Now you're talking about how I flip pancakes or eggs/omelettes. Instead of a fork, I use a wooden spoon, turned so that the spoon side acts like a holder and a guide to keep your pancake/egg centred. Gently but firmly hold the spoon in your left hand (if you are right handed) against the left

Hi, That pan sounds interesting. Think I'll look into it. If I had the where with all, I'd design a waffle maker that had plates that flip over to be used for pancakes or sold with the pancake plates. I'd also have the waffle/pancake maker have a bell as well as a light. Jeanne

I have a griddle and a pancake turner with a part that goes over the top and holds the pancake while you flip it. I tried the turners with a lever that you push to make the pancake turn itself. Doesn't always land where you want it to. Unless you use the devices that cook both sides at once,

A sense of where it is helps. Make sure your spatula has a good edge to it, and slip it under the pancake and do a quick flip over. To practice this use a pot holder or one of those flat sink stoppers on a cool griddle and practice flipping it over by sliding the spatula under it and using a

Hi, Ah, makes sense. My problem with flipping pancakes (if I don't go with the clamshell recommendation which you smartly pointed out) is that they keep sliding off my spatula -- I'm not sure if that's the right word. I'm talking about the wide, thin, and usually metal thing you use for

The name of the pan is a griddle. When making pancakes I go for "hot cake" sized, around 2.5-3 inches in diameter, and I don't overfill the griddle so I have room to turn them over without landing on another one of them. This depends on your griddle -- if you have a larger one, like my two
