   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.

   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.

   I was a little hesitant to order, because it didn’t have any heating controls - just off and on, but after reading the glowing reviews, I went ahead. I’m so glad I did! It’s like magic, seriously. It makes awesome Takoyaki, my daughter’s favorite snack food ever, and it also makes vada, those little filled pancake thingies whose name I’ve forgotten, it makes great poha balls and so much more. Cleanup is a snap, it’s small and doesn’t take up that much of my limited kitchen storage space, and it works every single time. You have to get the hang of timing for different recipes, but that just means you make more good things to eat.

   Really easy to use, turn on. Thats it. No need to worry about temperature or burning.
   + Easy to clean since its non stick
   - 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 dow

   Make good Takoyaki. Temperature is just right. I had thought the lack of temperature setting would be a problem but it turns out just fine. Heat is not even so testing for heat spots with experience help make good Takoyaki.

   Was watching old episodes of Iron Chef and saw them use a similar product and I wanted to try! I LOVE it! So many things you can make with it including pancake bites or egg bites for breakfast. I also got the batter and used shrimp for some tasty treats! Only Neg is all the wells didnt heat at the same time, so as they cooked I needed to move them to other wells to finish. Not a super huge deal as this is an additional fun kitchen gadget to play around with

   I never made takoyaki and was debating between a pan for my stove or the full electric. I figured when I cook Japanese I tend to need all the stovetop space I can get so I went with this all electric one. I used a bamboo skewer and had no problems rotating the balls. The heat was even, so no problems there. I did use bacon instead of octopus, but 100% of people who tried them have demanded I make more. So I can say I would definitely reccomend for ease of use and delicious finished product.
