are flipped over using long toothpicks. It isn't really designed to work with electric ranges, as they are pretty rare in Japan, but it does the trick. I don't recommend using the included steel pick, as it will scratch your pan and conduct heat while doing the flipping.

Nordic Ware Danish Ebleskiver Pan Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We have used this pan every weekend for a year. Don't bother making mix from scratch - Hungry Jack's "just add water" pancake mix makes wonderfully light and fluffy Ebelskivers. We add blueberries and raspberries to our Ebelskivers (fresh in season, frozen but thawed in warm water the rest of the year).
Yes, it is nonstick but I find a little butter is necessary to keep the Ebelskivers from sticking if they have fruit in them, plus the butter is essential to taste, in my opinion. I add a small, thin slice of butter to the bottom of each Ebelskiver hole once it's hot (heat over low or medium low heat). Once the butter melts, add batter to each hole to just slightly below the hole's rim (beware, center hole heats quickest, so add butter to that hole last and add batter to that hole first). Now add fruit or jelly to center until batter rises to rim or just above the rim.
Once brown on bottom, use a small silicone heat resistant spatula to flip the Ebelskivers over. While the flip takes a little practice, it is easy to catch on to. Trust me, guests and family will be impressed with these unusual breakfast treats AND will be amazed at the taste! We top our Ebelskivers with real maple or blueberry syrup and a small dollop of whipped cream ("Reddy Wip" make not be haute cuisine, but it sure tastes good!).
NOTE ABOUT CAST IRON: We also own a cast iron Ebelskiver pan, which we hate. No matter how many times I've tried to season and oil the pan, the Ebelskivers stick - which ruins the Ebelskivers. Plus, I have a bad neck which is irritated by trying to use caste iron, which is very heavy and difficult to use for making Ebelskivers. Just be sure to wash the nonstick pan by hand and don't use forks or other metal utensils to turn the Ebelskivers.
RECOMMENDED!

Pancake Puffs Cast Iron Set Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought one of these at bed bath and beyond, and I really like it. Our first round of pancakes we did with one of the recipes that came in the booklet. I had put the heat on the stove a little too high, so they were getting a little too dark for our taste, so I turned the stove down to low, and things rolled along nicely from there. It takes a little practice to get the hang of flipping them, but it's really not that hard. I do suggest non stick spray as that will make them flip easier. I know the other review said that hers started to rust right away, and if you don't keep it oiled it will, as ours started to a little as well. We just wiped it dry and put a light coating of oil on it and it's been fine ever since. We really enjoy it and have tried several of the recipes that came with it. The little extras that come with it aren't too exciting, the brush sort of disenegrated and the injector is too small to really do anything with it, but the handle cover is nice as well as the sugar shaker.

The Breadman BK2000B 2-1/2-Pound Bakery Pro Bread Maker
Get the bread maker that makes it easy to bake like a pro and really bring home the bakery. This unique, 2-1/2-pound bread machine offers a wide range of features that you won\'t find anywhere else. You\'ll enjoy all your favorite baked goods at home, with exceptional results you\'d expect from a baking professional.

Breadman Exclusive Features
We start with a dual bread pan baking system, which allows you to bake one standard loaf up to 2-1/2 pounds or use the side-by-side 1-pound loaf pans to make two one-pound loaves of bread simultaneously. This way, you can make a traditional whole wheat bread for dinner and bake a dessert bread for after the meal at the same time.

Inside the bread pans, our exclusive patented collapsible kneading paddles collapse automatically before baking begins, to prevent the paddles from sticking in the bottom of the loaf as it bakes. This keeps the paddles out of your baked bread, to help prevent rips and tears caused in the bottom of the loaf by removing the paddles. It\'s perfect for better loaves and unbroken sandwich bread.

Our final exclusive patented feature is our automatic fruit and nut dispenser. This handy feature allows you to add up to 2/3 cups of fruit and nuts into the dispenser to release automatically at the right time for perfect fruit and nut bread without waiting around. Instead of waiting around to add the fruits and nuts into a loaf at the add ingredient beep, the machine does it for you automatically. This way, your family can enjoy hot baked cinnamon raisin bread for breakfast without waking up before the sun rises to add the raisins.

Extended Program Options
In addition to these Breadman exclusive features, the Bakery Pro Bread machine offers a wide variety of your favorite programming options including low carb, gluten free, dough and jam. You also get rapid bake settings on white, whole wheat and sweet loaves, as well as a handy bake-only setting for specialty baking with ease.

This model also features our up to 15-hour delay bake timer that lets you adjust the delay anywhere from one to fifteen hours. In addition, you have a 60-minute keep warm cycle that keeps finished loaves warm for up to one hour, plus a 7-minute power failure protection system that saves program settings for 7 minutes in case of a power outage so you can still get a great loaf even if there\'s a surge or brown out.

Bonus Accessories
The Bakery Pro comes with 3 bread pans; one bread pan allows you to bake up to a 2-1/2-pound loaf, while the two 1-pound bread pans allow you to bake two different loaves at the same time side-by-side. In addition, we give you a collapsible measuring cup and adjustable measuring spoon to help you get easy, exact measurements for the best loaves of bread. The Use & Care manual comes in an attractive, spiral-bound booklet along with over 100 unique recipes to excite your taste buds and inspire your baking creativity.
