Star Wars(TM) Heroes & Villains Pancake Molds
A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, a Jedi Kitchen Master used the Force to create three pancake molds in honor of his favorite galactic hero and villains: Yoda, Darth Vader and a stormtrooper. Use these molds to add whimsy and fun to your next pancake breakfast. Set of three Star Wars nonstick steel pancake molds in Yoda, Darth Vader and stormtrooper shapes. Easy to use: place on a preheated griddle and pour in your batter; once the first side has set, remove the molds and flip the pancakes. Handles facilitate lifting and fold down for storage.

So cute, but good luck getting them to work
June 17, 2013
These are GREAT if you love torturing yourself with adorable-looking gadgets that promise wonderful whimsical experiences. My themed father's day breakfast went up in smoke and flames - literally - by using these adorable little horrible things. I will never look at Yoda the same because I can't get the stuck-batter flaming & smoking image out of my mind. After experimenting with filling these up to different levels, greasing them, etc., I still wound up with an inability to get the pancake batter out of the mold in order to flip the pancake over. It was "pancake wars" not Star Wars. Save yourself some major grief and just say no to these cute little things.
Cons: they just don't work

Worst product EVER!
April 21, 2013
They don't work, the handles get too hot, the pancakes don't release from teh molds, they tear when you attempt to release them. you have to use too much batter and then you have over-cooked & underdone pancakes at the same time. The cookie press works much better at creating the Star Wars figures on a pancake. DO NOT PURCHASE! I'm returning mine immediately.
Cons: Quality, Difficult to Clean, awkward to use

Takes a bit of work but loads of fun
April 7, 2013
It does take some work to get them to come out in the shape without butchering them trying to get them out of the mold. Would have been good if the clip that folds was a pressure clip that loosened the mold. Def need to spray the mold before, make the batter a bit more watery than normal and only fill it between 1/3 to 1/2 of the mold itself. Works like a charm and everyone at home loves it!
Pros: Quality, Easy to Store, Shape
Cons: Difficult to Clean, tough not to damage pancake

Fed Up !!!
March 4, 2013
These are so disappointing. I have tried these several times with no luck. I have tried greasing them up but they still stick. Bought both sets and the Sesame Street ones. What a waste of money.
Pros: Design
Cons: food sticks

Love my Star Wars pancake molds!
January 24, 2013
I love these pancake molds. I spray them down really well before using them, and also let them warm up a bit on the pan before pouring in the batter. I don't have any trouble using them that way. They add a little extra fun to Saturday morning pancakes!
Pros: Durable, Easy to Use, Shape, Design

Pancake molds R fun
January 21, 2013
People need to grease pancake molds before they use them. Make sure you have a flat cast-iron pan to cook them so the pancake batter wont spread out from under the mold.
Pros: Durable, Quality, Easy to Store, Size, Shape, Weight
Cons: Difficult to Clean, batter sticks to them

Holds Shape well
January 3, 2013
The only comment I have is to buy the pancake pen from Williams Sonoma. I just ordered it after trying to use a measuring cup and knife to make sure the pancakes fit the shape of the mold correctly. Also, I used my own recipe and the pancakes were a little more fluffy than I would have liked to have had. I will try the recipe on the package next time! :)
Pros: Durable, Easy to Store, Size

A Real Crowd Pleaser!
May 21, 2012
I surprised my huband when I used these to make pancakes, and he LOVED them! He immediately whipped out his phone, took a pic and posted it on FB. I've gotten dozens of compliments since then. Everyone wants to know where they can get the molds. I can't wait to make them for my nieces and nephews! And, I'll definitely bring these when we go camping!
I was afraid that the batter would run under the edges of the molds, but the mold laid very flat, so they were very easy to use.
I noticed was that the batter sticks easily if you don't use a little non-stick spray. I heated my electric griddle, set the mold down on it, sprayed a tiny bit of cooking spray and used a pancake pen to fill the molds. When the 1st side was ready, I used a butter knife to jiggle a few small areas where the pancake stuck. Easy peasy!
I love these! I'm going to order the other shapes to add more variety and cook breakfast a little quicker. Enjoy! :)
Pros: Easy to Use, Quality, Easy to Clean, Easy to Store, Size, Design, storage bag
Cons: handles get hot

Make sure you spray with no-stick!
March 6, 2012
These molds make pancakes fun!
It was a bit tricky to get the consistency of the batter just right, and I highly recommend using a pancake pen. Even then, it was tricky to get the pancake out of the mold when it was done---until I started spraying the molds with no-stick first. Then everything worked swimmingly! I've been washing them in the dishwasher with no troubles. I put nails in the wall above my stove and have them hanging there--a nice conversation piece.

love these
February 26, 2012
These are fun and relatively easy to use. I read some reviews about the product not releasing pancakes easy and such. I used a standard pancake mix, but added extra milk to make the batter more runny than usual. I also purchased a pancake pen from Williams Sonoma and this made it easy to poor the batter into the molds. I can't imagine trying to use these molds without something like the pen. I just used it for the first time this morning and had very little issues. I also sprayed the molds with crisco butter spray to help with any sticking issues.
In the end, it's a great product - lots of fun at breakfast. My kids loved it!
Pros: fun

AWESOME -- but some tips for use
February 15, 2012
These works GREAT! Here are some tips I learned...
1) USE A GRIDDLE! I have an inexpensive griddle but it is a DREAM -- can't imagine trying this in a pan -- too small, uneven heating, etc. etc.! Don't waste your time and efforts if you don't have a griddle.
2) Get the batter bottle! This makes it SO quick and easy to make lots of pancakes neatly!
3) Use the recipe they provide. It's a lot runnier a batter than my regular recipe, but it WORKS.
4) Set the molds in a shallow dish of veg oil AND use a pastry brush to oil it between batches.
5) Don't flip too early!
6) When it's time to flip the pancake, use a rubber spatula under the mold -- that way, it supports the pancake and you can flip it much easier.
7) Support Yoda's ears! :)

So awesome for nerdy breakfast!
February 14, 2012
I am the new hero at breakfast time. These molds are too cute! In an good vs evil kind of way. Yes, they are tricky, yes they take some work to clean, yes, they are totally worth it! Have some patience when you first get them and experiement a little. This is what I have found works best: spray mold w some cooking oil & put it on the skillet or griddle to warm up. Once that thing is hot, spray with more oil for good measure. Pour your batter in (pancake pen is a big help here) - but make sure you don't over do it because the batter rises and will get realy stuck in there. When the batter starts to bubble, test the mold by giving it a bit of a shake to see if you can pull it off or not. If it seems kinda sticky, just give it a good shake and wiggle and it should slide off. Be careful when flipping, esp w Yoda. As for cleaning, toss them in soapy water as soon as you're done and get into crevices with a brush. No problem!
Pros: Durable, Quality, Easy to Store, Size, Shape, nerdtastic

Impossible
February 12, 2012
These have been sitting unused for months. I have tried greasing them, and spraying them but they stick like crazy no matter what. The end result is a huge mess....

Perfect breakfast for a little boy
February 1, 2012
I bought these molds with a fear of sticking (based on prior reviews), but was pleasantly surprised! I preheated the molds and then used Crisco spray right before I put the batter in the molds. I let them cook on side one and then used a potholder to lift the mold (with a little shake to loosen)....no sticking!! I was able to take a wipe any batter that was on the top and use them again immediately. My son LOVED his Star Wars pancakes and begs me to make them every weekend!

Totally Agree- Must pre-heat the molds
I have found that most people complain that the molds stick but like this person, if you pre-heat the mold it makes it MUCH easier to get the pancake out. Once we figured out that little trick, we have had no problems! :o)

Very poorly made product
January 26, 2012
This product is poorly made and too difficult to use.
Of the three molds, only one is fully usable. The Yoda mold is uneven and won't lie flat on the pan; the pancake batter leaks out the bottom during cooking. The Stormtrooper mold arrived with one eye missing; the resulting pancake appears to be winking at us from the plate.
The Darth Vader mold is the only one to be constructed with any quality; however, it is very difficult to arrive at a properly formed Vader-shaped pancake. This is because there's only half an inch of space between the "eye hole" and the edge. The finished pancake is just too fragile to safely remove from the mold without tearing in two.
Of course, getting to that finished pancake is a huge hassle and not worth the effort. For starters, the mold must be allowed to heat up on the pan before you pour the batter. Also, the entire mold must be heavily greased or else you will not be able to remove the pancake when it comes time to flip it.
Pros: Easy to Store
Cons: Quality, Difficult to Use

Good in Theory
January 24, 2012
I really got excited about this idea. However, when it arrived we received 2 Yoda's and Darth Vader and no Stormtrooper. I guess that is better than not getting Yoda?
As for using the products, they are quite difficult and time consuming. The pancake mix sticks and the molds have to be washed for each use. However, the kids think it is the coolest! So, that is worth 2 stars.
