Has anyone used this to make khanom krok (Thai coconut rice custards)? Is the size of the well comparable to a real krok pan?

Not yet, but from the looks of it, most of the common pans are a bit wider (to as wide as a fried egg) in diameter and a bit shallow. Though I reckon you can improvise a bit by putting in less batter and they'll turn out to be "mini-sized". Thank you for asking that question - gave me an idea to try that as well in the takoyaki pan.

Yes it made perfectly coconut rice custards. In Vietnam we have same type of rice cake called "banh khot" that use the same type of mold but bigger. I use it to make "banh khot", it turn out very well :-). It even easier to make banh khot because the we don't need to turn it to a ball.

Hi Linda, The takoyaki pan makes balls around an inch and a half in diameter. Don't know if that helps you or not.

Thusfar we've used it for Tako a few times. But the frozen octopus isn't the same as fresh.

Hi! I assume that half-pan and whole-pan sizes are the same across all manufacturers, but don't know. I would suggest you contact someone from a local Dick Blick or other art supply store that carries VanGogh pans and ask. I was able to purchase some empty plastic half pans and whole pans through Jackson Art Supplies via Amazon, which fit perfectly into this watercolor box and I filled them with the watercolors of my choice from my tubes. I am quite pleased. For reference: http://www.dickblick.com/items/00327-1009/ Hope this helps.

It fits the pot better than the insert. It's not a tight fit as such but sits well. I would have thought it would be fine for cooking rice although I haven't done that myself yet. Hope this helps

I made a few different mini cheesecake recipes with this pan and all have turned out great. Try going on pinterest and putting in mini cheesecake recipe. I've made a raspberry white chocolate one and a khalua one too. The khalua one was better when I only used half of the amount of khalua called for.

The surface has a design, but if you want a real waffle texture this is not the tool. You can make a very nice cone for ice cream. The first recipe in the booklet would be good for an ice cream cone.Crepes would probably depend on finding the right recipe. I haven't tried and wanted a recipe that gave me a crispy cookie after cooling.Good ideas for making the krumkake maker a multi-tasker.

I also made cheesecakes in mine. I have a recipe that fills a 9" pan. Using 1/4 of the ingredients gave me enough to make 2 of this size.

I didn't. I have used it to make carrot cake and coconut pie and both were great. I treated it just like any glour

Addendum to my last answer: What you want is a domed lid in the right diameter. Sounds like you want the lid in a hurry, but if you can't find it anywhere else, you can try garage/yard/ estate sales, thrift stores, and/or flea markets. Sometimes you can find things there that you can't find anywhere else. Just remember to measure the diameter (with a ruler) so you get the best fit. BTW, I'm curious about what kind of Indian dish you'd make with this pan?

I greased really well using a pastry brush and shortening. I also found that some recipes come out of the pan better than others. There is a banana cupcake recipe on Allrecipes.com that works amazing--they fall right out of the pan!

Hi :) I bought this specifically to steam 1-2 person servings of veggies and it's fantastic. Yeah, you could totally warm-up or make soup in the bottom pot, and not use the top/steaming basket at all. I'm not sure if it's non-stick surface so maybe be careful with creamy soups that could burn, stick, and turn into a super mess & headache to clean afterwards. Maybe broth based soups? Just keep in mind this puppy is only 1 quart so it's pretty tiny. If you're making soup for 1 person it's probably perfect but you've got limited space. Last thing, be careful the handles get super hot. Use with care and don't burn yourself! I hope this helps a little with your purchase InvisibleCloak -Best, Katherina

sorry, I only used it to cook white rice, mixed rice and brown rice and they all turned out to be perfect. I like it a lot except I wish I had gotten a bigger size than 3-1/2 cup....

I have no idea what a Hellkitten 6.5" funnel is nor have I ever heard of coconut gravy, so I am not qualified to answer the question.

Well there is a steamer basket about three inches deep that fits on top of the nonstick pot part. It has a desalinated steam setting, but I have also had success with just adding the veggies in the basket while I'm cooking rice. It works pretty well for a steamer, but compared to my actual electric steamer it falls a little short, mainly the steamer basket isn't as deep as my electric steamer and it takes about five minutes to warm up and start steaming my Black & Decker Flavor Burst Handy Steamer only takes about thirty seconds. Overall if I would have had the Aroma rice cooker first I would have not purchased the Handy Steamer. Well there is a steamer basket about three inches deep that fits on top of the nonstick pot part.

There's another Kuhn Rikon shape that's great, we have two, it has little loops that make a sort of corner. I make custard pudding in microwave, yolks in at beginning, heat slow, stop frequently and whip w whisk, round is fine, it thickens beautifully, no burning, one bowl. Good luck, you will use both shapes cooking!

I use it to to cook Korean rice and it comes out great in my opinion. There are many settings like regular glutinous rice, sushi rice, porridge and others but I only mainly use it for cooking regular Korean rice. It is quite expensive so I would only recommend it if you are a person who can appreciate a small difference in how properly prepared rice is experienced.On the technical side, it is best used on an island or peninsula with nocabinets above. If you do have to use it under standard kitchen cabinets, the cover willBump into your cabinet when fully open. It will also steam (and possibly ruin over a long term) your cabinet above. Make sure you have room for it not under a cabinet. I use it to to cook Korean rice and it comes out great in my opinion.

Hello.I honestly have never tried. I do steam rice in it and it turns out wonderful. Sorry I could not be more helpful.
