LITHON D-STYLIST TAIYAKI Maker KDHS-010W

I love putting thick apple sauce as the stuffing in the fall.My kid loves the whimsical shape, and likes to touch the eye.For best color contrast with the pattern, grease generously. For best tensile strength, add extra grease to the batter and minimal grease to the pan.We make some of our regular waffle batter in here. Works great too.It is a different shape than the standard one I remember back in Japan, but I still love it. It has the "amaze your friends" quality.I think I would equally love being the only one on my block to have one and living on a block where everyone had one, and fed me warm taiyaki pastry when I came to visit.

料理好きの母へのプレゼントで購入。自作の餡を入れて作るのが楽しいと喜んでもらいました。使い方も簡単、後片付けもラク、サイズも良くて大満足でした。

As someone without a gas range, I can't buy one of those metal range top fish molds and this was the kind of device I needed. I've used it at least once a month for quite a few years now and it still works great! It might run a little hotter than intended due to the differences with the US and Japanese power systems but nothing has broken yet

ミニサイズのたい焼きを作ることができます結構火の通りもいいのであっという間にできるのですがオンオフのスイッチがないので面倒なのと、小さいサイズしか作れないので手間が多い

FOR ANYONE RESIDING OUTSIDE OF JAPAN: To use this product safely you will need to purchase a (relatively expensive) Step-Down Voltage Transformer. Japanese outlets output 100V, which means all appliances made for Japanese consumers need to receive power with 100V. This taiyaki machine is no different (as you can see in the photo attached). For the vast majority of countries, the standard voltage output is different. In the US, it is 120V. While this difference in voltage may not be a big deal for a lot of electronics, anything with a heating element you have to be careful with. These transformers are very expensive on Amazon, ranging from $40-$200 when I checked for them, meaning the cheapest ones are almost the same price as the taiyaki machine. I imagine the pricing is not any better elsewhere. I would suggest buying a cheaper machine on Amazon that works with your local outlet voltage standard.TLDR: Don't be like me and purchase this thinking that it will be completely safe to use outside of Japan without expensive extra equipment.
