Better than the reviews
November 6, 2012
I'm surprised to see the low reviews on here and I agree with the better reviews... read the instructions (!!) and save yourself the grief! If you oil the inside of the molds and preheat them, like I do - then your kids (and you) will be happy pancake eating campers! I've made Halloween, Christmas and Marvel pancakes in addition to these and I'm the star for the day with my kids because of it!
Pros: Easy to Store, Shape, Design

Great pancake molds....
September 28, 2012
I bought these molds as a birthday gift for my great-nephew who is a BIG cars fan! He loved them and his mother (my niece) says that he wants to eat pancakes all day. This is a good way to your kids to eat breakfast especailly when they can assist with mixing the pancake batter, ( I also bought the batter pen) . I would definitely recommend this to my friends.
Pros: Durable, Easy to Use, Easy to Clean, Size, Design

The worst!!
August 7, 2012
My mother in law buys these for my 3 year old for every occasion and they are the worst! Even after spraying the fancy griddle and the molds so much, you can NOT get the cute little mold out of the shape and they are so hot so you burn yourself trying. I have tried a butter knife, etc. do not buy these...waste of money and huge disappointment for my little guy waiting for a car pancake. More like a car mess!!
Cons: Difficult to Clean, not non stick!!

CAR Molds for Pancakes
August 6, 2012
The molds did not function as expected. They did not fit down flat to the pan and they stuck to the sides of the molds. They did not come out as easy as I thought they would. It was more of a car crash than anything.
Cons: Difficult to Clean

the trick to making this work
July 29, 2012
I have multiple pancake molds from W.S... star wars, Christmas, etc. Here's how you get them all to work: spray the mold w/ veg spray & place them in the pan (I use cast iron) while it pre-heats. The mold MUST be hot before you pour the batter in. When the pancake is ready to flip, use a butter knife to push down on the nooks & crannies of the pancake while you pull the mold up. Also, I think these molds work better w/ scratch recipes than they do with pancake mixes.
Pros: Durable, Quality
Cons: hard to store

Nonstick my eye
June 16, 2012
I bet the person who wrote the marketing copy NEVER used them. By far the worst product I have ever used from Williams Sonoma. I'm embarrassed that I gave them as a gift to people I love. Do not buy.
Cons: Difficult to Clean, impossible, consistently bad results

Very Difficult but cute when it works
March 30, 2012
My boys LOVE Cars so I bought these. I got them once and they came out miserable so I returned them. After much whining I repurchased. Still miserable.
Some tips to make them fun, instead of a night mare.
- I dipped mine in oil to make sure that they were non stick (worked for the most part). Spray didn't work for me and wiping them down was too hard to get all the nooks and crannies
- I put the molds on the pan right when I turned on the heat so that they were screaming hot when I put the batter in (the batter cooks to the side making it easier to flip)
- I used a large pour bottle (think mustard bottle) to fill the molds. It helped get all the small areas.
- since the molds are crazy hot I use a oven mitt to hold the handle and the back of a spoon to get the pancake out of the mold before flipping.

READ INSTRUCTION before you use
February 28, 2012
I disagree the 1-star reviews about the sticking problem. Please read the instruction. On the wrape, the instruction clearly states that you need to GREASE the inside of the molds. I followed the instruction, and the pancakes came out perfectly. Clean or soak the molds right away when the batter is still soft. It is very easy to clean even the little tiny parts. I bought another set for my friend's child for his birthday. Fun tools.
Pros: Durable, Easy to Use, Size, Design

Good idea but sticks
February 25, 2012
There has got to be away to prevent the pancake batter from sticking. My first try was a miserable failure. I will try spraying with a nonstick spray. Worth trying again.
Others should share how they succeeded.
Only way to clean was soak and use a brush.

A Huge Hit!!
February 1, 2012
My 2 year old is obsessed with Cars and loves his Cars Pancakes in the mornings. I use these at least once a week and after a couple of tries got the system perfected.
We have had many Lightning McQueen Pancake races at the breakfast table!
I will say that they are hard to clean but a very small bottle brush works well in the nooks and crannies!

Do not waste your money!

Do not waste your money on these. The pancakes stick to the mold and cleaning them is terrible! These were such a good idea but apparently were not tested enough! Loved the idea!

My kids love them
October 4, 2011
My kids love the pancake shapes but the are kinda hard to clean, the pancake mix sticks to the mold so it's also a little hard to turn over and keep the same shape on both sides, but both my kids love the shapes and ask for them all the time so we'll keep using them.
Pros: Durable, Easy to Use, Quality, Easy to Store, Size, Shape, Weight

Aweful Product
September 21, 2011
These pancake molds are absolutely awful. No matter what you do or how much pancake mix you put into them, the pancakes do not come out easily and end up breaking. You'd be better off making small pancakes and using the cookie cutters to make them. If they want to make these better, get rid of the useless inside markers in the molds and just have them make the outlines of the cars. too many small sections that cause the pancake to get caught.
Pros: Durable
Cons: Difficult to Clean, Difficult to Store, pancakes do not come out easily

Stuck to the mold
September 21, 2011
I bought these for my nephews birthday, and I had the pancakes stuck to the molds. I tried to grease them like the instructions said and that did not work. The pancakes did not look come out good at all. They are not easy to clean either.

They stick
September 20, 2011
I have other Sonoma molds, but these were not fun. I used up a lot of cooking spray and the batter still stuck to the mold, epecially in the numbers and eyes. It was hard to clean in those areas too. I use them now for cake decorating outline and cookies.
Pros: Size

Don't Bother!
August 31, 2011
Bought these to make with my Duaghter since she loves Cars. The pancake batter stuck to the molds (even thought I used cooking spray) and I couldn't remove the molds. My pancakes came out horrible. I'm disappointed in myself for not reading the reviews before I spent $30 on junk! Oh and they are difficult to clean as well.
Cons: Difficult to Clean
