Today I'm going to try out and show you
this cooking gadget
for flipping pancakes.
The idea is, you cook 7 small pancakes
inside each one of these rings, then
simply flip them all over to cook the other side.
It's made of silicone, and it just sits in the
pan, like this.
You need to make sure it sits flat on the base of the
pan, so the mixture doesn't run out underneath.
If your pan is too small you'll find it lifted up
at the base and the mixture will just run out.
So, before you start, do make sure it sits flat on the pan.
I put my pancake ingredients in a bottle and gave it
a good shake to make the mixture.
If you want the recipe there's a link in the description.
Warm up the pan,
and I'm gonna cook mine on a relatively low heat.
I just tip some of the mixture into each one
and left it to sit there for a few minutes to cook.
then I tried lifting up the gadget to flip them
and this is what happened.
As you can see, it was a bit of a disaster.
The mixture is stuck to the gadget
and some of the pancakes also stuck to the pan.
So I cleaned up the mold and the pan and decided to
try again, however this time I'm using some butter
to see if that will stop things sticking.
I greased up the pan
and I also greased up the mold.
I set it in the pan to try it out again.
If you need to, you can push the mold down onto the pan,
like this, to stop it curling up
or lifting off the base, which lets the mixture run out underneath.
After a couple of minutes I gave it a test,
and it looked a lot more promising.
So I decided to give it a try again.
It took a little bit of shaking to get them to fall out,
but this time it actually worked pretty well.
They had just started turning nice and golden and I was able to
flip them all together without any problem.
And after another minute or so they're ready to serve.
You can tip them straight out onto a plate.
And they're a really fun uniform size.
I like to serve mine with maple syrup
and maybe some fruit on the side.
And they taste amazing.
Next, I wanted to try using it to make some mini omelets.
So I broke three eggs into a jug,
added a splash of milk,
some pepper and salt,
chopped up some herbs to put in
and gave it all a whisk.
Then I grated some cheese,
and added that too.
I used some butter to grease up the pan and the mold again.
Let it warm up
and spooned in some of the mixture into each ring.
I tried to hold the mold down to stop it running out of the bottom
and I poured in the rest of the mixture.
Then let it slowly cook.
Unfortunately, I found the mixture did leak out
despite trying to stop it, and it ran all around the pan.
I left it to cook for a few more minutes, and tried flipping it over.
As you can see, it was a bit of a disaster again.
You can see the mixture just leaked out all over the pan,
so I don't think it really had a chance.
I just flipped these over with a spatula, and cooked as normal.
It might not look too pretty, but it tasted
great. If you've tried one of these pancake flipping gadgets
you can let me know how you got on in the comments below.
