While my first batch didn't turn out all that well (I got impatient and flipped it too soon) this product worked as advertised.PROS:Allows you to make silver dollar pancakes quickly and in bulk. Great for a family that needs to feed multiple mouths and spending less time cooking and more time eating. Each cup holds a good amount of batter and allows for easy customization like adding chocolate chips, fruit, bacon bits, sausage crumbles, syrup or whatever you want in the middle of your pancake. The reality is that is a very versatile product that goes beyond just making pancakes, though that's its main function and appeal.CONS:The product didn't sit completely flat with in the pan but the leakage wasn't that bad, which means some of the pancakes won't turn out perfectly round but that's a nitpick. Unless you're entering a pancake beauty pageant this will get the job done allowing you to make loads of mini flapjacks in less time.One option is to hold down the non-flush areas for a minute or two after pouring the batter. Because it's silicon it doesn't get hot, but of course use caution when sticking your hand close to a hot pan.FINAL VERDICT:This is a great product and I look forward to trying out other things like making mini breakfast sliders by using two cups for pancake mix, another with scrambled egg and another with a breakfast sausage!
