Pancake Puff Pan - anyone have one?

18 years ago

DS wanted one when he saw the infomercial on TV. I saw it at Big Lots for a discounted price so bought it today. Basically you use pancake batter and make puff ball type pancakes. You can also put filling on the inside with a Filling Injector. Not sure how that works exactly. I guess I will be trying it out for our Sunday breakfast.

Anyone make them and how did they turn out? Any hints?

AAH! An aebelskeever pan! Danish pancakes!
Yes....turn out great....use a wooden skewer or a knitting needle to turn them....turn them a little at a time.
Somewhere on the web is a video showing how to cook them...it's a little bit of a trick to turn a little at a time so they fill in and brown all over....but good and fun.

Does Anyone Have JCPenney's Brand Non-Stick Pans?
Q
Comments (8)
Just to follow up my OP. When I went to JC Penney, I ended up buying two pans. Penney's was having a huge sale on the Circulon 12" non-stick, originally $59, on sale for $17.99! So I bought that Circulon 12" pan, and also the Cooks Tri-Ply linked above, except in the 10" size. I decided I didn't like the handles on the Cooks hard-anodized, so that choice was out of the running. The 10" pan size is actually more practical, since I use it more frequently. But I am glad to have the 12" size for those times I have a big amount for the pan. Having now used both the Circulon and the Tri-Ply non-stick, I'd say the Tri-Ply is slightly preferable. Mostly for cleaning; they both cook equally well. The Circulon, with its tiny ridges (that help with the non-stick ability) is a slightly bit harder to clean cause you have to make sure all the ridges are clean. It's not a big deal, maybe another 30-45 seconds of cleaning over the Tri-Ply nonstick. Hope my post helps anyone else looking for non-stick pans that are inexpensive but still cook well. I know there is another thread on this Forum where someone doesn't like their T-Fal nonstick. I saw those T-Fals in the store, and felt they were really lightweight, compared to other pans in that same price ballpark. I am glad I chose the JC Penney's Cooks Tri-Ply, and would recommend it.

Found this while looking for pancake puffs, and thought I'd share. I will try them with egg substitute. The Spike seasoning, could not find, but sure any seasoning will work. Just sharing! EGG "MUFFINS" (makes 12) 10-12 eggs 2 T fat free half and half 1-2 tsp. Spike Seasoning 1 1/2- 2 cups diced meat: canadian bacon, ham, cooked turkey sausage or cooked veggie sausage 1 1/2- 2 cups grated low fat cheese (I like sharp cheddar or feta) Optional, but highly recommended, 3 green onions diced small. Preheat oven to 375. Use regular or silicone muffin pan, 12 muffin size. If using silicone pan, spray with nonstick spray. If using regular muffin pan, put two paper liners into each slot, then spray liner with nonstick spray. In the bottom of the muffin cups layer diced meat, cheese and green onions. You want the muffin cups to be 3/4 full, with just enough room to pour a little egg around the other ingredients. Beat eggs well with the half and half (you could use milk). Pour egg into each muffin cup until it is full to the brim, nearly overflowing. Bake 25-30 minutes until muffins have risen above the rim of the muffin cups and are slightly browned and set. These freezer well. For best results, thaw in refrigerator before microwaving. I like to wrap them in a paper towel when reheating in microwave to soak up some of the liquid that is sometimes released.

Soffits gone! Anyone for Blueberry pancakes?
Q
Comments (28)
Weird - my phone didn't show me all of the posts - so accept my apology for not acknowledging all. Scrappy - get a second opinion - I am so excited to get rid of the soffits! I don't have great before pics but here are a few - think of the weight loss pictures - the pre pictures are always fuzzy and the after pictures are always clear and better shots! We were also away when they started - so didn't get to see the first dissection of the soffits (but I saw them through the holes) One plumbing run and vent to outside inside soffit (pre) Same area post (but still not finished - the vent is still in place) Second drain run post - but still needs to have the bracing added Copper pipes re-routed through beams (used to go around beams and through soffit - we had brass craft PVC pipes that were replaced when they all sprung leaks at the joints) The duct work also went through this soffit - this is before demolition Kentucky7 - thanks - love your state! Great bicycling!! Bee - you are so funny! I bet you will have a drawer with shapes for your kitchen gadgets! I did have stickies identifying where everything will go post reno - Found a home for everything but the onions, potatoes and tomatoes. The KD says - what is wrong with the pantry (it is a walk in). I said it was great if I want to grow potatoes and onions - but it is too warm due to the hot water pipes going up the wall. (not part of the reno unfortunately) Christine - My outside HF lights took forever - I will keep the old ones until the new ones arrive.... Jody - Thanks - I packed away all the pots and pans and was surprised to be able to cook - now where did I put those pots! Sorry DH, guess, we have to go out to eat tonight! Thanks again for your support - it is very therapeutic! Pack for 2 trips Pack 2 offices for a new job after zillions of years Pack a kitchen Take care of DM long distance! Etc

Does anyone have a Kraftmaid Base Pots and Pan Pull Out?
Q
Comments (10)
Melanie, thanks for the follow up. "Glass Land" came from the fact that I have a "plastic land" - that's my husband's name for where all the rubbermaid/gladware/and, yes, we have one of those carousel storage systems is. If I could figure out how to embed a picture in these posts, I'd attach a picture of my current glass land. I have everything stacked on top of each other - DH refuses to put dishes away in it. I feel like drawers won't help with accessibility very much - I'll still have to stack items on top of each other. Diamond actually has a couple of pictures that show this same pull-out really loaded up, and it looks very versitile. Both pullouts can slide separately so there's no reaching under and over things. I still would have to stack items, no question, but it seems like a better option than just a regular 2 pullout trays. Maybe? http://www.diamondcabinets.com/Lowes/storage/storage_detail.cfm?sectionID=3&imgID=101 http://www.diamondcabinets.com/Lowes/storage/storage_detail.cfm?sectionID=3&imgID=100

I've been eyeing those pans at Williams-Sonoma for quite a while. If you go to their website and search for "pancake" under the recipes section, it'll give you 11 different variations for ebelskivers. Banana filled graham cracker pancakes, chocolate chocolate chip puffed pancakes, lemon-mascarpone filled, and many assorted fruit fillings. They all look so good! They also have a little video in the product listing section that shows you how to make them. Good luck!

Congrats and curses, Clare.

Congrats on your new toy. Maybe this book will help you use the pan in more, shall we say, well rounded applications.

Curses because I fell for the power of your suggestion and bought one online a few hours ago. Wasn't paying attention and I bought the small Norpro version. No biggie. Ha, that was funny.

Linda C - Thanks for the link. That was very helpful, especially with the turning part. I never would have figured that out. Now hopefully I will do it right tomorrow. It looks like fun!

jessyf - Naughty, naughty! I wonder if you could make meatballs in it? Enjoy your new toy too!

barnsmom - Everyone should have one!

Clare....even though it looks simple when Arne does it....it takes practice....lots of practice....I hope you have lots of hungry mouths to gobble up your mistakes!And one thing that Arne's video doesn't show is how to grease the pans....don't put a puddle of butter....just brush ro wipe the pan with melted butter or oil.

It worked!!! And they looked so cute! Both DH and DS really liked them. They are a winner! I also liked them for myself in regards to portion size. I just ate 2 little ones instead of a big pancake. Probably the same amount but it seemed like I was sticking to my diet more.

Yes, it is a little more difficult then it looks in the video. It takes awhile to master the technique. Keep turning, medium low heat and spray oil the pan each time worked for me. Also do the middle one last because it cooks the fastest.

They were also maybe more difficult because I used Krusteaz WW pancake mix. So some looked more like the surface of the moon then a nice smooth ball but they tasted good. And I served them with sauted apple slices (Staymen-Winesap from our tree) with a little powdered sugar and Penzeys cinnamon.
