Lodge Pro-Logic Cast-Iron Aebleskiver Pan Review

Lodge Pro-Logic Cast-Iron Aebleskiver Pan

(More customer reviews)
I've been cooking aebleskivers for several years in an excellent no-name cast iron pan that I bought in Solvang ten years ago. It is very well broken in with a smooth non-stick patina in all seven indents. I want to teach my sons how to cook aebleskivers themselves because they will be out on their own soon, and it never hurts to be able to attract a woman who loves Danish delicacies!
Therefore, I have been looking to buy some additional aebleskiver pans and I was excited to see this new pan from Lodge, so I ordered one to give it a try. I like the design a lot and am impressed with how it heats up quickly and holds it's temperature nicely. The first batch of aebleskivers had some sticking, but I expected that. I will need to use it a lot more before it has the same non-stick surfaces as my old pan (no, it's not for sale!), but I can tell that this pan will get there with use.
By the way, I've found that there are many recipes for aebleskivers and several different techniques for cooking them. I'm sure that they all will work well with some practice, but I'll describe the one that I've settled on, because it is so easy:
Heat the pan at a medium-low setting. Take about two cups of prepared pancake mix (I use Krusteaz Buttermilk) and add a couple of teaspoons of sugar. Mix it in and stir in enough cold water to make the consistency about the same as you would for drop bisquits. Don't overmix it and let it sit for awhile to rise a bit before you cook it. Put a little butter or margerine in each indent and add about a teaspoonful of batter to each indent (If you're new to aebleskivers, I recommend trying only three at once.) I then drizzle a little butter on the edges of each indent. After about a minute, I use a knitting needle (or chopstick) to turn each aebleskiver one quarter turn. I add a little more butter and then turn them so the round side is up. I keep turning them with a spoon until they're done. (You'll just have to break one of them open to check, because it's dependent on your batter and temperature.)
Once you get it down (usually after a few rejects), serve them in threes on a small plate with thinned out raspberry jam and powdered sugar. Once you eat them, you'll understand why people go through all this just to make a pancake that looks like a racquetball!

This seasoned and ready to use Danish Cake pan is also called an "Aebleskiver, which means "Sliced Apples" in Danish, is excellent for making Danish "pancake balls".Considered a specialty bakeware item, the little round cups are filled with dough and as it starts cooking, the chef uses a little wooden stick to "flip" it into a little ball which can then be filled with fruit, such as sliced apples.It has a9" diameter and is 16 5/8" long.The impressions are 3 1/4" in diameter and 1" deep.

Pancake Puffs Cast Iron Set Review

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.

Pancake Puffs is a non-stick, cast iron pan that adds pizzazz to every meal!Allows the chef to create up to 7 perfect puffs at the same time. Includes quick and easy recipe book, set of flipping sticks, and handle holder.From the Manufacturer
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.
