Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of SCI Scandicrafts 7-Cup Aebeleskiver Pan, Cast Iron
Customer Review: Great Aebelskiver Pan!
Summary: 5 Stars
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. It both seasons the pan and keeps that little golden ball from sticking.
I like this pan, I like that it has seven instead of nine holes. The heft of the pan is terrific, allowing it to heat up evenly and with a little adjusting of the heat source you can maintain an even temperature.
If your pan is not a batter dribbled mess, just wipe it out thoroughly with a paper towel. If you use water on it, heat the stove back up, put it back on to absorb the water so your aebelskiver pan does not rust.
I love mine.
Customer Review: Makes great Aebelskiver!
Summary: 5 Stars
This Aebelskiver pan is tops as it is cast iron, heats evenly, and is easy to clean.
The pan comes pre-seasoned, and only needs a wipe down with a damp cloth to clean. As it's cast iron, be sure to set the heat higher that you'd cook with at first, just to heat it up. After the first batch is cooked, you can turn the heat down a bit and the pan will retain its heat for the next batches.
For Aebelskiver recipes, check your favorite Danish cookbook. Add apple slices to make Aebelsvupper. Serve with jam and sour cream. If you are still looking for a good Aebelskiver recipe, you can always just use pancake batter as a substitute. Not quite authentic, but still quite good. Melt a little butter in each round of the pan, fill 1/3 of the way with batter. When the batter has cooked a minute or two, and is brown on the underside, flip over and cook another 2 minutes, creating light, fluffy, round Aebelskiver.
Customer Review: We recreated our traditional recipes!
Summary: 5 Stars
We use this to make our traditional Aebeleskivers (called Appo, Appam, Appe or Paniyaram in South India) Due to its weight I could not get this pan from India. I never expected to find this traditional pan on amazon for such a excellent price.
It takes a batch or two of aebeleskivers to season it well. Follow the directions in the booklet which comes along with this pan. We also threw away the first batch of aebeleskiver we made in this pan. That's a tradition at my home with all cast iron products---the second batch onwards tastes good.
Customer Review: Very happy so far!
Summary: 5 Stars
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.Customer Review: Aebeleskiver
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
