These rings have small wooden handles, which fold down for easy storage, that you can hold while you pour in a 1/4-cup of thick pancake batter (use a bit less milk in your recipe). I would use a measuring cup with a pour spout. For eggs, I would carefully break one egg at a time into the measuring cup and then pour it into the ring. Be sure to use a seasoned or nonstick griddle or frying pan, at the proper temperature. Also, use a very large nonstick spatula. You may want to lightly butter or oil the inside of each ring. After you see some bubbles rise on each pancake, you can lift off the mold and flip the pancake to finish its cooking. You can do the same with the egg in the mold, but "sunnyside-up" is quite attractive! Be sure to have enough eggs and pancake batter for "practice" if you are using these rings for the first time, as the dinosaur shape is not the easiest mold to use.

Since these rings come in a set of two, I recommend buying several sets, so that everyone can eat at the same time! These rings may be used to cut fun shapes out of dough for baking, too. Be sure to hand wash them with a mild liquid detergent.
