Much like the pan I grew up with

- Reviewed in the United States on July 30, 2012I bought this pan on a whim. I have never eaten authentic Plett but the descriptions sounded appealing. I seasoned the pan on the stovetop since it is 90 degrees outside. Not my preferred method but it worked.
I whipped up a batch of Plett using a 3-egg recipe I found on the web. I level Tablespoon of the batter worked perfectly. (These recipes make a LOT of Plett, but they freeze well.) I left out the sugar and put savory toppings on them. Sauteed mushrooms, smoked salmon, sliced cheese, etc. Nice contrast with the eggy texture of the Plett. They are great "pancakes" for little tykes.
Next, I used the pan for some buckwheat blini. Worked perfectly. Also used it for circles of scrambled egg and prosciutto to put on top of the blini. Made mini bacon/egg/cheese sandwiches.
Every culture has some form of pancake. Haven't tried Dosa batter yet, but I've used cornmeal and buckwheat crepe mixtures with great success.
One thing you should know is that this pan is not the same as the pictured pad in the listing. the pan I received does not have the pour lip on the side of the pan and the pancake wells have tapered sides rather than straight sides.
It's sturdy. It's non-stick. It does what it's supposed to do. I'm very pleased.
UPDATE: I like this pan more every time I use it. I have found some tools in my kitchen that make the process easier and and cuts my cooking time in half.
1. I use Alton Brown's crepe recipe, but usually have to thin it with 2-4 Tablespoons of water if I let the batter sit overnight. I usually leave out the sugar because I usually use the plett for savory recipes. I keep a batch of sweet plett in the freezer. It is a very easy recipe and makes about 50 eggy plett/crepes. Again, they freeze well.
2. Different wells in the pan cook at different speeds, depending on their location on the pan. The 2 wells right in front of the handle cook the slowest and the center well cooks the fastest. As a result, I fill the 2 wells by the handle first and the center well last.
3. Use a pancake pen to fill the wells.
Tovolo Pancake Pen
It takes just a little bit of practice, but once you find your rhythm, it is MUCH faster than measuring each tablespoonful. I use it to fill small baking molds like bouchons and financiers as well. You could also use the cupcake pen.
4. Flipping the plett in their wells is aggravating and time consuming. Because of the egg content, they puff up and don't sit flat in the well when you turn them over. Have a second pan heated on the stove and move the plett directly to that pan to cook on the second side. It speeds up the process considerably. You can refill the wells while the plett cook on the second side in the other pan. I really like the pan below for this purpose:
Lodge Logic Pre-Seasoned Round Griddle, 10.5"
It has low sides, so you can turn the plett without burning you hand. I also use it to broil fish. I preheat it, put some oil in the bottom and put in the fish. The cast iron holds the heat, so it cooks the fish on both sides without turning.
5. Lose the barbecue skewers. They work, but they are a little slow, awkward, and can poke holes in the plett if they are a little under done. I use a mini metal frosting knife and a mini spatula. Thay are easier to use and speed up the process.
Dexter-Russell 2-by-2.5-Inch Stainless Steel and Walnut Mini Turner
and
Ateco 4.25 by 0.75-Inch Small Sized Blade Ultra Spatula
I use the small cake decorating spatula to steady one side of the plett while I slip the other spatula underneath to transfer it to the second pan.
Using these 4 items, I can cook up an entire batch of batter very quickly.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 13, 2020So many of the reviewers are stupid. Here’s why:
1. “It’s too heavy”. Of COURSE it is! It’s a cast iron pan.
2. “The pancakes are too small”. It’s a pan for making traditional Swedish småplättar (small pancakes), so this size should be expected.
3. “Food is sticking, it’s rusting, etc”. It’s cast iron; you have to properly season it first. Coating the top in avocado oil and baking it top-down for an hour at maximum heat (with some foil on a lower rack to catch any drips) will do the trick. Repeat for the bottom. Your pan should now be black. Should it stick still, redo just the seven indents. Cast iron takes time to become a fantastic pan. So keep in mind that new ones are NOT fantastic. Also, after washing, dry thoroughly and then oil the top. This keeps it from rusting AND gets it ready to cook for next time.
4. “Can’t flip pancakes without them breaking”. First of all, they’re probably not ready yet then. But also, don’t try to use a spatula; use a metal fork. Metal is fine on cast iron.
5. “Pancakes are burning”. Assuming it’s been properly seasoned, make sure it’s got a thin coat of oil (should be there from after your last washing), heat it up to medium-low, set the timer for two minutes, and begin pouring. Remember the order you poured them. Once the timer goes off, set it anew and flip them with a metal fork. Once the timer goes off again, they’re done. Fork them all over to a plate. If you see smoke, either you’re not using avocado oil, or you’ve got it too hot. It’s tough to gauge since all stoves are different, but that’s just how it goes. Learn the perfect temperature for cast iron on your stove.
6. “Egg problems”. Don’t cook eggs on cast iron till it’s become well- seasond.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 9, 2024Item not as described. It is not black like in the photos, but grey. This isn't normal cast iron, it clearly has some kind of coating - not preservative grease or oil. The coating was also partially coming off. Avoid this.
