Pancake Day is approaching and home chefs across the country will be practicing their flipping skills and stocking up on a variety of delicious toppings.
Pancake Day, or Shrove Tuesday, falls on February 13th, the day before Valentine’s Day this year. In the Christian calendar, Shrove Tuesday marks the day before Lent, which is traditionally a time of fasting. Traditionally, Christians make pancakes on Shrove Tuesday and clear out tempting foods like sugar and fat from their cupboards before Lent begins.
Pancake Day is a Christian tradition, but it is also widely celebrated by people outside the faith who enjoy delicious pancakes. Whether you’re a fan of simple crepe styles or chunky American-style stacks, retailers have certainly stepped up in recent years when it comes to products that make pancake making as quick and easy as possible. Right now, kitchenware giant Lakeland is having a sale where he’s offering 20% off Pancake Day essentials like this forged aluminum crepe pan and this traditional glass citrus juicer.
Here are some of the most useful products to make mixing, flipping, and cleanup a little easier.
