the batter blaster

I thought this was going to be my favorite product of the week: Batter Blaster. It looks like one of those cans filled with whipped cream, but instead it's pancake batter. Just point it at your griddle or skillet and spray. It sounded great. My husband used it with an electric skillet and he said it worked really well.

But it didn't work for me. I started out with the griddle on medium heat, and the pancakes burned. I kept lowering the temperature but they still burned. The bottom would be dark before they were firm enough to flip, which made a mess.

Nice concept. Not so great in actual practice.

If my husband gives me any tips on improving my technique, I'll pass them on!
