My family's Christmas traditions have always included a Christmas Eve meal of Aebleskiver with all the Danish trimmings. My children have been raised with this tradition, and now their children are doing the same. Over the years I have collected cast iron pans for all of my children so that they can continue the traditions. My youngest, a junior In college, has prepared Aebleskiver for his friends at school!
My wife just moved to a new home after living in the old house 25+ years. Our Aebleskiver was always made on a gas stove. The new house has a glass top electric stove. I did some research on line and there were many comments saying that one could damage the glass surface on the stove by using cast iron pans. I communicated with the family that our Christmas Eve tradition might have to change.
I then searched Amazon and saw the Norpro 3113 pan. Aluminum? Nonstick? From the comments written by other buyers, thy said that it worked well on their glass top electric stoves without causing any damage. Hmmmmmm. What do I have to lose?
I ordered 2 pans and they were delivered super fast. When all of the troops arrived, the batter was tripled and prepared like always. My daughter helped me make the Aebleskiver, both pans in action over medium heat with adjustments alone the way. The Aebleskiver came out perfect. We used canola spray on the nonstick surface before refilling each time. These pans do what they say they will do. The cost is minimal and the nonstick is a real treat! Others may have other results, but from a guy who has "flipped and turned" Aebleskiver for 45+ years, these pans saved our family tradition! We will quadruple the recipe next year!!!
