Can I use it to make pancake or should I get a frying pan?

Yes you can. Our suggestion is to use a nonstick surface, the size of which matches how many pancakes you are making. A few silver dollar size would work in this pan, but only one larger at a time. A two burner nonstick griddle would probably be a better option, or an electric griddle. All-Clad does make an electric griddle as well.Chefs Corner Store

The flat area of this pan is not very large, and it's sides taper. In my opinion a fry pan would work better.

I would say yes. However, when we make pancakes we use a rectangular electric griddle. It's my opinion that this is a frying pan. I use it to make extra-crispy raw fried potatoes.

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..

This saute pan is so versatile. You can use it for pancakes too but maybe an overkill. Pancakes can be cooked in almost anything. This pan need more oil than usual to prevent sticking and when you're done, there's always a bit of scraping to do. But easy to scrape. Frankly, for pancakes I wont use this. Normal frying pan or griddle will do.

Sure, you can use this to make pancakes. The cooking surface will be smaller on this pan vs. a frying pan but if that doesn't matter to you it will be fine. I think you will have to use a decent amount of butter to avoid sticking.

Yes, you could make pancakes. You may want to consider a nonstick pan for pancakes, however.

The bottom of the pan is the same as a fry pan; but it is slightly deeper. Depending how large your pancake is you may have an issue flipping the pancake Hope this helps.

Hi...I'm sure you could use it to make pancakes...it is deep...but yes, I'd make pancakes in it if that's what you have. I use a long rectangle griddle to make my pancakes, but that's because I'm feeding a lot of people :)

I would buy the non stick if you plan to cook eggs. And this size is way too big for ccoking eggs. You can cook anything in this pan but you got to learn to cook a little different in all stainless steal.

I use it on a glass top stove and just put on two burners. Its a bit cooler in the center this way but not bad. Maybe an extra minute on the pancakes.

Yes, I've made pancakes in it before. I cook almost everything in my skillet.

I would recommend used a spoon or spatula for just dry ingredients. This is great for dry and liquid put together. Pancake mix, dough, cake mix, etc.

There is a recipe book with it, with a couple of recipes for omelets. I have not tried any. Just pancakes (with my own recipe). Works great with my pancakes. It is mainly a hot plate with a thermostat that seems to work very well for pancakes (better than my ceramic top stove). It does not tell you when the pancakes are ready but since it is open when they cook, you can tell. The hinge is just to turn the pancakes over and start cooking a new batch. Perfect so far.

I would not use it for frying as the hot oil expands and there is not high enough sides, also the non stick coating can not take such high heat. Use your dutch oven to fry.

When I purchased this product, my daughter and I use it for pancakes, but any able cook can use it and enjoy the product. I think the secret is to use it where it is most workable. Good product but need to use it by trial and error. Perhaps you need to use it for other things and see it's efficiency. We like it.

I think this is a great question to ask because I was very disappointed to see that there is no flat surface. Please check out my video on Youtube which I took on May 3, 2010. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tFk6fLI07MI We couldn't cook fried eggs but it works great for pancake. I bought it for cooking pancake!

If the pan is hot enough, yes it will. I've not used it for fried eggs, as the ridges make flipping them over challenging. Pancakes hold up better, but you still need to slide your spatula along the ridges, not crosswise into them.

Yes. I would use the waffle recipe for your pancake mix if it has one, but you can still use pancake recipe if you like. When I have used pancake batter in waffle maker, the waffles don't come out as crisp but they are OK otherwise.

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!

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

Sure! You can use it for steaming, boiling or deep frying. We used it last night for steaming veggies, seafood, and sausage. My dad uses his to deep fry turkey.

This was a gift. I am unsure whether you can fry with it. Contact the manufacture on that question

I think it depend on what you are trying to do. I was trying to make a scrambled edge to put on a muffin. I think it will work if I can get the heat right. I don't like my scrambled eggs dry.

The pan is pretty deep, so I don't see why not. I've done some pan frying but no deep frying in mine.
