Amazon.com Review

Cooking for a crowd? These rings allow you to fry up to four precisely sized eggs or flapjacks at a shot. Or you can boost efficiency by cooking separate items in the same pan without creating an unintentional goulash. The rings' nonstick surface makes for less mess during serving and cleanup, and they're easy to assemble or take apart. --Emily Bedard

4.0 out of 5 stars great egg rings, but don't bother using for pancakes!, November 8, 2003

These rings are the perfect size for making eggs to put on english muffins or small hamburger buns. (like the Breakfast Jack) I have not tried to make pancakes in them, because they would be really tiny and I do not have a need for perfectly round pancakes. This product consists of four separate rings that can connect to a handle. I have had my best results when I just use the rings by themselves and don't bother with the handle. The eggs still stick to the edge of the ring a little bit, so I have to tap the spatula against the ring as I am lifting it up (using a glove-style potholder. When the rings are all connected it is harder to get each egg out of the ring cleanly. Also, be aware that if your pan is a little warped, then a little bit of egg can leak from under the ring. If you just leave it, however, the little bit that leaks will cook fast and prevent more from leaking out.
Overall, I love these! I worked at Jack in the Box as a teenager and have always wanted egg rings. I gave it 4 stars just because the handle is kind of flimsy and it really is impractical to use for pancakes.

This review is from: Nonstick 4-Piece Egg/Pancake Ring Set (Kitchen)

I love all kinds of yeast raised breads, and recently I discovered British crumpets. These are a kind of thick pancake batter raised with yeast, and cooked on one side until the top is dry. The top is covered with holes, which suck up the butter when you toast them. Crumpets can be made without rings, but they end up thin at the edges and thicker in the center - less than perfect for soaking up that butter. I readily found crumpet rings galore in UK and AU, but finally discovered that they are called 'pancake rings' here in the states. I've never needed rings for pancakes, and several other reviewers are equally mystified as to why anyone would want perfectly round pancakes.

So buy these and try one of the many crumpet recipes online.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for making eggs to fit in an English Muffin, April 20, 2002

By A Customer

I was hoping they were just a little larger. Fortunately, I was able to find many uses for them. I realized they were great for making eggs that fit precisely inside an English Muffin. This gives you an idea of the size of these egg/pancake rings. All four rings can be used in a 10in. nonstick frying pans.
