Pancakes in a can
Our ever alert features designer Tracey brought me this photo when it appeared on the wires recently. You have to admit Batter Blaster tops Cheeseburger in a Can.
Not because you just point and spray next time you want pancakes or waffles, although that's pretty amazing. I mean, how much trouble is it to mix up some Aunt Jemima? But the part I love is that it's organic. Oh, yeah. ...
Bad news. I went to the Batter Blaster Web site just now, typed in my Zip code, and found that at this time it's not available in my area. The closest store seems to be in Kentucky, or maybe Ohio. No phone or internet orders are taken yet.
The price of a spray can seems to be missing also, but frankly I don't feel like spending a lot of time looking on the Batter Blaster Web site. Cool video demonstration though.

Boy,
Those flapjacks sure look tasty! Just like having your own greasy spoon restaurant right at home. What a concept!

Well, the ingredients are not inorganic (rocks and stones), therefore they are organic.

The demo is so laughable and the customer comments...well, what can you say.
I always get such a laugh out of the mess and bother convenience foods commercials show that happens when making things of scratch.
I don't know about all of you, but I can gage what size bowl I need so that I'm not slopping all the ingredients out while stirring. And making pancake batter from scratch only takes about 5 minutes.
I've sent this link to a few friends who I think will enjoy it.

What would inorganic be? Salt? Kryptonite?
"Organic rice bran extract propellant"? Yikes, there is no delicate way to express what I think this is.

I made the best buttermilk pancakes from scratch last weekend using the recipe from the Joy of Cooking. Why would I want pre-mixed batter in a can? Ugh.
And the container is yet more stuff for the landfills.

Hot damn! Those are some fancy griddle cakes. They should come in a six pack. Finally my dream of fast edible pancake art is one step closer to reality.

Isn't there an infomercial for a pancake pan with a lid so you don't have to deal with that pesky turner? Seems like the perfect pan for pancakes in a pan.

Another ops. I need a copy editor.

The boyfriend's family is from Ohio. I will call his sister and ask her to bring a couple of cans when she visits. She already thinks I am hysterical....wait until I ask for "pancakes in a can".

I say have them ship us a case. Expense it!
I don't mind being the guinea pig on this one.

I'm not crazy about that propellant othwerwise I'd be tempted to huff a few 'cakes.

What does the batter taste like if blasted into your mouth directly from the spray nozzle a la canned whipped cream?

Based up the propellant, "Organic rice bran extract propellant", I'm guessing a vegan Dutch oven.

Great...pancakes and whip-its, together at last.

Did anyone bother to look and see that the product is not "pasteurized" and therefore is questionable as to its safety on the shelf since it is "only" refrigerated.

Just noticed that this is now stocked at Whole Foods.
