Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Norpro 3964 Cream Canoe Pan With Bonus 9 Piece Decorating Set
Customer Review: VEGAN TWINKIES®!
Summary: 4 Stars
After coming across a recipe for vegan Twinkies® online, I knew I had to get my hands on a DIY Twinkie® kit. Hostess makes its own "official" Twinkie® bake set which, while totally cute and retro and nostalgia-inducing, is both expensive and hard to find online. Also, the kit includes all sorts of items that I don't have any use for: in addition to the canoe pan and icing injector (which purportedly is a useless piece of junk), there's a rubber spatula (I have several already!), Twinkie® carrying case (these babies won't get any further than my kitchen counter!), and recipe booklet (not vegan, no thanks!). Luckily, generic versions of the set - such as this canoe pan and decorating kit from Norpro - are easy to find online.
The Norpro set comes with the two tools essential to making vegan Twinkies®: a canoe pan and icing injector. Though I've only used it once, the canoe pan is heavy-duty and looks as though it will hold up over time. My only complaint is that the set only comes with one eight-cavity pan - whereas every recipe I've found online produces 16 Twinkies®! Unless you buy a second pan, you either have to bake the batch in two halves or make cupcakes using the extra batter. (Which is just as delicious, don't get me wrong - but it's not really the same now, is it?)
As for the injector: it's constructed of plastic and is a little on the cheap side, but once I got a feel for it, it proved easy enough to use. I found that the cream goes in much more readily if I poke holes into the Twinkies® beforehand (using chopsticks, sideways at three points). Still, you'll have to stop to refill the injector several times, and the apparatus is difficult to put back together with greasy hands (the cap sort of snaps onto the tube, but the connection isn't especially secure). If you own a conventional cake decorating set - i.e., a pastry bag with tips - you may be better off using that instead. The injector set included in this kit comes with nine pieces: eight tips and the injector itself.
All in all, I'm happy with the purchase - but not too keen on buying a whole 'nother set, just for the extra pan.
Next up: vegan corn dogs!
(I've been vegan since the mid-aughts and allergic to milk my entire life, so I've never partaken in the store-bought, dairy-laden confections. Some local vegan bakeries make their own versions - Golden Girls, holla! - but these tend to be pricey and hard to find. Being able to make my own desserts and candies is a real coup. Score: Team Vegan!)
