Batter Blaster is probably going to change the way pancake batter is sold.
This is a terrible invention. Absolutely horrendous and irresponsible. Pancakes are not hard nor messy to make. All this does is prey on the stupid and in the meantime waste a lot of resources such as packaging and freight. If someone were to use this product on a regular basis those cans would add up quickly.

Hey Mom, look... its "Organic"!
That means its good for you!
And think of that messy one cup of bisquick, one egg, and a half cup of milk you don't have to mix together and pour onto a hot griddle anymore!
Screw the ozone! I'm spraying pancakes!

ZOMG! this is the best thing evaaar! Imagine one of those hot days in phoenix (or any other post-global-warming city), you know the kind where you can fry an egg on the boot of your automotive vehicle. Well, on a day like that, the can transmogrifies into edible silly string! Just point the nozzle at a waiting mouth and spray. By the time it gets there it's already cooked!1!

I have tried it and not only is it amazing it tastes great. At least the cans can be recycled, I can't recycle left over pancake batter I won't eat. Unless I can use it to spackle my walls. By the way, if you look at the label you'll see there are NO CFCs produced by spraying the can. It's food, not aqua net!

I have never tried them, but I am a fan of cooking, so I would say that this is not a necessity. I'll give this a brutal one.

This product saves cleanup time and the pancakes were delicious! We live in Southern CA and found it at Costco in a 3-pack.

Pancakes are easy to make. But it's impossible to make ONE pancake. That's the beauty of Batter Blaster. In the morning, I can make my son an excellent tasting, fresh pancake in less time than it takes to heat up an Eggo or make toast. And there is no clean up. I <3 this product.

I will not buy this product again. It claims contain eight pancakes. I only got two and a sausage link plugged it up.

Truthfully, I think it's brilliant. I wonder if you can find it in Canada... That's wonderful that the cans can be recycled! And how nice you can make just one pancake if you only want one. Can you get frozen, pre-made pancakes in the States like they were Pop Tarts or Toaster Struedels? I've never seen such a product, but it might be interesting as well...
By , at 11/11/2007 07:13:00 PM
Yeah! How don't see how the pancakes are fresh if the can has been sitting for about 3 years.

Lins - Schwann's delivers packages of frozen pancakes & waffles - my kids live off 'em. :)
This blaster might be a fun invention for the kids...once.
Until you melt the nozzle around a pin and get high-distance pancake-silly-string like a prev. poster said.

they have them in L.A. at costco. :) I seen them the other day!

I'm going to go my local Andronico's and buy a bottle or two tomorrow morning just to try it out-- Seems fun and perfect for the average lazy American lifestyle. :D

This is a sign of the apocalypse. I use pancake mix, just add water, and it takes about 30 seconds. You can make as much or as little as you want. I just can't imagine the sloth involved in using this, and I'm a pretty lazy guy. "The cans are recyclable" Does that make you feel that it's environment neutral? Really? How much of this is really reusable? I assume they don't refill them, just throw them in the hopper with other cans. How much energy does it cost to "recycle" one of these?
By , at 12/09/2007 09:43:00 PM
I've seen them at Costco also. Can't imagine buying them regularly but they would be a fun gimmick for breakfast after a slumber party. Glad to hear they taste good. But I'll stick with my Trader Joe's batter for regular use.

"Instant Pancake" mix is simply flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and sugar. I mix up a batch and store it in the pantry.
When I want pancakes I combine the mix up with buttermilk, eggs, and butter and put it on the griddle with a ice cream scoop that has a sweep. Sure it makes a few dishes dirty but it cost practically nothing to make.
As for the leftover batter I make pancakes until the batter is gone then freeze the remaining cakes to re-heat in the toaster for breakfast. With one home made batch I get tons of pancakes and leftovers for a week that are better than any store bought pancake and it costs less.
Actually I think doing it this way dirties less dishes than spraying a single pancake of batter blaster and dirtying your griddle every day.

This is a step in the right direction, but can somebody please make a version that can specifically be used while driving?
By , at 1/02/2008 06:04:00 PM
Would my great grandparents recognize it as food? I'm not sure that they would, so I think I'll stay away from it. :)
For some reason this product gives me a bad gut feeling. Like some natural instinct saying to me: "That is not food." I was so disgusted by the product that I wrote an article about it on my blog. Well it was more of a "rant" than an "article". ;)

Have you ever looked at the ingredient list for Bisquick? Yuck. Batter Blaster is definitely way better for you. It's expensive, and definitely not 'necessary', but as far as what I'm putting in my body, I'd much rather BB than the typical mixes...

Yet another invention for the home that encourages a wastefull lifestyle. Throwaway mops, paper towels, wet wipes, zip loc bags, and now this. However, everyone should know that you can recycle aerosol cans, even spray paint. Anyone really taken by the "organic" advertising ploy should take time to think about the bigger picture: these types of products are moving our society away from sustainability and a better world, not towards it.

After sampling at Costco (Scottsdale) a few times, I broke down and bought them. Yes, pancake mix in a can is totally wasteful and targets the laziest of consumers. However, the convenience totally makes up for it. My hubby makes breakfast for the kids everyday - they are tired of cereal and he doesn't have time to make anything fancy. Pancake mix is easy, but it's powdery and there are sticky bowls and spoons to hassle with. The cans can be recycled and my kids get a hot breakfast once in a while. We all win.

awesome. we can't find them they are sold out everywhere around here. we use the product on our belgian waffle iron which creates the lightest, fluffiest waffle possible. The mix of air into the batter as it is dispensed onto the cooking surface cannot be created any other way that I know of. If your looking for low-density waffle that won't weigh you down ie it a try. It tastes amazing as well. I never even tried it as a pancake batter. We just love it as a waffle batter.

Great product, tastes great and is super easy. Thank You!
P.S. Don't you love how people leave negative comments and then hide behind "anonymous"!
