Abstract:

A device that automatically, rapidly, and consistency bakes and browns pancakes (also known as hotcakes, griddlecakes, flapjacks, and French Crêpes) without the use of the traditional frying pan. Convection heating is used to bake the inside of the pancake while radiation heating is used to brown the top and the bottom of the pancake. This device allows individuals unskilled in the art to create consistently cooked pancakes without constant monitoring. The operator simply pours in the pancake batter and presses one single button. The baking and browning process is controlled by two user adjustable timing circuits, the later of which turns the unit off and signals the operator. Low mass components permit rapid warm up and rapid cool down.
