Anyone else having problems, when making pancakes, the pancake is still wet/gooey?

When we try to make them too thick or too big, they don't cook through. Keep them thin and small and they will be delicious.

Make the batter a little thinner and cook the pancake longer on the first side.

Make sure not to over stir the mix and let it sit for a few minutes before cooking the pancakes. Makes them light and fluffy.

I've found that weighing the dry mix gives more consistent results. Pouring from the bag into a measuring cup or dipping the measure into the bag gives wildly varying results. For all pancakes I was taught by my grandmother to 1. be sure the pan is hot enough, water drops need to dance and 2. don't disturb or flip the cakes until the bubble activity has slowed and most the bubbles have burst AND the edge of the cake appears dry all the way up and over the edge on the top. The thicker the batter the thicker the cake and the longer this process will take increasing the risk of burning the bottom. Don't be tempted to peek at the bottom as this will only makes the problem worse. I've found that weighing the dry mix gives more consistent results.

Perhaps you are adding too much water. I have never had a problem with these pancakes.

I have never had a problem using the pancake mix. As long as you were making the batter according to the instructions your Pan is hot enough and the pancakes are brown enough you should be okay I wouldn't understand why they would be wet or goey,I never had that issue. Try it again and make sure your pan is well heated.

I have only used mine a few times and I had these same issues the first time I used it. With subsequent I made sure the counter was very wet (not just a few sprinkles) and I used quite a bit of flour. I live in a very dry, mountain climate and have to add extra water to my dough so it won't crack around the edges. I think it just takes practice to find the right amounts. Hope this helped some.

When I've cooked eggs in the pan they just fall out. They haven't stuck yet.

I have made the pancakes without eggs and without egg replacer. I just added more liquid and it turned out well.

I'm glad I'm not the only one with an uncleanable pan. I've tried everything said below, baking soda, laundry detergent, rock salt, boiling water in it and nothing seems to work. I sort of hate this pan :(

I have not had that problem but, then again, I have always used oil when cooking with this pan. Sorry that I can't be more helpful.

With some gentle prying, I am almost always able to remove the waffles without them splitting apart. Occasionally, I do not put enough oil in and end up with a torn waffle. Is the pan too hot when you pour the batter in? Is the oil burning? Also, I have found that, for some reason, the whole wheat recipe included on the package sticks a bit more than the other recipes. And make sure the pan is completely clean of any dried or burnt batter before cooking another waffle.

Try using distilled water. We had that problem until we started using distilled water to steam the eggs.

Hasn't been for us. Still works good. We cook pancakes on it all the time. A real thin egg mix for omelets or something like that doesn't work but thicker liquids like pancakes no problem.

Don't know. I haven't had that problem. Still using it whenever I make pancakes or bacon... a couple of times a week. Like it much better than the large skillet I used before I got it... especially for pancakes, much easier with this and can make more at once.

Mine started sticking too.. made ugly cakes and I threw it out. I know they were meant to not stick for more than using them a few times. I sprayed with the flour spray thinking maybe it would work better but some still stuck. The pans cost too much not to be better than this. I thought I was buying the best brand of pan. I washed by hand each little cake hole. Nothing was sticking on them that would have caused this problem. Just disappointed. If, anyone has an answer to this I would really like to know.

Mine did the same thing. I bought 4 pans and was able to get all 4 to work by mixing and matching. They are great pans but the manufacturer needs better quality control.

I haven't had that problem. I use it pretty much only for pancakes. My issue is that the heating isn't very even. But to get really even heat I think you'd have to invest a lot. So for the price it's ok.

No. If you want temps this low you can purchase a griddle that has a warming pan which is usually right under the regular griddle. This does not have one. This makes great pancakes but always be sure and spray lightly with oil even though it is non-stick.

Scrape off the areas that are gooey and wet then mix again and re pour. I found that it really helped when I mixed it up on a scale so I had the same amount of both in weight. Had no problems after that. Also I was told by the company to mix well in a disposable container for exactly a minute then pour in a new container and mix for another whole minute with a new mixing stick. Throw both containers away after that.

Try spraying, lightly, with a canola oil or your choice before baking. Mine is just great.
