As mentioned in a previous review, we are big pancake lovers at our house. Dupont & Teflon recently sent us the Flip It pancake pan to review, with this fun patriotic design.
Pros: This is a really fun innovative idea. You allow it to preheat, flag side on the bottom for around 6 minutes. Then you use 1/2 cup of pancake batter, and wait until the batter is bubbly. Lastly, you bring down the top of the pan and flip it. The result is very pretty and gives you delicious pancakes in just a few minutes. My boys think the flag design is really fun, and if it encourages them to eat then I’m all about it.
I like how compact this pan is, it doesn’t take much room to store. Because of the teflon coating it is also easy to clean. There are also other food items you can cook in the flip it pan including omelets and sandwiches. I like this because sometimes it’s hard for me to rationalize having a specialty item like this unless it performs multiple functions. I have to make sure I’m going to use it.
I also thought that the pancakes were more fluffy and airy when using the flip it pan. I wonder if it has to do with the steam that is kept in while they are cooking. They really are delicious.
Cons: Per instructions, it is recommended that you use only 1/2 cup of pancake batter. I wondered what would happen if I used more. I used 3/4 cup, waited until it was bubbly, and then flipped. The batter oozed all out the side and made a huge mess on the burner. So it is REALLY important that you measure out a half cup and not more. The pan also doesn’t clamp down shut, there is about a 1/2 inch opening, so this is one reason that the batter would leak out. I think a good improvement would be to have it clamp all of the way down.
The Bottom Line: Non stick teflon pancake pan that creates fun designs and fluffy pancakes. Needs a few minor improvements.
Where to Buy: Not available in stores as they were made for a limited time as a novelty. However, Teflon has lots of other great products to check out.

my husband is always wanting me to make pancakes as a ‘midnight snack’ (about the time I’m ready to go to bed!) — maybe this would make him want to do it himself!
[Reply]
I would love to win this pan to spend more time with my kids in the kitchen! I find myself wanting to do this, just not taking the TIME to do it. Maybe something like this would make me get them in there with me and enjoy some quality time together (at the same time teaching them life lessons ☺)

We are big breakfast eaters, but my griddle is on the blink so pancakes are not being made nearly as often right now as my kids would like.
[Reply]
This would make breakfast so much more fun for my family.

I would like to win this because I’ve never been able to make decent pancakes. One side burns, then the whole thing collapses into a mess when I try to flip it. It’s embarrassing to be serving Eggos at age 46!

It seems easy enough even for him to use….LOL!!!

Wow what a clever pan. I like the whole concept of being able to flip it. It looks very simple and high tech. Would love to win it!
[Reply]
Great idea – My son always loves to eat pancakes and I usually make a whole batch just for his few pancakes he eats. He loves eating things that are ‘cool mommy’ and he would love having a ‘firework’ in his pancake! Too cute.

My kids love pancakes, but I don’t make them often because it is such a hassle to lug out the big old electric griddle. I’d be much more inclined to make them more often for the kids if I won this. I love that it is small and is easy to store in a cabinet. Thanks for the great giveaway.
[Reply]
I would like to win this just to make fun pancakes!
[Reply]
After years of being out of practice, I recently made a batch of pancakes – I had to make several before even one turned out looking right! They were unevenly cooked and lopsided. I think this pan would take a lot of the work out of good pancake making!
