I love this little pan. I was looking forward to it's arrival. I washed it. oiled it down and left it on a very low flame on the stove for about an hour to "cure" it. Worked out wonderfully.My lil Aebleskivers were so fun to make. I even tried peanutbutter in them. So yums and so fun. I wished everybody had one of these. It's small but it's great fun!
