Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Sante Cabin Kitchen Aebleskiver Pan
Customer Review: MADE IN CHINA
Summary: 3 Stars
I purchased this pan because I wanted a cast iron aebleskiver pan that featured the skirt around the bottom of the pan to help trap the heat from a gas stove. I could not find the country of origin on this listing or on the Sante company's website (Camp Chef). Nevertheless, I wanted the pan delivered quickly, so I ordered without calling Sante/Camp Chef the next day to inquire where this pan was made. I gambled, hoping that it would be of U.S. manufacture.
Unfortunately, this pan is made in China. Since the Chinese manufacturers find a way to adulterate just about everything they make from children's toys (lead), to food (chemicals), to drywall (noxious odors), to hardware (poor materials and casting), I am not willing potentially to gamble my health by cooking on this pan. I don't know if cast iron itself can be adulterated in a manner that would cause it to be unhealthy, but if there is a way, some Chinese manufacturers would find it if it lowered production costs. Certainly the coating used for the factory "pre-seasoning" could. Even if there are no health issues, if poor quality cast iron is used, a pan may heat less evenly and consistently than it would with high-grade cast iron.
I do not know if, in fact, the cast iron in this particular pan is of a lesser grade, but for the above reasons, as with any cookware made in China, I am not inclined to use it and find out. In this regard it serves to note that some cast iron made in China and sold under Paula Dean's name was recalled because it was cracking or shattering when exposed to heat.
In any event, the pan will be returned. I purchased in its stead a reasonably priced old Griswold brand pan at an online auction. The Lodge Pro cast iron Aebleskiver Pan is Made in the USA Lodge Pro-Logic Cast-Iron Aebleskiver Pan, but the casting is, in my opinion, very rough - rougher than the cast iron in the 1950's Griswold pan. The Aunt Else Cast Iron Pan is also Made in the USA Aunt Else's Aebleskiver Pan & Mix, but I have not seen one and thus cannot speak to its quality.
For those not deterred by the Made in China label, the casting on the Sante pan seems consistent and the finish of the product is without metal burrs. The pan is relatively heavy, which is a plus from the heat retention standpoint. The actual pan dimensions are not listed in this Amazon page or on the Sante company's website (Camp Chef), so I list them here for those wishing to compare pan sizes as: 9 1/4 inches in diameter, 1 1/2 inches tall with aebleskiver "indents" or depressions that are 2 1/8 inches in diameter and about 1 1/4 inches deep in the middle.
Lastly, if you want to make Aebleskiver the proper way where the result is a round, puffy ball rather than a slightly puffed, patty shape, do an internet search for an online video made by the Solvang Restaurant which will walk you through the process. In essence, it consists of making four, partial turns of the Aebleskiver. as the Aebleskiver is lifted a bit and turned partially, the batter flows down to make that part of the ball. Ignore the rest of the videos out there that shown a single flip of the Aebleskiver unless you want a non-traditional, flatter, slightly denser product or you want to use a filling that would run out into the cup or mold with multiple, partial turns.
