Finally I gave up. The as seen on TV people have finally one and I bought one of their damn products.  This fucking pancake puff pan has been mocking me ever since I saw it at my local target. Apparently the Dutch use this thing for this pancake crap but I have always wanted a pan to make takoyaki in. None of the asian stores sell the pans around here and this was the only way. So I just broke down and bought the damn pan.

Next thing you know ill be making my takoyaki in a snuggie and cleaning up the mess with a shamwow. Bastards.
