Making gigantic super-thick pancakes with a rice cooker

Not sure my cooker is right for the job either, it turns itself off after 5 minutes leaving one hell of a messSeems it burned to the bottom.
Oh, no. That was my attempt at salvaging it once I took it out. The actual bottom half was fine, but the top started to fall apart as I took it out, so I threw it in a pan.
Most of mine is still liquid but we're trying to restart the cooker a few more times. Funny thing is, the stores close in 14 minutes. After that, we're screwed for dinner tonight :/ And I'm famished. Might put it in the oven later.

Thin, with mounds of sugar and a tiny squeeze of lemon on top.
Yes.
None of that thick spongy American shit.
Go to an IHOP and experience the joy of 3 flavors of syrup at the same time.
:lol yeah all pizzerias close at 10pm as well :/ But I realized that mcDonald's is open på 11 so maybe. We'll try the oven first though.

My friend had to run the cooker through a few cycles. Seems necessary if you don't have a timer.
Well I did it.
Used this recipe: http://weelicious.com/2010/03/03/rice-cooker-mac-cheese-recipe/
Turned out perfectly. WAY less work than the traditional way my mother has been doing for years, and tasted exactly the same.
I even have a shitty rice cooker with no timer. No sticking to the sides. Only difference between this and oven baked version is the crispiness is on the bottom.

So I did this and I'm pretty sure I don't have the right kind of rice cooker for it. One side came out fine, but the top half was...
This is why I didn't take photos because mine looked like that, and anyways I didn't have access to my camera!
Yeah we did maybe 4 cycles, when we finally got the damn cooker to restart. It doesn't have a timer but normally it stays on for 30-45 minutes on its own until the rice is done. I have no idea why this made it stop beforehand. Anyway, it looked and smelled pretty great when we took it out and turned it over. After a while in the oven though, it really tasted like shit and was a complete waste of ingredients. Syrup, icecream, cream and lots of strawberries helped but not all the way.

The bottom half looked great, I just didn't bother taking a picture of it since I wanted to eat it. It tasted fine since I put some cinnamon and chocolate chips in it.

I have your rice cooker. In the trunk of my car I think. Or in the garage somewhere. Look up rice cooker recipes. I have like a 200 page pdf somewhere full of non rice based stuff you can make with a rice cooker. I think it's on the Aroma webpage even.

So did mine actually! Your combination sounds good actually, I'll put chocolate chips in mine the next time I do this
I put blueberries in mine, it was pretty good.
Though I think I'm biased since the batter I put in the rice cooker was Moringa since it really puffs up high and is pretty sweeter than normal pancakes. So even if it did somehow get ruined, it still tasted good to me haha.

I wanted to put some fresh fruits on it too, but realized I had none. So I dropped those into the batter and then drizzled Aunt Jemima's Butter Syrup on it. The fresh fruits would have been a lot better.

You Americans with you awful thick, fluffy pancakes. This is what a real pancake should look like:
That looks like diarrhea, and no, I don't mean after you eat whatever that is.

Sorry for the lack of pictures, but I tried this last night. I beat in an extra egg white for a little less of a dense texture, it came out surprisingly light and fluffy. The very inside was a tiny bit undercooked, probably would cook it longer next time.
As for the taste, it really does taste like a big thick pancake. I dropped some chocolate chips in it, was great. Don't think it's a substitute for regular pancakes, but so easy and quick.

How long did u cook it? The recommended 45 minutes?
Yes. Press it again.

So I figured I would give this a go.
Which then turns off after 5 minutes...
But I will salvage this! I'll chuck it into the a pan and then into the oven for a bit.
Er.....
So after 15 minutes in the oven.
Assorted ingredients. I kind of estimated everything.
Everything goes in the pot. I also added some Milo because hey, why not? And a frozen banana. We actually don't have a sieve so the flour went in unsieved. I also couldn't be bothered melting the butter before hand so it goes in the way nature intended it to be, solid. We also don't have a mixer or whisk of any kind as my sister recently moved out and took all the cooking utensils with her so I made do with mixing it by hand.
Into the rice cooker it goes.

Er.....
I mean the bottom that was actually cooked looks quite nice.

It's alright. Not as dense as I expected and the texture is pretty good. The flavour is lacking though. I should have put some more butter in. Overall I would say this is just a massive scone really.
A really massive scone.

There are some straight-up CHAMPIONS in this thread.

When my cousin brings his rice cooker back from his parent's house I will bump this thread with my trials. I am so interested in doing this, I don't know why it's never occurred to me to try baking pancakes in things other than pans before.
That picture of the two super thick pancakes with the chunk of butter on it earlier in the thread looks like my version of heaven, goddamn. I wanna know how to make THAT.

I think that if you have a glass top rice cooker it wont come out right.

I cooked it for closer to an hour. Probably needed just a little longer to get the very middle cooked a little better.
Outside was a nice golden brown though. It did stick a little to the bottom a bit though.

Well he also only cooked it for like 5 minutes.
Yeah, I ended keeping mine in for just over an hour, because it switched over to Warm mode about 10-15 mins into the cook time. I poked it a few times with toothpicks periodically to check the done-ness. Turned out okay. It's kind of late now, so I'll post pictures tomorrow.

Would this be better for you guys?
These are...sooo beautiful. I would never eat the pancakes, I would marvel them and their exquisite details and beauty, then I would gently consume them as if making love
That's exactly what happened to me. So I just let it cook for over an hour.

I'll give it another shot and just leave it sitting on Warm for an hour then.
But not today.... Next week maybe?
Sometime in the future where I have digested all of this "pancake".
did you cut up the fruit evenly and small size? it seem like you just threw the entire banana in there. that might be why the pancake didn't form.
plus "estimating" the ingredient probably didnt help.
This is the only way a pancake should be.
Thin, with mounds of sugar and a tiny squeeze of lemon on top.
Yes.
None of that thick spongy American shit.
That's some pathetic looking bullshit right there.
It's called a panCAKE for a reason. Cake is supposed to be thick and spongy.
Its like some people don't know how to read good.
