Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Sante Cabin Kitchen Aebleskiver Pan
Customer Review: Grandma's Aebleskiver Heirloom....
Summary: 5 Stars
My Grandparents came to the UNITED STATES of AMERICA from DENMARK (along with many of her Danish recipes and cookware). What I remember most growing up -my Grandmother's Aebleskiver delights. We have a picture of my brother and myself sitting on the kitchen table licking the mixing spoons while Grandma was cooking the Aebleskiver. Watching Grandma Helga bake and cook was always a special occassion for all of us kiddos. While growing up and taking my friends to my Grandmother's house because you never knew just exactly what she was going too whip up for us -but we were sure to indulge our senses in sheer delight of her vast tasty treats.
I was concerned when ordering this skillet if it would be just a replica and not hold in the flavor or make what I remember the tasty treats to be. My Aunt has my Grandmother's Aebleskiver skillet and she sent me the recipe so I could try my new skillet out.
The treats were pretty good. Either I can't make them as well as my Grandmother (which is probably the case -can any of us bake as well as our Grandma's?) or the skillet needs to cure a whole lot more ....ahhhh, but that means more delicacies to enjoy. Practice makes Grandma's perfect, yes? At any rate -the pan seems to work well, didn't stick and is as described on the site.
The skillet does look different than Grandma's ...albeit it was from many, many years ago and from another country -so perhaps that's why. However, the pan should become well used and perhaps my grandchildren will grow to have a fondness of their Grandma's Aebleskiver and fight over who gets the skillet. Skillets only get better with use! This one is sure to become a favorite to be sure... and a future Grandma's Aebleskiver heirloom.
As far as this skillet -it is exactly as it shows in the picture and description. I couldn't ask for anything more (but my Grandma's skillet from my Aunt) *smirks*
The little balls of cakes came out browned and did not stick and I will probably be regretting getting all sentimental because I'm going to have to find a way to lose all the weight I am sure to gain.
Mmmmm -if you have not had Aebleskiver and you think it is just little balled pancakes so you can eat a regular pancake anytime -think again. These are special and create a whole different texture and make sure you have a true DANISH recipe to fully devour the delicious uniqueness these treats offer that no other can.
I highly recommend this skillet.
Customer Review: Tasty but tricky...
Summary: 5 Stars
I saw aebleskivers made on an episode of Diner's Drive-Ins and Dives and they looked really good and like a fun breakfast idea for the kids. I Watched several Youtube videos on the subject to see what style of pan I should get since there are several out there to choose from. This style looked best and was well-reviewed on Amazon so I ordered it. The price was very good for the quality and the pan was well-packed and arrived quickly. The fact that it came preseasoned allowed me to use it right away. I bought a bamboo "stick" to turn them but it definately is NOT as easy as it looks on the videos I saw. Forget about trying to turn them 4 times! I add a bit of butter to the each depression and then quickly add the batter before the butter gets too hot and burns. Once they start to cook you have to wait until just the right minute to try and turn them. Too soon and you'll just poke holes through them. Too late and they will be burned but I've found that it takes longer than it seems like is should before they are just right and ready to be turned. I could try a hotter pan to reduce the cooking time but that would increase the rick of burning. When the one side has cooked enough they easily come away from the edges of the pan. Rather than try to turn them 4 times I turn them completely over just once. They still come out round and it is MUCH less of a hassle. I've experimented with adding apples which was delicious and blueberries which was also good. I sprinkle them with powdered sugar when I put them on the plate and then dip them in syrup as I eat them. I've also seen people sprinkle them with cinnamon and sugar. The whole family loves them. I've been using Krusteze pancake mix to make them and it works great. Actually tastes different than a pancake made with the same mix. Overall, this is a great pan and makes a really neat breakfast dish to impress your family and friends. Just remember, practice makes perfect when it comes to getting them "just right".Customer Review: I love Æbleskivers and this is the pan
Summary: 5 Stars
Although my family on my Mom's side is Danish, and I spent a lot of time on the farms in Iowa as a kid, I had never had an Æbleskiver until about 3 years ago, at a family reunion. My cousin, who was doing most of the organizing of the trip, had said we would have to have Æbleskivers and Medisterpolse. I didn't have a clue as to what she was talking about. She said she would buy me a pan, so I could make some too. Well, I was game for that.
Anyhow, to make a long story short, I got the pan, learned out to make those delicious little pancake balls and have enjoyed them ever since. Making up for all those lost years. Unfortunately, I lost the pan. I don't know how. I don't know where, but I lost the pan.
So, on to my favorite on-line store, Amazon.com. And I found this pan. I just got it today, and it is perfect. Just like the one my cousin gave me. It is pre-seasoned, so it's ready to go. Some of the other pans I saw, the little holes didn't look deep enough, and some of the pics showed rather flat looking "balls". Æbleskivers are supposed to be ball shaped, not flying saucer shaped. This one will do the trick. The holes are deep and when you flip these things, they are going to come out the way they're supposed to. I also read of some being small, and so I compared the size, and some did look to be small. This one is a perfect fit over my gas stove.
Unfortunately, I'll not be cooking any until at least next weekend, but I am certainly looking forward to more Æbleskivers in my new pan.
Recommended purchase. Oh, yeah, I'd recommend Æbleskiver and More: A Sampling of Danish Recipes to go a long with it. If you're going to pay shipping on a $22.50 pan, you might as well get something for it, and that book has a lot of neat recipes in it.
Customer Review: Quality product at an awesome price
Summary: 5 Stars
Aebleskiver Pans are absolutely necessary if you want to make these delightful breakfast treats. Whenever we have guests and serve them aebleskivers for the first time, they are always amazed and want to know how to make them. Of course, the first hurdle is finding a quality pan at a reasonable price. The search is over. We have bought several of these pans as gifts for friends and relatives and it is always greatly appreciated. Thank you amazon for making this so easy. We recommend the pre seasoned pan because it's ready to go, right out of the box.Customer Review: Great Pan!
Summary: 5 Stars
I wasn't very convinced on this aebleskiver stuff, but after purchasing this pan, everybody in my family loves them. I have made them with blueberries, strawberries, chocolate chips, banana, and dulce de leche.
This is a very good quality cast iron pan, it is heavy, which means it will distribute heat evenly!
Definitely practice is in order to get the perfect round aebleskiver, but even the ones that are not that round are delicious!
