Taiyaki iron cast but no gas stove?

6 comments

1. Hell I’m a chef, and I’ve wondered about this. I don’t imagine it an electric stove would work, but you could try. My biggest worry would be damaging the stove top. Worst case you could get a portable gas range meant for camping.

2. Get a portable gas stove for like $20. You can use it for cooking nabe and stuff table-side too.

3. I think it would be hard to get even heating across the entire taiyaki pan. Does she have a gas grill? Or maybe she could invest in a tabletop gas burner. Would come in handy during a power outage/camping trip.

4. I think the portable gas burner suggestion is the best one.

   (Also I had hilariously bad results trying to use a tamagoyaki pan on an induction hob once, bad times.)

5. I have one at home and use it on my electric stove, works just fine ◡̈.

   I apparently didn’t consider the possibility that it would not work haha
   But I have no issues when cooking them over medium heat.

6. Does she own a induction stove?

   Then the answer is no.

   The same for Takoyaki, not all pans work.

   I have one from “Otafuku” and it works perfectly on a Induction stove.
