The Pancake Maker

On my recent February KARL excursion to Leavenworth, we stayed at a hotel, which featured various breakfast options.  This was my first experience with a pancake making machine.  Normally, most hotels have a make-your-own-waffle machine.  But, this machine was for pancakes!

You simply pushed the button on the front of the machine, and this started the pancake process.  On the LED monitor, two flashing rectangles popped up.  These represented your two pancakes.  The rectangles continued to flash and move across the screen.  Once the rectangle reached the edge of the screen, the first pancake could be seen coming out the end.  Don't worry, you had your plate sitting on the counter, ready for it to plop down.  Soon, the next rectangle reached the edge and the second pancake plopped on your plate.

The pancakes were perfectly browned -- and no mess!!  The best thing about the whole process, is that in about 1 minute, your pancakes were ready to eat.  I am not sure how the pancakes moved inside the machine, but I am guessing that it was a little conveyor system.  I think this is the perfect thing for hotels!  So, I hope you get to experience one some day in a hotel that you visit!
