Despite repeated efforts to eliminate all kitchenware catalogs from my mailbox and product alerts from my email inbox, sometimes a very appealing single-use kitchen item enthralls me to the degree that I mention it weekly to someone - usually Ben - and begin to dream of the improved life that this single-use item will bring me. Never mind that it will cause clutter. Never mind that it probably costs a bit much for a single-use item. Never mind that I already have cupboards full of cooking implements.
That's an ebelskiver pan, the item I've been obsessing about for roughly one and one-half years. According to Williams-Sonoma, the pan has been improved. Thanks, W-S, for spurring on my deep interest in making tiny pancakes filled with jam for lazy Sunday morning. Thanks a lot. Images of Ben and I, knee-deep in the Sunday New York Times and listening to really good music while munching on ebelskivers, fill my head.
I must resist. Right? Or do you think this ebelskiver pan will enhance my life?

have one don't use it last time was 5 years or more ago. DO NOT DO IT!!!!
K, My sistah in ebelskiver love! I, too, have been dying for one of these pans! I have been on an all-cookware-all-dishes moratorium for two years, and yet, I have an unnatural desire for the same pan. And your post echos my thought process *exactly*.
Ed, Ed, I *want* to believe you. (I'm trying to walk to the light!)

Except for, you know, being knee-deep in the Sunday NY Times with your husband :-) Maybe a man accessory comes with the pan?
Couldn't you just use a muffin tin?
ed - I want to believe you, just like braingirl.
braingirl - I think the shipping would get a bit pricey if the man accessory came with it. But if you could find one on overstock...
mamatow - congrats!!! first of all. and, that might be a brilliant idea. I'll see.
I think if you've been wanting it for that long, you deserve it. At the very least, add it to your Halloween/Thanksgiving/Christmas list. :)
Overstock.com! I never even thought to look there. Good man accessories are hard to find.
Maybe we should just get the one pan and trade? Or, after you've quit using it, you could trade it to me. (I have one of those really nice Edge brownie pans I only use twice a year.)
Don't do it! Think of the clutter!
Or get Ed's, at least, and then pass it on when you tire of it.
