Restaurants How do the Jetsons make pancakes?

What is it? A sex toy? Pancakes for astronauts? No, it's Batter Blaster, aerosolized pancake and waffle batter. Just spray on and cook. And it's organic! Organic food under pressure! EZ, convenient and oh-so-environmentally-friendly.
This product has been around about a year and actually has received pretty good reviews. Reader Phil Mutz says he couldn't resist buying it during a recent shopping trip. He hasn't tried it yet.

I was tempted to buy this, but ultimately resisted. Organic or not, the unnaturalness of pressurized, canned batter was really unappealing.

I too have read startlingly good reviews about it as well but am on board with the sensation that there is something unseemly in buying batter in a spray can.
The in-laws picked up a few cans of this at Sam's. Our review: tasty and convenient but not necessarily a lot of bang for your buck.
My mom bought these and served them to my kids. They are terrible. They have a faintly plastic-y taste. Also, whatever gas they are pumped full of to make the pancakes fluffy makes the pancakes seem to deflate when you bite them.
100% agree with JR. Wife and I were given a free can of this to try and we were woefully unimpressed. Threw it out after the first batch because they tasted so bad. The convenience does not outweigh the fact that it makes a nasty pancake. That said, it does show promise for fraternity initiations (take that however you like).
We picked up this at the Costco on Barrett Parkway a few months ago when I saw this idea on the Discovery channel talking about new products. The pancakes come out light and fluffy every time, the waffles end up a bit crisper though- the batter seems to work better for pancakes.
