StarBlue Takoyaki Maker - Electric Machine for Japanese Octopus Balls with FREE Picks - Easy to Operate, AC 120V 50/60Hz 650W

Having lived in Japan for more than 15 years off and on in my life, I have always loved the street vendors selling takoyaki and ebiyaki. This Takoyaki Maker reproduces the same quality and ease that were found on the streets of Tokyo! The unit works very well, and while there is not adjustable temperature control, the static setting is perfect for making takoyaki or other similar items. Cooks perfectly and the non-stick surface is easy to clean after use. We do not use the metal Takoyaki picks that come with the unit as they have the potential to scratch the teflon surface. We use either toothpicks or chopsticks sharpened to a point. Easy turning and great browning. The Takoyaki Maker can cook a wide array of similar foods for the balls. Those include everything from shrimp balls, veggie balls, and even mac-n-cheese balls! A small recipe book I highly recommend is available on Amazon that has a wide variety of things to do with the Maker. The title is "The Little Book of Takoyaki" and available at: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0316494127 This Takoyaki Maker rates Five Stars for ease of use and cleaning, as well as finished yaki's. I can give it my honest and very hearty recommendation. Bon Appetit!

I would recommend this product as its very convenient to use and hassle free . I had tried many variations of batters and egg recepies they came out good

Heats up super fast it’s easy to store and nothing has stuck to the pan

+ Really easy to use, turn on. Thats it. No need to worry about temperature or burning. + Easy to clean since its non stick + Came with 2 tongs to flip the takoyaki easily since using chopsticks or forks makes it hard to flip without damagingthe balls - Cooking is a bit uneven, one side is hotter than the other, but all comes out cooked, just crispier on the half farther from the switch - Easy to clean, BUT plate does not detatch so you have to wipe it down and not easily rinsable. Made an error when i complained with CS, CS replied immediately and fixed my problem. Really helpful. Would recommend.

Pan Tip for Takoyaki & Thai Coconut. This pan is made for takoyaki, so the shape is perfect—just the right size and beautifully round. You can use it for Thai coconut cup too. The pan holds heat really well. If the heat feels too strong or you’re having a hard time controlling it, simply turn it off for a moment and turn it back on when you’re ready. It’s very easy to manage.

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!

Product arrive and I noticed its very very light weight. It was very easy to use. The left side burns faster than the right side. As I tried to flip my cakes it was given little electric shocks and scared me. So I switched over to a wooden kebab stick. It still electric shocked me. My batter was not cooking evenly since left dude cooks faster and im scared to flip it. I ended up just let my batter sit until its done w left side charged black in order for right side to come out right. Too scare to flip or take left side out while right side still cooking. My husband tried to do the second batch since he didn't believe me. It shocked him too. What did it was when he tried to put a lid on the batter to try to cook it better, it shocked him hard. This thing is dangerous to use and does not cook evenly.

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!

Works good! If you are a takoyaki fan, you should go get one of this!

Muy buen producto, después de 8 usos está genial y cumple muy bien con au función

Es verdad que calienta bastante, pero una vez que le agarras la movida ya todo es excelente, les recomiendo usar mucho aceite o Mantequilla para evitar lo quemado, de igual manera que otros comentarios lo que hago es apagarlo y prenderlo cada cierto tiempo, me parece algo muy bueno por su precio y calidad de producto, lo utilizo tanto para salado como dulce 👍, nota : si no eres experto los palitos que trae pueden raspar el teflón, recomiendo utilizar otra cosa que no sea de metal para voltear las bolitas ❗

Nice one

A little on the small side in terms of the Takoyaki size but overall pretty good. Included tongs will scratch up the whole thing though, so use a different tool
