Deciding whether to have pancakes or waffles usually results in a battle between kids or adults, so the 'PanWaffle' has been created to help satisfy everyone.

Featuring a durable press design, the unit works by having batter placed into the middle section and sealed shut before being placed onto a cooking surface. What's created is a [fluffy pancake](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/abracadebora-pancakes) with a [waffle center](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mvp-waffle-tacos) that will offer a hybrid meal for those who are looking to enjoy both types of breakfast foods at the same time.

The 'PanWaffle' pan boasts a nonstick design and acknowledges the growing interest in [hybrid foods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pancakes-go) that aren't readily available for purchase. The unit can be used on any kind of stovetop and is dishwasher safe.
