Takoyaki Maker with FREE Takoyaki picks

Works great. Takes a little getting used to how much to fill and how much oil to use. But once you get the hang of it, it produces some some gorgeous Takoyaki... Or Ebiyaki in our case. You will want to make sure you are heavy on the oil so they will turn for you. Out of the gate the first batch, that was what we realized. I would also maybe use chop sticks or wooden scewers to turn them until you get used to it. The forks that come with it could scratch it, especially if you find that you didn't add enough oil and try to use it to loosen it. When ours wouldn't slide on their own with a nudge of the forks we immediately switched to wooden skewers. The next batch with more oil and less batter worked well. They all came out great and were yummy. No damage was done making them. But worth mentioning because we were a bit surprised they sent metal scewers as a tool for a Teflon coated unit. Good to mention this to the people in your family who love Ebiyaki but are not as aware of the fork to Teflon issue.The temperature control seems to be adequate as well. This is a really fun little device to have especially if you enjoy making various types of foods from all around the world. We do, so having appliances making this a little simpler, means we get to enjoy it more often! It really is super simple to make them. Again the trick is just adding enough oil and not too much batter. Don't be afraid to try this out! It's super fun for the family!

Easy to use...love it

I like very much , I canEasy to cook my traditional food

I have been using this for almost a year now. This is the first time I'm writting a review on this product. I'd say I never had any problem from the first time I used this up until now. I use this to make shrimp balls for my kids. There is only one thing though... the sides and the middle part of this Takoyaki maker heats up differently. Just give yourself 2 to 3 tries and you'll get used to it. As for cleaning, just use dish washing soap and sponge then rinse. On the side, get a paper towel or cloth, damp with water and wipe the sides of the Takoyaki Maker. As simple as that.

I went it having no clue what I was doing but they didn’t turn out too bad. The ones in the back tend to cook faster than the ones in the front so I’ll be mindful if that when I make takoyaki.

Highly recommend it!!

Just got this an hour ago and put it to use! Easy to use! Turn on, wait until hot, pour my batter and flip when time. It’s nonstick and I did not have to use any oil. My batter flipped easily! I used this for a Thai dessert and it turned out great. This is a much better price than the cast iron pans. There’s no overly hot pan or needing to watch it too close. To clean up I just wet a napkin and wiped when it cooled a little.

It works like you'd expect but you need to keep a constant eye on each ball as the heating is uneven. Some will be done much sooner than others.

For home consumption 👍

I am very much an avid fan of Japanese food and tend to cook/make it from time to time. Ramen, omurice, sushi, and now takoyaki.The machine is amazing though there's definitely a learning curve you'll have to get through.Just know that the ones in the middle are likely to cook faster than the outer ones (well for my machine anyways). Also, you have to learn to be quick since if your planning on making several at a time, take too long with one and you'll burn the others.Overall, end result is worth it. Just be patient and have fun.

This Takoyaki making machine works well and great. I recommend 👌

es muy sencillo de usar, el problema es que solo tiene un botón de on/off y no tiene regulador para controlar la temperatura, se calienta mucho y se queman los alimentos si no se mueven rápido. la opción que vi para voltearlos e intentar que no se quemen es apagarlo y volver a encender, pero hay que hacerlo rápido.

Pros:- Cheap price- Makes 18 at a time- One button to control it all- Heats up to the right temperature- Small and can fit on a dining table; good for family timeCons:- Short-ass cord, thankfully we had an outlet on our kitchen isle- Indicator light does NOT turn off when done heating, unlike the directions state (I did not see it turn off after 30+ minutes of being on)- Heating is somewhat uneven, one side heats faster than the other- I think I experienced for a moment the electric shock others mentioned. I saw no sparks, but briefly felt a pulling sensation in my pointer finger when it got close to the plate, similar to a shocking pen. It was only once though, and I could essentially touch the machine anywhere else with no shock. I used plastic takoyaki turners.- A bit of a beach to clean. The plate is not removable and the directions say to throw the machine out if you were to get the inside wet (presumably to avoid lawsuits). This means you can’t just clean it in the sink, you have to go over it carefully with dish soap and wipe up the soap in multiple passes with damp paper towels, or probably a damp washrag would be easier.- Comes with metal (?) turners; should come with plastic

My takoyaki came out pretty ok considering that was my first try. The metal picks did scratch my maker, and I’m unhappy about that since those were the picks that came with it. You also have no control over the temperature either, there is a on/off button and that was it.

The coating is bad. We received it broken. And the tools came with it scratched the coating so easily!!!!!

I bought this to specifically make tiny pancakes. Nothing else 😂! It’s super easy to use and clean. It only has one temperature setting - it’s either on or off, so you have to be watching it to turn the pancakes on time before they burn, I only had a couple burn but honestly they were still good! I would definitely recommend this product.

Omg so I was craving takoyaki. I’m from NYC and moved to a small town. The restaurants not only don’t have this but if they did probably wouldn’t be very good. So I bought this pan and had little expectations. I forgot to take a pic in the pan but this little takoyaki cooker is everything! I felt bad buying yet another kitchen gadget because I already have a waffle maker but this is sooooo awesome! For less then $20 this thing is so versatile. I prefer to dip my takoyaki in sauce. The balls are crunchy on the outside soft on the inside. I can make so many cute appetizers with this. So happy with this purchase. I’m really surprised. I use a cooking spray. I wait for the balls to form and bubble on top and flip them. Constantly moving them until they are brown. This is automatic so you have to keep an eye on it. My first time was a learning curve but the second batch was a lot easier to use and looked a lot nicer. This is super easy to clean and very small so easy to store.

Overall, I think this is a great product! There definitely is a learning curve to making this but I’d say the first time was a success! The only reason I’d give it 4 stars is because of the “ease of cleaning.” Because it is all one item, it cannot be run under running water for risk of damaging the appliance. One has to use a sponge or paper towel to clean the residue. It isn’t so bad, but it would be better if it could have a detachable component that can be washed and then reattached afterwards. I did like how it came with two picks to rotate the balls within each hole. Pic to showcase my first batch of takoyaki 😋

This takoyaki maker is AMAZING!!! I always randomly crave takoyaki, but there's no good restaurant near me that sells good takoyaki. So what do I do? Buy this and start watching lots of YouTube videos, and wow, this grill is so great! It doesn't have any adjustable temperatures, but it cooks the takoyakis perfectly - you just have to be quick! I was nervous about cleaning, since all the electric parts are together, but the grill itself is super easy to clean, so just angling it or using a wet cloth to clean it works well. It also comes with the sticks to help flip the takoyakis, which probably would've made it easier if I realized that earlier...Overall, this was a great purchase, and all of my friends and I enjoyed our two rounds of takoyaki!
