TAIYAKI Japanese fish-shaped cake maker

These pans are exceptional except for a couple small things. The first is that they are very difficult to clean. While you will get the pieces of batter and such out of the fish molds, there will forever more be a brown tinge to the apparatus itself, and burn marks on the outsides. The other problem is that the handles melted a tiny bit, not enough to stop working, but I did notice some red residue on the metal portion of the handles. Apart from that, i love making taiyaki every weekend with these pans!

Got one from my father in law.Very nice, easy to use and comes apart for cleaning.

One of the best investments I've ever made.It's ADORABLE, and they ended up tasting just like the taiyaki I had in Japan.

For all those complaining about the instructions being in Korean, there's now on a sticker in English on the back of the box, complete with cooking ingredients and instructions.

The loose hinges are normal since the batter needs room to rise during cooking.

I even went ahead and used egg substitute instead of eggs, and agave nectar instead of the sugar and honey.Kills the cholesterol and tastes exactly the same ^^ Highly recommend it for those health-conscious folk, or vegans.

The ONLY thing it doesn't tell you is how much water to add, even though it's in the cooking instructions.

Use your best judgement.Mine worked perfectly having the consistency of regular pancake batter (I have no idea how many cups of water that was).But just keep adding it at 1/2 cup increments until it achieves the desired consistency.

And for those complaining it's hard to clean, make sure you use a cooking spray (spray the oil before it comes in contact with a range stove so you don't blow up xD. If you're using a flat top or coil stove, just spray carefully). After the pan cools off, it should clean very easily.

It's also very important that you use a medium heat, and a smaller burner to avoid the plastic handle from getting to hot.

Other than that, just follow the instructions, check every couple of minutes to make sure it's getting that nice brown, crispy texture, and tip the cakes out once they're done onto a plate :) Ganbatte ne!

So far we love it!It takes some getting used to on making them just right but we are loving it!The only thing is to watch because it does get really really hot and the two sides do come apart.Which is good for wiping/cleaning it up but a wee bit dangerous when being used and it's hot.But all in all it's a great little cooker and can't wait to try it out camping! :D

The item is heavy and small. It also doesn't cook evenly. The fishes are tiny and the pan isn't deep enough to support much.
