Fuck yeah.

OMG that is too sad - aside from camping, there is no reason for that to exist. Are we really that lazy a race? lol

Quick and easy way to make one pancake with no clean up. Probably tastes like shit, though.

I could use stuff like that on the boat. How simple would it be? For once, I think I would like something in a can. It's a miracle.
Elspode • Feb 16, 2008 10:48 pm
Backpacking pancakes? Fuck, yeah.

To be technically accurate, it's pancake batter in a can. I was picturing a can of actual pancakes. Sort of like frozen pancakes but able to be stored at room temperature.

This was a letdown. I'm holding zewb personally responsible.;)

sorta like the cheeseburger, rich?

Breakfast will never be the same, as Spartan Foods of America pu4s it. Hot off the griddle from the Spartanburg, SC-based processor are Mama Mary's Homestyle pancakes--six microwavable, ready-to-eat pancakes in spiral-wound paperboard canister from Sealright. The company chose Sealright's Ultrakan [TM] packaging system, which forms the round, 6.333-in.-diameter, 3.9-in.-tall canister to assist its the newest member of the breakfast hope meal replacement segment.


looks like they come ina box now, though.

well, is it actually pre-processed batter? or has that person simply put it in a squeeze tube for application into the pan?

If the latter, it's not too bad of an idea, really. Have to watch out for lumps, though, and pancake batter isn't supposed to be whipped or anything.
xoxoxoBruce • Feb 18, 2008 12:25 am
Yes, commercially packaged batter in a squirt can, like CheezWiz.

I just bought a pack yesterday and they look pretty good.
I got them because I need a quick breakfast and I don't have much for storage space.
Cloud • Feb 18, 2008 2:02 pm
well, ick then. Bisquick is bad enough.
Tink • Feb 18, 2008 2:17 pm
Doesn't seem like you'd get too many pancakes out of that. And I can only imagine how much that can costs.

I'll stick with pancakes from scratch or Bisquick thank you very much.
toranokaze • Feb 20, 2008 7:57 pm
They do not cost that much

I finally got my hands on some Batter Blaster. When the internet first told me about this shit I couldn’t believe it, fucking pancake batter in a bottle. This shit is fucking organic too! I copped it at Whole Foods, they keep them in the refrigeration aisle. Batter Blaster is cute cause you get to shoot it on the pan but that’s for kids. I wanted to spray this shit in my deep fryer for some real magic. These are the results.

Oh crikey me - deep fried pancakes (bleurgh) I've seen it all now.

I have to admit that pancakes in a bottle/ can are the first "lazy cook" items that I have approved of. If I had had access to this on Shrove Tuesday I would have bought it. Why? Because HM was playing badminton and I would have quite liked to celebrate with pancakes. But I would have only wanted one - two at most - and I'm not going to bother with a lot of washing up for that.

I agree it is very suitable for boats and camping also.

Pancakes in a can? I has 'em. Organic, no less.
They're decent. I'd like to know a better method for cooking one pancake.

Note: I bought these on a personal recommendation from a friend who squirts them in a waffle maker.

Your organic pancakes are destroying the ozone layer.

Did you get them from a store, or did you have to buy them online?

Yeah they'd be great camping if you like to leave your trash in the woods. I don't like to carry around a bunch of trash with me, nor would I chuck it. regular old pancakes are easy enough to premix the dry and keep all your eggs in a number of water/egg proof baskets.

But for car camping they'd be the balls or tits, depending.
Clodfobble • May 20, 2008 10:49 pm
But... how is the empty "premix" bag and empty egg basket not the same thing as carrying around an empty spray can?
lumberjim • May 20, 2008 11:17 pm

in a factory ....down ...townnnnnn

The premix bag is paper and gets burned in the fire and weighs a lot less than a steel can. It's a weight issue and a multi purpose thing. The empty bag can be reused for another purpose. The eggs go into a wide mouth nalgene bottle in case of breakage. When the bottle is empty it can be used for water or some other storage need. And is also lighter than steel.

Having eggs means they can prepared many ways in addition to making pancakes. pancakes in a can pretty much means your gonna have pancakes. I like to cook and like to keep my options open.
