Has anyone made scallion pancakes on this? If so can you get it to the appropriate crispy texture?

Just spoke to house chef and he said he would not recommend it. A traditional crepe pan would work.

I would try the recipe with half all-purpose, except I use unbleached white and do the other half with a whole wheat flour and see how it turns out. Good Luck!!

I actually make them from scratch. Rather "piddley" but worth the effort. There is no comparison. We did try Krusteaz and the texture was fine, but the taste didn't compare to scratch. Maybe adding extra vanilla would help. :)

I haven't tried pancakes on it, but it is great for French toast. Just be sure to use a little oil on it & heat the pan before cooking!

With some gentle prying, I am almost always able to remove the waffles without them splitting apart. Occasionally, I do not put enough oil in and end up with a torn waffle. Is the pan too hot when you pour the batter in? Is the oil burning? Also, I have found that, for some reason, the whole wheat recipe included on the package sticks a bit more than the other recipes. And make sure the pan is completely clean of any dried or burnt batter before cooking another waffle.

It'll make it as crispy as you want. Just keep it in the microwave about an extra two minutes. Any more than that would be burned.

Why not! However, if you're looking for a cooking vessel mainly for pancake, go get a frying pan as the side wall of this pan is high so it's hard to turn your pancakes. For pancake, I would use a nonstick frying pan. Since you don't need high temperature for pancakes, the non-stick surface will last four a long time..

Yes, I occasionally do make pancakes. I just generously oil the pan before use.

Yes the more seasoned it is, the closer it becomes to being virtually smooth. If you mean smooth like glass though, even my All-clad products have texture to some degree. For everything I use the skillet for, it's perfect.

I have never tried that yet. Sorry. I've only used in a skillet for making pancakes. doesn't quite make a good seal after pouring in the batter so there is a little running out underneath the silicone. Maybe thicker batter will eliminate this.

I have only cooked it as a cereal or side dish, but it would be a good idea to grind it and add it to my mixtures of pancake and bread mix, however,no more than a third of the buckwheat to reg flour for starters.It would be a little darker.

No, you use it basically the same way you would use Bisquick. There are some fabulous recipes on the Pamela's website at www.pamelaproducts.com. Just be sure that you get the recipes for the baking and pancake mix, because there are also recipes for the biscuit and scone mix. Enjoy!

I've never tried it, but I don't see why not. It's non-stick. The high sides might make it a little difficult to turn the pancakes versus a flat griddle.

I got one of the new rough finished Lodge cast iron pans. Food stuck to it until I honed it smooth with abrasives. Now it's great!

I tried every type of mix (store-bought and homemade) that I could think of. Always had a problem with batter leaking out and/or sticking to the heated plates. Also found this a nightmare to clean. I was very disappointed in this appliance :-(

I have never made churros. There is a cookie disc that I have used to make spritz cookies that look like churros. They are only about 1/4 inch thick. Maybe you could try that disc if the churro batter isn't too sticky?

I'm sorry. I bought it as a gift for my daughter, so it isn't here with me. I did use it at her apartment, and I can say it's big (so it can get heavy, but the two handles makes it easy to lift), and it works well. You don't need dangerous non-stick coatings - the tri-ply was great even for pancakes. (Follow the directions for heating.)
