Great Gift!, (What's this?) I got this as a gift for one of my bosses - it was something he wanted anyway.
Cookin' it old school, (What's this?) I received this cast iron pan as an engagement gift from my aunt and uncle 26 years ago. Over the years my mom has tried several different pans made out of different materials, but she can never pull off the quality aebleskiver that I get using this old-fashioned work horse! My daughter wanted to make aebleskiver for friends at college, so I got her this pan because I knew it would work for her.
Yes, making aebleskiver is time-consumer, but oh-so-worth it! My 3rd generation (or maybe older!) recipe includes buttermilk and you whip the egg whites separately and fold them into the batter.
Here are some tips:
*Never try to cut calories by using cooking spray - the aebleskiver will always stick. Put a little butter in each cup and turn pan to coat.
*I turn my aebleskiver with an ice pick that once belonged to my grandmother. She used it for aebleskiver, too! A metal skewer also works well.
Aebeleskiver, (What's this?) This pan works well. We've owned one of these for a few years now and use it occasionally. There is no ("non-stick" a.k.a. "poison") coating on the pan, we just use a little butter. The grand kids really like the aebelskivers; we put different types of fruit in them. Purchased a couple more of them for the daughers-in-law.
aebeleskiver pan, (What's this?) nice cast iron but much smaller than the one my gramma used- TOO little- go for the 9 in. 9 cup size.
Great Aebelskiver Pan!, You've got to be patient. You will not be an aebelskiver making pro in one or two episodes. It takes practice. I mean think about it, you've got the bottom of the skiver all golden brown to perfection, the middle filled with apples or apple sauce, and now you need to flip the golden side to the top and the raw side to the bottom.
What chutzpah to think you will do it perfectly right off. Relax, turn the heat down a bit if it's going too fast for you and using a knife and spoon, gently release the cooked bottom and flip it to the top.
It really helps to add about and 1/8 of a teaspoon of oil to each hole before adding the batter.
Too small, (What's this?) I ordered this instead of the one on Williams Sonoma because it looked similar but cost much less. I guess you really do get what you pay for. It is very small and it took a long time to make enough for 5 people.
AWFUL METAL TASTE-WOULDN'T GO AWAY, (What's this?)
Food stuck badly, (What's this?) Even after seasoning this pan per instructions twice, my recipe stuck in the pan and I threw the pan away. I don't have time for something like this. I will buy an aluminum non stick pan instead.
Very happy so far!, (What's this?) I am very happy with this pan. I have used it twice. I seasoned it as directed w/ some butter and I have had no trouble w/ sticking. I went with the cast iron pan because it was less expensive than other pans and I wouldn't have to worry about scratching the non-stick surface off. I use a chopstick to flip the pancakes and my family loves them. I have tried putting apple and banana in the middle and both are good. The price is so good I may just pick up a second one and get the cooking done twice as fast.
Cast Iron construction for even heat distribution.Stovetop or oven.Hand wash recommended. Professional chefs consider cast-iron pans to be precision cooking tools, as these dependable pans enable precise control of cooking temperatures. Their heat retention qualities allow for even cooking temperature without hot spots. Cast-iron pans can be used on top of the stove or to bake in the oven. The Aebleskiver Pan is designed for making the traditional Danish spherical pancakes. Aebleskiver are cooked by frying in a special pan wíth several hemi-spherical indentations in the bottom of the pan.
