    my second lot of pancakes did not turn out sad

    I have no idea why, sometimes pancakes all cook perfectly 

    othertimes fail abysmally

    usually just the first one fails but sometimes its every one

    nah,   we only merge threads when they are on the same subject.

     

  • I have managed to ignore this thread for a couple years.  Unfortunately today was an exception.

    everyone else apparently is ignoring this thread

    well at keast for 11 days

    I just dug it out again for them

    had a silly realisation that most people doing still image renders have far superior computers to me so not only does that show they don't want to animate anything but that my animations are of exceedingly crappy quality in comparison crying

    ...I would but it won't ignore me it seems as I keep getting emails from it.

    I just ate all the candy in my desk. 

    I worked out though.

    whats the ratio of those little Halloween size candy to going to the gym? it was honestly a sweaty workout not walking on a treadmill watching the angry old man next to me shaking his fist as what Fox News was showing wondering if he was going to start a conversation with me that I didn't need to get into with him. Dang Whippersnappers!

    usually just the first one fails but sometimes its every one

    ...just made some this morning along with some bacon.

    This is why I love cast iron as it heats nice and evenly, I warm the griddle up on medium low for a bit (electric range top) then just put a small amount of oil on it (less than a tablespoon) which I spread evenly over the surface with the turner. I then turn the heat to medium for a couple minutes before ladling batter on the griddle.  Never had them stick, burn, come out oily, or be gooey in the middle.  I tend to make the batter a slight bit thinner than most recipes suggest so they are a bit lighter and cook evenly.

    I might buy a new teflon nonstick pan

    this one is 25years old and losing coating

    I only ever used it for pancakes and eggs

    it used to only need a spray of oil or some smeared 

  • Have you ever noticed, it's mostly the same people not ignoring these threads?  Perhaps we should ignore them, me, us,...

    ...I would go with cast iron or ceramic personally as the jury isn't completely out on whether Teflon is or isn't bad even though European countries have banned it.

    Yeah seasoning a new cast iron skillet is a bit of a bother but in the long run it will outlast any of the coated ones and you ever have to worry about scratches or flaking (I've seen the latter happen with inexpensive coated cookware). . One of my skillets is over 35 years old and nothing sticks to it.

    aware also it needs to be a very good nonstick not a cheap one

    and careful cleaning

    the one I have served me very well, could flip eggs on it easy with a nonstick spatula 

     

  • kyoto kidkyoto kid Posts: 41,036

    ...ah yes eggs do require a bit more "slipperiness" to not stick. I don't eat eggs, fried or boiled, as I have a food sensitivity to the yolks. 

    Yeah I tend to err on the cautious these days.  I figure I've ingested enough bad stuff though all the years of food cooked on old fashioned Teflon, cheap non-stick, and aluminium cookware when I grew up and later whne I was on my own.  .I only use cast iron or stainless steel on the stove top, steel baking sheets, pans or Pyrex glass in the oven, and Pyrex glass or ceramic in the microwave (plastic is really bad when it is heated). Feel I need to make up for all those early years.

    I bought a new nonstick pan finally for $6

    my eggs just slide in it, can do easy over so easy, just as smidgen of olive oil

    been eating very lightly salted and fresh ground black peppered egg, fried onions, tomato, cheese and sour cream in baby cos lettuce leaves

    I wish I'd ignored this thread. Now I'm hungry for pancakes. Serves me right... (and I'd rather be being served pancakes than "right")

    been eating very lightly salted and fresh ground black peppered egg, fried onions, tomato, cheese and sour cream in baby cos lettuce leaves

    Here's a good tasting health risk...

    Take two pancakes (pan made or toaster type), Three slices of ham (predictive text insists "hamster" but they don't slice as well) or (they probably don't have these down in Oz, and most Aussie sausages taste different...) four of the small "Jimmy Dean-Original style" disc shape "sausages", Two cheddar cheese slices and a scrambled fried egg with salt & pepper added before the frying... 

    Fry the egg, microwave the discausages (or lightly brown the ham) stick the frozen pancakes in the toaster oven and right before they are done, throw the cheese on so it melts... then, using the cheesed up pancakes as a structural foundation, place the egg on one pancake (cheese side up or it will stick and then you'll have to eat the plate too)... drizzle a little pancake syrup over it (for full nullification of any remaining nutritional value), toss the ham on, or arrange the four little heart attack disks on top of the sticky eggs, drizzle a little more pancake syrup on (because why the hell not, in for a penny, in for a pound), and then slap on that last cheesed up pancake...

    Note: Alternatively one can substitute Eggo waffles for pancakes if they really don't give an eff.

    Remember to place a pillow on the floor and leave the phone nearby so you can call for paramedics (dial in "00" before so you only have that last 0 to go)...

    Enjoy.

    If it doesn't kill you immediately, don't worry, it's working on it and with a few more of those it'll get the job done.

    This is not my invention, McDonald's sells a smaller version called a "Sausage McGriddle"... but since they are tiny, I decided to make them full sized and more unhealthy... I call them "VicGriddles"... 

     

    On a side note... did I write this once before...?  I'm having the weirdest deja vu...

    ...hmm a double barrel whammy if you are a diabetic with all that syrup drizzling, particularly if it is the mainstream brand kind which doesn't come from maple trees, but cornfields.

    I asked OneDrive to download a bunch of files.  Took a shower but it still did not appear to download those files.  It was ignoring my request.

    Not sure if it even comes from cornfields... probably from vats... big vats... with lots of pipes and valves...

    I made one for lunch...

    ....the primary ingredient in most commercial (non pure maple) syrup is High Fructose Corn Syrup with "maple flavouring" added.  However it does end up in big vats as well as tanker trucks.  The neighbourhood lived in for many years had a small Coca Cola plant and I'd see these big tankers always heading there with the ADM logo and "Corn Syrup" on the trailer tanks.

    I am in Australia 

    High Fructose Corn Syrup is not a thing here

    if it's not maple syrup it almost certainly is cane sugar which we produce heaps of

     

    anyway pancakes once a year is hardly going to kill me

    I don't have diabetes 

    must be miserable not even being able to enjoy a once a year treat crying

    ...corn is one of the major cash crops here in the States so they use processed sugars from that .Most cane sugar we get comes from Hawai'i and a few areas along the the Gulf Coast.  HFCS by volume is also less expensive than cane sugar, due to the small amount produced domestically. hence why so many products from soft drinks to even mass produced bakery goods now use it.

    I still do treat myself now and then, though I still do need to keep track of glucose levels,  My case isn't as severe and can be primarily managed through diet.  I find  that a little pure maple syrup goes a long way as it is much more flavourful, so I don't need to "drown" my hotcakes or waffles in it like most people do with the mass produced brands.  A 12 oz bottle lasts me several months as long as it is kept refrigerated.
