I have to agree with Jane and give Batter Blasters two thumbs down. They are easy, I will give them that but the texture and flavor leave a LOT to be desired. The texture is strange, almost powdery. As for flavor, they don't taste like pancakes and they are extremely sweet. All you can taste is sugar. My wife refuses to even eat them because the texture bothers her so much. I say take a pass on these despite the alluring ease and novelty. Cheers and happy pancaking. I also saw these on the shelf at Costco and decided to give it a try.

Be careful with skillet temperature, the sugar content is a bit higher than usual and they tend to brown quickly. I wonder why the first pancake is always different - regardless of scratch or mix or propelled. The first one with Batter Blaster was a bit thinner and lace-like. The product is a real convenience.

I am not impressed. They burn easily and the texture is strange. Would I buy them again? No. I prefer the Krustez mix to Batter Blaster if I'm going to make pancakes.

I don't want to be a downer and such but two things came to mind. 1. Environment: More aerosol cans in our land fills? 2. Social: What have Americans become? And yes, there are some pros to this, i.e. convenience, making exact number of pancakes to reduce unwanted pancakes, ... Seeing that I am a college student, I can see the benefits for people of all ages but how is this going to help our future survive when if they don't use their own cooking skills and only depend on "instant food" depriving children from learning to cook for their own? If kids are taught how to cook and are introduced this product as a last resort or something for fun, then I think it's alright. I just shudder to think what they will come up with next...

We had a lady demonstrating these at our local grocer (Gene's supermarket in Saratoga) and my very very picky daughter loved them so I snatched them up. It is PERFECT for those with kids as I hate to make a huge batch of pancake and then the batter or pancakes never freeze that well. So, just when the kids want pancakes, a quick skirt from the can and voila'!! No more frozen pancakes. Oh, by the way, they plan to distribute these nationwide in 2008 and as stated above you can type in your zip to see if any local stores carry it.
