Hi,
Thanks a lot for the detailed description!
I’ve heard a few times about practicing on a cold stove and a cold pan.
What do you practice flipping? I mean, let’s say that I want to practice
your strategy. What usually works well (in terms of weight/balance) to
practice with?
Thanks!

Now you're talking about how I flip pancakes or eggs/omelettes.
Instead of a fork, I use a wooden spoon, turned so that the spoon side
acts like a holder and a guide to keep your pancake/egg centred.
Gently but firmly hold the spoon in your left hand (if you are right
handed) against the left edge of the pancake while you centre your
spatula underneath with your right hand holding the utensil.
Then lift and flip using wrist action.
Using the wooden spoon rather than the fork ensures hold and stability
without damage with the tines.

Hi,
Ah, makes sense.
My problem with flipping pancakes (if I don't go with the clamshell
recommendation which you smartly pointed out) is that they keep sliding
off my spatula -- I'm not sure if that's the right word. I'm talking
about the wide, thin, and usually metal thing you use for flipping
stuff. I would think using something like a fork to keep the pancake in
place would help, but I'm not sure if the pancake would break since one
side is still very soft.
How do you manage to do this? Am I getting it wrong or using the wrong
equipment?
Thanks!

The name of the pan is a griddle. When making pancakes I go for "hot
cake" sized, around 2.5-3 inches in diameter, and I don't overfill
the griddle so I have room to turn them over without landing on
another one of them. This depends on your griddle -- if you have a
larger one, like my two burner Circulon model, you can do this with
the six inch "pancake" size too. Anything bigger than that, which are
sometimes called "flapjacks" or griddle cakes, will probably require
pan flipping, and I don't know many blind folks who want to try to
flip pancakes by launching them into the air. Note that these are
much easier for us to do with a clamshell grill that has removable
plates and one of them is a set of flat plates -- in that case it's
pretty much like cooking a waffle -- pour the batter on the surface,
close it, and time it .

Hi all,
I’m curious to know how you make pancakes. I would really appreciate
it if you go more into the process of flipping it on the wide, flat
pans made for cooking pancakes.
Thanks!
