Taiyaki Japanese Fish-shaped Pancake Double Pan, Made in Korea

Fabulous Taiyaki Pan!
This teriyaki pan is very easy to use. It is well made and requires very little other than common sense to produce outstanding teriyaki. Preheat the pan on both sides over low to medium heat. Spray both sides with PAM or other non-stick spray. No need to brush the pan with vegetable oil. Do not overfill the molds. Pour enough batter in one side of each mold to fill the side about 2/3 full. Then add about 1 1/2 Tablespoons of filling, Then lightly top the filling and batter with additional batter. Close the mold, and heat each side over low to medium heat for 3 minutes per side. It will work perfectly. The pan is very easy to clean. You cannot go wrong with this pan if you use it correctly.

Great Buy
We’ve had our pan for a couple of weeks and have made taiyaki with the pan 6 times. Two of the times our kids (14 & 12 years old) followed the directions on the box and were able to make some by themselves without any problems.The taiyaki pan has a good weight and is easy to handle. It is level and sits on our gas grate without tipping over. The plates are hinged and do not come apart. There is a nonstick coating all over the pan (inside and out) making overfills easy to clean and remove.  Most overfilled cooked on batter falls off once it is cooked through. Tougher ones were easily cleaned using dish soap and a soft sponge. Very little oil was needed. We brushed oil on the pan for the first set and about every fifth set as needed.The pan works best if it is preheated before using which helped prevent the first pancake from sticking. We found using medium low heat cooks the pancakes to a more even golden color.CON: Hinged so the pans do not come apart. Not a big issue. We have other kinds of pancake pans that come a part and makes cleaning a little easier.PRO: Very easy to use. Great non stick surface and cooks evenly.UPDATE: We found out the pans can come apart by accident. We’ve only open the pans 180 degrees (or flat) not wanting to over bend or break the hinges. But while drying around the hinges, we opened the pans 270 degrees and it came easily came apart.

Adorable and easy to use!
I ordered the CookKing Taiyaki Pan because I love making both sweet and savory waffles, and I wanted a pan that will allow me to put more ‘stuffing’ inside than a traditional waffle maker. This pan does exactly that! I do wish that the taiyaki were larger so I could stuff them more, but this pan is perfect for making two medium sized taiyaki.It arrived the day after I placed my order, and after pre-washing it I used it that evening. While I have not yet tried the recipe printed on the box, I have made taiyaki using a boxed pancake/waffle mix and stuffed with peanut butter and honey. YUM! You have to be careful not to put too much filling, particularly if it is something sugary (like honey) because it can ooze out and burn on the stovetop. I have a smooth ceramic stovetop, and the burnt honey took a while to get clean. That was the only time I had an ooze problem. I also made some savory taiyaki using a plain batter stuffed with cheese and pesto. My family love the cute fish shape and I plan to make more variations with stuffings like applesauce, chocolate, banana, taco meat and many others.The Taiyaki Pan is very easy to clean. I didn’t realize it would disassemble into two pieces, which was a pleasant surprise; you simply open it beyond 180 degrees and slide the two halves in opposite directions. After washing it is easy to reassemble in the same manner.I can’t wait to see how many more kinds of taiyaki I can make with this great little pan! I may also order another one that makes the open-mouthed fish that is then easily filled with a variety of ingredients.This is my honest and unbiased opinion of this product. I may receive a rebate from the manufacturer as part of the CookKing Awareness Program, but a positive review was not solicited from me.

taiyaki r nice
For a $20 uni-tasker on amazon im pleasantly surprised at the build quality. The handle is firmly fixed, the material is also flexible but not in a bad way (the handles have a little clasping ring to keep them together as needed. the flexibility helps with clasping and unclasping). The actual pan itself is decent weight.If you open the pan past 180 degrees you’ll find the two halves detatch from each other. This is a much better hinge design than having a cheap tin pin. The hinge for this pan is actually part of the whole pan’s molding itself and you can easily put it together as you took it apart.As for the coating time will tell how it holds up. If using a filling i’d do a thin cylinder of red bean so the red bean doesnt break through either side of the fishie.no regrats purchase. i imagine cooking taiyaki would be easier with a squeeze bottle or a kettle to pour or something

good to prepare both sweet and salty Taiyaki

Bought this for making Taiyaki for a Japanese food dinner party. The fish are a great size, the non-stick coating worked well, though I lightly coated it with oil on my first batch. The Taiyaki turned out perfectly. Easy to use for a first time user.We’ve used it a few times since, just for family brunch with pancake batter. It’s a worthy purchase. Delivery was quick, too.
