How to Choose a Reliable Pancake Pan?

Pancakes – an original Russian dish. These are not only cooked and eaten on Shrovetide but are also stuffed with different fillings for the weekend breakfast or as the main course of dinner. To bake delicious pancakes, a reliable pan in the kitchen is enough.

Have you ever wondered why they say: “Bake pancakes” – because they are fried? It’s simple: Grandma didn’t have a gas or induction stove, but a typical Russian stove. The pan was placed inside the oven, and there is a ring of burning charcoal; the pancakes were baked, puffed and golden on both sides at the same time, and then removed from the intestines of the oven, laid on a plate, poured with melted butter and started eating Waiting to do.

What should a modern pancake pan be? A pancake pan should be the opposite of the pan in which the potatoes are fried, or the meat is stewed:

• With a thick bottom – from 6 mm – for uniform heating;
• The sides are not more than 1 cm and have a surface radius of 200 to 260 mm – for easy turning of pancakes;
• With a long handle – for the protection of the cook

Cast iron is tested for a reliable, durable alloy of the century. Iron alloy iron pan is good and evenly heated; it served the farm for a long time. However, it must be prepared before the first use: wash the pan with a soap solution, dry, anoint with vegetable oil, preheat the calcine 200 * in the oven for about 60 minutes and place it in a cool oven at the same time. After this simple operation, the pan is ready for use.

Do not wash the all-iron pan, as this shaft immediately comes in contact with water. Therefore, use pancakes only for cooking your pan. After frying, you need to cool it, grease it with vegetable oil, wipe it with a napkin and leave it in the cupboard until the next pancake is breakfast.

Copper pans are close to the thermal conductivity and durability of iron castings. They are difficult to care for, they are expensive, it is not advisable to store food cooked in them, and like cast iron, they are quite heavy. However, copper, on the other hand, has antibacterial properties, and its products are beautiful and stylish.

Teflon-coated aluminum pans are the most economical, modern, and easy to use the material. Wash them well in a light dishwasher, without too much cooking oil. What kind of pancakes can be cooked without oil? However, these pans are short-lived: Teflon coating does not like metal blades, eventually burn, and loses non-stick properties. These are not suitable for induction cookers.

Marble and ceramics have a stronger and more durable coating for thick-walled pancake pans. These covers are more eco-friendly, safer, easier to care for. Minus marble and ceramic frying pans – higher price than Teflon. Although this kind of pan will serve you for more than a year if minus?

An electronic crepe maker is another innovation in the market. This type of “oven” pancake does not burn; it warms evenly and bakes quickly. An electric crepe maker is very convenient for a large family Saturday breakfast. There are options for crepes so that you can bake two, four, or six pancakes at a time.

Corrosion-proof pancake pans are more suitable for professionals. They are difficult to use for home cooking and fun to care for. For stainless frying pans, there are rules for preliminary preparation and calcination. However, unlike frying iron pans, they need to be washed after each frying.
