Cooking Tip of the Day…

Palm Beach photographer, Lucien Capehart suggested something that I have never heard of… Organic Batter Blaster. Apparently Lucien discovered this at Costco.
Essentially, it is canned (similar to a whipped topping can) pancake/waffle batter that can be ’squirted’ onto a griddle, frying pan or waffle iron. Instant batter. The company website is very interesting as it includes a video on product use.
Needless to say, I will find this product and test it. Lucien loves Southern food and is a regular at every Palm Beach restaurant, so I am guessing this must be pretty good. Check the company website for product sales locations and check it out.
My immediate thoughts… I love pancakes and being able to have instant batter allowing for one or two pancakes is terrific. For the parent wanting to provide a hot breakfast on the go, this may be just the ticket.
Reviews on the net are mixed but it is a neat concept. Perhaps this goes under the heading of, “What will they think of next”!
What a great idea - why didn’t I think of this???
Now we know how Lucien can be at ten different places at once and still have breakfast.
This also looks great for those meals where you only want a few pancakes at a time, with no batter wasted! It’s worth a try.
This website is great ! As for the ‘can-cakes’, I bought 3 cans at Costco. After one use of the first can, there was no longer pressure to extrude more batter. I had the same problem with the next 2 cans. Each time I varied how the can was stored (flat, upright, tilted) and increased the thoroughness of nozzle cleaning, all to no avail.
