Diablo- toastie, sandwich, pizza calzone, pancake maker

[Scots_Charles_River]

I got this for Xmas, not used yet, so used it today. Lovely food. I tried two different pancakes.

One with -

• Water
• Mozzarella
• Flour
• Water
• Mixed Spice
• Spring onions

Tasted good.

One with -

• Egg
• Flour
• Water
• Tomatoes
• Oregano
• Carrot
• Veggy sausage

Very tasty.

I cooked using cardboard in a fire bowl. This meant I had to keep turning the maker over, to give even heat. Ideally, it should be in a fire under ashes or on a BBQ. You can also hold it over a gas flame, trangia or in an Aga. It's very robust and is ~150mm dia. so enough for one person and has a titanium non slip coating. The lip is not airtight, to avoid explosions, but does not allow the mix to drip out.

The only criticism is that the wire loop at the end of the double handle does not spring on, so as long as you grip by squeezing both handles - which is how you hold it anyway - it's fine.

8/10.
