You can gently put your spatchula around the edges of the pan. Goalong the side of the edges of the pan and loosen what your turning than put the spatchula under what your going too turn. If you want too flanten it gently push down in the middle and work uyour way out. Lenore

If I'm frying eggs or pancakes in a frying pan, I use my square electric Dutch Oven because of its shape and depth. But you can still do this with a round pan. I never cook more than 2 eggs or pancakes at one time, as there is that much less risk of everying melding together. Put 1 desired amount of pancake batter or 1 egg at the 12 o'clock position, and the second one at eigher 5:00 or 4:00. When I hear from the sound of sizzling or bubbles (in the case of the pancake batter) that it is time to flip, I use a wooden spoon turned sideways so that it is like a blade as a guide to center the desired food onto the spatula. Then I flip so that the food will land in as close to the original spot that it started out at. I hope that this will be of help to you. As for flattening, these items will assume their own flat shape when flipped.

I have trouble holding a flat object using a spatula, and when that's done, I have trouble separating different flipped objects so that they are not overlapping. Is there a way to ensure this is done properly, or do I just need to learn through repetition? Thanks. _______________________________________________ Cookinginthedark mailing list [email protected] http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark _______________________________________________ Cookinginthedark mailing list [email protected] http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark _______________________________________________ Cookinginthedark mailing list [email protected] http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark
