I can't understand what's special about a pancake pan.Why have a pan
exclusively for one purpose? Pancakes can be made in any pan - or none.

Because it has a special pancake compliant surface and the handle is
set at the optimum pancake tossing angle, thereby ensuring perfect
pancakes every time.

Well, the angle of the handle for one..also the shape of the pan is
precision rounded by a big precision rounding machine to make sure the
pancake turns out round, not like inferior pans.

It's all designed by a bit computer using special magnets and stuff to
ensure optimum pancake cookery.

Also, it looks similar to a pan once used by Jamie 'fat tongue' Oliver
so it must be good.

You've put me right off now. I'll revert to using my three frying pans.
There were four but I got ruthless when we did the kitchen, one went to the
charity shop.

There's always the skillet of course ... rather heavy to toss with my
arthritic hands though. I need a Big Strong Man.

Notably they are restricted to the south west.


It's wonderful, though. The co-ordination between seat cushion, table
cloth, napkins, placemats, oven gloves and apron fall short only on
the bin bags in which to pack these items for disposal at the tip with
the Burberry products.

They are disposable too, if my experience of the chargers of that class
of goods is anything to go by.

So say you bought 3 of them so you can get 4 hours continuous use out
of one of them and the chargers all failed one at a time, you'd have
about 4 1/2 hours use for all your effort.
And be stuck with 3 drills to find a corner for.

Of course if you could rebuild the batteries and make yourself a
charger...
Could you plug one into an old 150 watt pc power supply if it had a cut
out on it I wonder? Plenty of them around at one time.

I find a handy item for these is a temperature alarm.
You set an alarm for +2C over room temperature, and stick a pan-scouring
sponge (or something) over it, with a weight on it.
Then just turn it off when it beeps.

You're talking sh*te man, the brother in-law has one, these drills where on
sale last year at £19.99 he's been using it for over 6 months and informs
me its still working and charging.
However its not my cup of tea but it will suffice the general joe public.

The thing with Aldi,Lidl,Netto they resell their products each year till
stocks are exhausted at a further reduced price from the previous year.

The vac-u-vin stopper is opne of those rubber wine bottle storage corks
(bizarre, I know). With the supplied plastic handpump you can get down
to about 1/4 atmosphere.


Hmm... veneering press for small pieces?

Only if it's full of fat.

With a little lateral thinking the fat can be poured out and the pancake
made on the bottom, as is normally done.

Still unhealthily calorific and high fat, especially with orangeand whisky
sauce, or just golden syrup, but it's only once a year.

Well, perhaps twice ... or a few more ...

I much prefer shopping at Aldi (open, clinically clean) or LiDL (tidy, busy)
to
our corn-Netto (so congested), but I have now seen another Netto that is
better maintained.
Pity our greedy, big supermarkets can't compete with -some- of their
everyday prices or won't launch pre-announced, picked specials once or twice
a week!.

I have a set of these from a few years ago..they are good but as you
say the handles are short.

They'll cut through small padlocks as-is. For larger ones I use two
legths of steel tubing on the handles with no ill effects. The actual
cutting part seems well made.

I thought Lidl sold German stuff. Since when did pancakes form the
National diet, dispacing Saurkraut and Schwarzwalder Schinken or even
Schinkenraeucherei Braasch.

Laminated woodwork could be veneer on the outside of a box or it could
be gluing a few laminations together whilst bent, so that they stay that
shape once dried.

You can clamp up with clamps, but that's hard work. You also want to
have a continuous even pressure, not a few point clamping forces - so
you can use a "caul", a flexible sheet pulled tight over the job.

If you use a plastic bag as the caul, and you suck the air out of the
inside, then you can have a few psi clamping force over the whole thing,
practically for free.

It's also easier to make jigs that resitst being crushed, rather than
ones that can hold a pressure bag expanding inside them.

I don't understand that either :-(

But I'm looking at the vacuum bags, if they're as good as you suggest
they'll have some uses. Thanks,
