Popover pans
Posted: Tue Nov 19, 2013 12:58 pm
I'm escalating the Yorkshire pudding wars by buying an American popover pan.
I read a review of them in a foodie magazine while in Missouri earlier this month but didn't have time or space in my case to buy one there so have now ordered an import via Amazon.
The article praised the open space around each individual pan as assisting the pudding inside to rise higher and straighter. It also suggested putting a reflective surface above it to help in cooking the top.
I saw this pan design some years ago at Jordan Pond House on Bar Harbour island, Maine, and they make thousands of perfect popovers (first time I came across that name also).
We alternate with good friends to cook Sunday dinner and when its beef we've been trying to outdo the other with our Yorkshire puddings.
I'm hoping this will put me in an unbeatable lead. Wish me luck!
