This almost puts you in the class with Stikes cooking. Looks great, but not sure I could get my Mrs. to eat one if I cooked them.

Hold up here - you glossed over the most important thing in your post! Where did you find an aebelskiver pan that big, and how many will it hold? Mine (and every other one i've found) only does 7, with the middle dimple being all but useless due to it's 100* higher temp...

Man oh man, skiver cookin' would be mighty fine if I could get that many in...

I have 2 units. The one you refer to is 7 dimples, probably cast aluminum an says ebleshiver apple on the back. The one I used is 19 dimples, 1/2 inch thick with handles cast iron and says Koopsman, mee fabrieken, leeuwarden and is probably from norway. Perhaps it is used for other things, but great on BGE for Shrooms. Little hot and heavy but functional.
