    Your results are not atypical. I've seen a few other reviews that had results that were even worse than yours.
    Those "perfect pancakes" look more like a perfect disaster.
    BTW, #ChristyBuyers tried it on a griddle... it still failed.

      Chris Nemec I'm Very upset I had purchased this product and I tried to see other people's thoughts are, and I'm not sure if this will work we did get it at a cheap price so it is not a big deal.Although I'm very concerned I'll see if my version will work

      Chris Nemec Your first sentence is written weirdly. Most people just use “Normal”, not “ Not atypical”.

    • @kingpickle3712
      @kingpickle3712 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Because the antonym of atypical is fucking normal. To use "not atypical" is saying normal and very unusaul. It's not proper writing.

    • @ShintogaDeathAngel
      @ShintogaDeathAngel 5 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      If they said his results were just 'atypical' they'd be saying his pancakes didn't turn out like other people's who used this thing.
      Just saying. I also don't see an issue with using 'atypical' instead of 'not normal' - you don't like people using more intellectual language or something?

      A lot of these things are quite good for people who are differently abled, when they work as intended of course. If you're able to use a spatula and pan as normal then I wouldn't waste money on this thing, mostly because it doesn't do what it promises.

      Anyone who has ever cooked at all is laughing at it. My father picked one up and it was a struggle not to laugh at him for buying it.
      If you want round Egg McMuffin style eggs or similarly portioned pancakes, don't waste your money on this. Buy a $.99 can of tuna or chicken and take the top and bottom off it. You now have a much better form to use that is easily flipped with a spatula and tongs.

  • @4819Brian

  • @sockenfraualfred6324
    @sockenfraualfred6324 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I am wondering.. how the eggs should stay in the form when first you made them loose from the form. (Sorry for maybe worse English).

  • @nancyansel6793
    @nancyansel6793 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I did not get directions with mine, so I didn't know to spray the silicone . I also poured them too full. It works best in a 12" skillet so there is room for it to lay flat. I sprayed with oil the second batch and filled the openings half full. Keep temp to medium heat and flip when all of them are brown. The last 2 will be lighter, but none of them will be too done. It worked just as it should. And with the eggs, they fell thru for you because you loosened them before you flipped them. This was not a fair review at all.

  • @jaqua2
    @jaqua2 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Im suprised the product was boxed folded. I think that it's been misshapped for a long time which is why its not flat in the pan!? Not sure if I am right but makes sense to me. Great review, was thinking of buying as the tv ad looked great lol

  • @prebenkul

    I think its made for those like really flat pans, that doesn't curve early or that doesn't have a high outer lip like the first 2 tests. Id say like a 12-15 inch pan instead. Obviously not lower.

    On the flipping fantastic. Instructions read HOLD down the flipping in the pan with a spatula 15-20 seconds then pour liquid in The holes. Try it ! ! Also on the smoke -less grill - put water in the black tray approx 1/2 cup to the water line. MY burgers & 1inch rib eye steak had little to none smoke.

  • @Yunginspirit

    You put too much batter in the pan. There is a line (barely visible) to where the batter should be filled. Best to use on a grill.

    • @Freakinreviews
      @Freakinreviews  7 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Too much batter the first time yes, but not the second time. I assume you mean "griddle" and not "grill." The commercial only shows it being used with a pan, which is why I attempted to duplicate what they show in the advertising.
