And look at that.
Hello and welcome to in the kitchen with Matt, I am
your host, Matt Taylor.
Today I have a testing Tik Tok video for you.
I saw a video on TikTok where the people were making a big
pancake in a rice cooker.
And so I thought I would test that out and show you how to do
it and how well it actually works.
It's going to be pretty fun.
So moving forward this year, I'll be doing a fair amount of
these testing Tik Tok videos and other videos that I see
just to test them out and see how well they actually work in
person and share them all with you.
So this one is making a giant pancake and a rice cooker
pretty easy to do.
If I can do it, you can do it.
Before we move on, make sure to subscribe to my channel and hit
that notification bell so you don't miss out on any of
my new videos.
Let's get started down below.
In the description box, you'll find a list of the
ingredients and their amounts.
This is the exact same pancake recipe as I have here on my
channel my thick, fluffy pancake video here.
And also the recipe is on my website as well.
I'll drop a link down below where you can find that recipe
if you want, but you can use any pancake recipe for this.
All right, so let's start by making this pancake batter.
I'm going to start with two eggs, two large eggs,
one teaspoon of vanilla extract.
I'll give this a good whisk.
I'm going to add one and three fourths cup of milk.
I'm using whole milk, but you can use two percent,
one percent skim milk, even almond milk.
Well, add in one fourth cup of white granulated sugar.
Oh, OK.
And now one fourth cup of butter, I'm just going to
melt this in the microwave just until it's barely melted.
We don't want it to be super hot.
You could also do this in a pot on the stovetop.
All right.
And once that butter is melted, I'm just going to
slowly pour it and whisk as I'm doing that.
I just like this.
Fantastic.
And then now I have two cups of all purpose flour, and I'm just
going to
put that in there,
along with two tablespoons of baking powder
and one teaspoon of salt.
And we'll just give this a good mix.
And you certainly can do this with a hand mixer if you want.
OK, there we go, looking great.
And now the main part of this show episode is the
rice cooker.
OK.
And I'll put a link down below to the rice cooker
that I'm using.
I do like this rice cooker.
The aroma brand.
I've owned an aroma, style or aroma brand, rice cookers for
like 15 years.
I really like them.
And so what I did is I added some oil, just a little bit of
oil on the inside and wiped it around.
You could also just spray it with some cooking spray,
and that just makes the large pancake not stick.
And then I have it set to warm.
This particular rice cooker does not have a dial, a lot of
the common rice cookers here in the states.
They just have an on or off or a warm or on or a warm and cook
like this one.
And so there's no timer for this.
It's kind of hard to do this type of cake or pancake.
Essentially, what we're doing is we're steaming it.
This is going to become a little steamer.
And so I put in the.
I put in that little bit of oil just so it doesn't stick,
and then I'm just going to pour all this batter right
in there.
And I want to point out something that just because I'm
showing you how to do this, it doesn't mean I recommend
this method as the best method to make a make a pancake.
I'm just trying to show you or show you how it can be done or
if it can be done and how it turns out.
And what I think about it and if I will continue to do it in
the future, so maybe that'll help you out as well.
But I always love trying and experimenting with new things.
So here we go.
Put that in there.
I have it set to warm and I'm going to put this on.
And now I'm going to let this sit for an hour just on warm.
And then I'll come back and then I'm going to turn it on to
the full cook setting.
And then when I do that a couple of times, it only stays
on cook for like five minutes and then it comes off.
And then you have to wait for a little bit and then put put it
back on, and we do that about three times and we'll do that
process or show you that.
And then we will take a look at the final product on
to that step.
All right.
It's been about an hour when I show you what it looks
like in here.
Now it's really still damp on the top, so it needs
to go longer.
The edges are starting to get more done.
I'm going to put the keep it top on here and I'm going to
push it on Cook.
And if it doesn't go down right away, I just need to wait
for a few minutes before I can do that.
That is the problem with trying to use a this style
of rice cooker.
They're not meant to stay on for long periods of
time for Cook.
It's just meant to be on for 15 minutes to where it
cooks the rice.
It can be on warm for quite a while, and so I'm just going
to wait for a few minutes and then I'll push that down,
and then it's going to go for another five to 10 minutes and
then it should be done at that point.
All right, time to check it.
And I can see it's way more dry on the top, and it's dry
to the touch.
It feels a little bit spongy on the top.
That's how it's supposed to.
That's what happens when it gets steamed and it's pulled
away from the edges here.
I might take this little skewer here and just test it.
Came out clean.
It's ready to go.
And now I'm going to remove it from.
This thing, OK?
And I'm going to just kind of turn it a little bit like this
just to loosen it up.
Feels like it's nice and loose.
And then I'm just going to
boom.
Look at that, as I would expect at the bottom is a lot
more brown, but it's not burnt.
It's just really nice.
And dark brown doesn't smell.
Maybe it smells a little tiny burnt, but it's
not too bad.
It's nice and crusty on the bottom.
And then different shades of brown.
Pretty cool.
And now it's cut into it.
I'm just going to cut it like a pie wedge.
Let me ask you using a serrated knife.
It feels very spongy, very sponge, like which if
you've ever made steamed cakes before, it's going to be
very similar to that.
OK.
And look at that.
It's all nice and cooked.
It's very spongy and it feels a little dense.
Pretty much what you would expect from a steamed cake.
Pretty cool.
And now let's give it a taste.
No, I'm not going to put a bunch of syrup and powdered
sugar on this.
I just want to taste it by itself.
But normally, if you would eat something like this, you would
put how you would fix normal pancakes.
Hmm.
It tastes like a really thick pancake.
I can tell that it was tasty, steamed to me, but it's moist,
it's not super dry and has like a spongy taste to it.
But it's pretty good, actually.
Add some syrup and some powdered sugar.
Good to go.
Fresh fruit.
So this is something that I may not make all the time, but it
is fun to do.
And it's a different way to make a pancake.
So if you have a rice cooker, maybe you might want
to try this.
If you do, let me know what you think.
I'm Matt Taylor.
