Aunt Else's 9-hole Cast Iron Aebleskiver Pan Review

I adore my pan, but still in the process of leaning ho to make them perfectly rounded. It was a pain to cure and made my house smell kinda metallic for a while. You do need to use it a few times before it becomes non stick IMO, so make sure to oil it really really well. I totally recommend it if you want a nice Aelbeskiver pan because all the other ones I've seen seem pretty cheap and the ones on those infomercials are not the traditional rounds like these. You can use this pan for other things as well, so plan to experiment! I do! I am giving 4 stars because it was a pain to cure, but other than that it's pretty awesome well made pan! It's super heavy too and will last foreverrrrrrrrrr. Your great great great grandkids will be able to use it someday!

Æbleskiver - pronounced EB-el-sku-wyr, a Danish word meaning apple slice.Traditional Danish spherical pastry, somewhat similar in taste and texture to an American pancake, but light and fluffy like a popover. Æbleskiver are cooked on the stove top in an æbleskiver pan.Æbleskiver are traditionally filled with a slice of apple, but can be made to suit a range of tastes from sweet to savory, and are often topped with syrup, jam or applesauce.Considered a specialty bakeware item, the 9 holes or wells are filled with batter and as it starts cooking, the chef uses a chopstick or knitting needle to "turn" it into a ball. The pan has a 8" wide and is 13 3/4" long. The holes or wells are 2 1/4" in diameter and 1 1/8" deep.Aunt Else's own design!

Takoyaki Pan #H5180 Review

Takoyaki Pan #H5180

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.
