7 kitchen gadgets to up your pancake game
February 21, 2021
Shrove Tuesday, or Pancake Day, if you prefer, takes place on Tuesday 21 February in 2023. But the humble batter-based treat can be surprisingly tricky to get right. It always helps to have the right tools, so pimp your pancakes with these helpful gadgets…
Delimano pancake maker, £29.99
We love this gadget idea as it makes pancake making a more social activity by bringing it out of the kitchen. Just make the batter, dip the pancake maker in the included bowl, wait 5 minutes and flip. Perfect crepes every time without slaving away over a hot stove.

Staub pancake pan
This round 28cm pancake pan from Staub isn’t cheap at £89.95, but the enamelled cast iron pan comes complete with a wooden turner and spreader, making it easier than ever to make crisp, golden pancakes and crepes. The matte black enamelled cooking surface is scratch resistant and easy to clean, and it comes with a lifetime warranty. If it’s just a pancake spreader you’re after, pick one up for just £3.99 from Amazon to ensure a thin and perfectly even crepe.

Oxo batter dispenser, £8
For perfectly proportioned pancakes, this dispenser has a valve that controls the flow of thin or thick batter, and is removable for cleaning. The wide base keeps the dispenser stable and snaps on for storing extra batter in the refrigerator.
