Japanese Taiyaki Maker - Fish-Shaped Waffle Pan for Hot Cakes, Pancakes & Bread - Non-Stick Cast Iron Mold - Perfect for Home Baking, Street Food Style Snacks & Japanese Dessert Making

Better than the COOKKING taiyaki maker! Despite the 1K+ reviews, I returned the COOKKING because it was dangerous to cook with because it opened up all the way & didn’t have a handle lock, which was inconvenient.This taiyaki maker is much better because it hinges open and stays locked in place when you’re filling in one side of the taiyaki. It also has a handle lock, which is nice so you don’t have to hold the pan together to make sure the batter from both top & bottom touch each other when the taiyaki is cooking for the 2 mins on each side.It’s lightweight and feels like a quality cooking pan. Nonstick.Pro tip: use “NoRecipe taiyaki recipe” to making perfectly golden Taiyaki with a satisfying crunch! I’ve tried onecookbook’s & other ones but NoRecipe was the easiest & best tasting by far! Brushing on the 1 tbsp of batter on each side’s molding was a game changer! I crisp up my finished taiyaki in the air fryer on the reheat function (280* for 6 min) & they turn out perfectly crunchy on the outside.
