"BUYER BEWARE!!"
CHEAP PRODUCT, DO NOT BUY!!! As a previous review has said, the finish came off after one use. I also noticed some black flecks in the oil while brushing it BEFORE using and dismissed them. Hopefully not LEAD based. These are being advertised to kids, but eating non-stick coating is NOT GOOD FOR KIDS.

"Very Disappointing"
My family was very excited about getting this and couldnt wait to try it out after seeing the numerous infomercials stating how great it was. We followed the directions exactly. No matter what you use (oil, butter, non stick cooking spray) the pancake batter WILL stick to the pan. Very hard to clean after this happens. And you cannot flip them with a wooden stick because they will be ruined. Even if you can get one to come out, they are very tiny and not even close to being big enough to "inject" anything into. We are returning the product to the store. :(

"good product"
This product is very good. I can't speak for all over types, but it works great in a gas oven. The instructions are very vague, but I have found that heating the broiler on high to warm the oven for about 15 minutes makes the puffs come out perfect. I bought this product to give breakfast a different twist for my husband and I who get very bored with eating the same thing all of the time. My husband has begged me to make these for breakfast everyday since I purchased this. I certainly found a winner for my home!!!

"I Love it!!!"
I bought one of these at bed bath and beyond, and I really like it. Our first round of pancakes we did with one of the recipes that came in the booklet. I had put the heat on the stove a little too high, so they were getting a little too dark for our taste, so I turned the stove down to low, and things rolled along nicely from there. It takes a little practice to get the hang of flipping them, but it's really not that hard. I do suggest non stick spray as that will make them flip easier. I know the other review said that hers started to rust right away, and if you don't keep it oiled it will, as ours started to a little as well. We just wiped it dry and put a light coating of oil on it and it's been fine ever since. We really enjoy it and have tried several of the recipes that came with it. The little extras that come with it aren't too exciting, the brush sort of disenegrated and the injector is too small to really do anything with it, but the handle cover is nice as well as the sugar shaker.

"Disappointed"
My husband reminded me to Beware of the "AS SEEN ON TV" of course I allowed the kids to talk me into this. It arrived in a package with limited care instructions. I seasoned the pan, then used the oil as suggested, then tried non stick spray. None of these actually prevented the pancake mix from sticking. It was worse when I tried the eggs. The surface is quite bumpy. Just a cheap non stick finish over the Iron which came off almost immediately. I washed as directed, dried and it rusted almost immediately. BUYER BEWARE!
I would suggest an Aebleskiver pan (a danish delight now reinvented into the "pancake puff")
