Normal pancake making procedures needed, like oil and flipping, which is not mentioned in instructions. Works especially well w two people, one flipping/ removing and one brushing oil & pouring mix. Heat is perfect and even. Controls are clear.
I bought this for my 11 year old daughter who wants to open a donut shop someday. It cooks donut batter and cake batter perfectly! It is small and compact unlike some of the mini donut friers
