My wife and I in action!

Why should you listen to me for advise on aebleskiver?

In 1966 I started the Solvang Restaurant in Solvang California and made aebleskiver my specialty. It kind of evolved. Not that I set out to be an expert on this particular food item.  We did experiment for awhile, until the recipe we used became very famous and is now the standard in the business. 

We served aebleskiver for breakfast, lunch and in between snacks. The automatic desert was always aebleskiver and soon the word spread and people lined up for them all day long. We sold them by the thousands and when we started to bag the mix and sell it to the customers, that too became extremely popular. We sold it by the tons every day. People wrote and called for them and we build a huge mail order business.

We were also asked where they could buy the pans and I soon realized I could sell them in the restaurant, so that became a huge sideline also.

Over the years we have tried every single pan that became available on the market.  We tested them for usability and ease of care. There was no pan I did not have a test result on and people kept asking me for advise.

When we sold the restaurant to retire, I decided to keep some of the pans.  We kept selling the pans to friends and former customers and it was a natural, that when I decided to start selling pans on eBay and my website, I could advise which ones were the good ones.

When you are shopping to find the best pan for your use, you are always welcome to consult with me for free.  Let me know what kind of stove the pan will be used on and how much you plan on using it and I will stir you in the right direction.

You can also go to my website and learn how to make them by watching the video on my site. We also give instructions on how to season the pans and which ones need to be seasoned and which ones do not. Also how to clean them after use is covered there.

We have the largest selection of pans on my site with an in-depth description on each pan. You will also see the aebleskiver mix we have for sale there and the jam we use for them. 

You will have fun to just browse the site for information and we also have available the history on how they came to be for free to you. Read it and have a laugh.

Remember we are here to help you for free and we love to hear from each and everyone of you.

See you on the net.

Upkeep and cleaning tips.

Sometimes you will encounter the problem that the pan builds up a coating of carbon that interferes with cooking or simply don't look good. In fact many of your other kitchen utensils will get the same problem over time and look rather messy and dirty. The same can happen with many other items in your kitchen, including ovens, stovetops and so on.  It is a hard job to clean them and a rather unpleasant one. 

I have found an easy way to do this job for you.  It is a product that comes like a jell or liquid.  All you have to do is brush it on liberally and let it sit for 15-30 min. Then just rinse it off and it looks like brand new again.  No scrubbing or scouring.  No mess or bother. It is a fantastic product I stumbled on by co-incidence. We have used it for several years now and many of our friends have been asking for it and love it just as much. Restaurants love it and chefs rave about it. I would not want to do without it anymore. We use it on all our kitchen equipment now.

You will have to cure the cast iron pans again after cleaning them, but that is easy the second time around. You can see it on this website: www.carbonkleen.com. Let me know how you like it after trying it.

Well, have fun with your culinary creations and keep in touch with me.
