A Breakfast on the Go - Batter Blaster: Pancakes in a Can
Why Make Your Own If it Comes in a Can?
Batter Blaster is an organic product that basically can be described as batter in a can. It is a product that resembles the 1960-70's cooking products that were nothing but a gimmick. The company states on the can that the small can of batter manages to create perfect pancakes and waffles each time. It was compelling, so it was a must try.
Ingredients:
Filtered water; organic wheat flour (unbleached); organic cane sugar; organic whole soybean powder; organic whole egg solids; cultured dextrose (stabilizer); sea salt; sodium bicarbonate (baking soda); dicalcium carbonates (leavening agents); xantham gum.
Allergens: Contains wheat, soy and eggs
This weird product comes in a yellow, red and white can that resembles the pressured spray whipping cream that has become popular in most stores around America. If looking for the can, be sure to look in the refrigerated section since it is perishable and must be chilled but not frozen. Not only is this an organic product but the container is also 100% recyclable. The lid and cap are made from recyclable plastic and the can is 100% recyclable steel. That means it is an organic and green product.
Following the instructions on the can, I placed my griddle at 375 degrees (medium-high for stove burners); the can suggested waiting five minutes for the griddle to warm however I took one minute since I was impatient. Next, I sprayed the griddle with olive oil spray from a can. Then, I took the can and flipped it upside down and pushed the tip slightly forward (similar to a whipping cream can). The batter came out smoothly without any clogging of the tip. After a few minutes the pancakes had created tiny bubbles on the top layer so I flipped them over. Another few minutes and the pancakes were completely finished. The pancakes tasted like homemade pancakes - kids will not notice the difference in texture or taste.
My review of this product is superb. It is easily stored in the refrigerator and takes less than ten minutes to make an entire plate of pancakes for the family. Each can contain at least 8 servings, so for a family of four - each batter blaster can will feed everyone twice. It is a product that makes one think - "why hasn't this been thought of before?"
Note: Batter Blaster comes from San Francisco, California and has an official Batter Blaster website that is listed on the can.

Post a CommentThese are wonderful!!! I'm on my third can with two more in the fridge. I think these are pretty close to IHOP pancakes and that is saying a lot for me! You really need to cook pancakes slow and let your pan heat up on a "lower than you think you need" setting for at least 3-5 minutes before you start. I burned my first round but after that we've been making them perfect.
To get them a little fluffy, add your first bit of batter to the pan. When they are the size you want, stop and then wait a few seconds, add another little squirt (this bit won't spread out) and they'll cook up thicker! Mmmm! I squirt a bit of "fake" butter on them and use the lite Hungry Jack syrup that you microwave.
My only gripe is that they don't make as many as claimed on the can, but I think I make mine thicker (especially with the little trick above.) I'm getting about 18 per can. It's okay with me, I just buy a bunch when they are on sale as they last quite a while in the fridge. I haven't noticed any
Batter Blaster busts Guinness World Record with 76,382 pancakes cooked and served in an eight hour period. See the TV coverage: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ti1cRbD0XRE
I tried it and the pancakes are NOT fluffly - sort of flat and tasteless. The dispensing was fine, until I stored the can and went back to use it again. The batter seems to get stuck in the nozzle and you can't get it out or compress the nozzle to make it work. At the price of the can - $4.50 - you're paying for convenience - but not if it doesn't work!
The pancakes are fantastic! But the can will not dispense all of it's contents, so you are only able to get a few pancakes, and that makes this product cost prohibitive. They need to fix the can or put it in something else. What a waste. I tried it twice, my son as tried it twice and my neighbor, is still trying with no changes. I hope they fix the problem.
i did not like the batter blaster, i used a whole can and did not get 1 good pancake out of it, i wont buy this product again it was a waste of good money
