Well they are a bunch of F$*#()@& A$$-#(@!Nope, electric.
It may be that I'm too picky with my expectations as well (see my posts regarding soft-cooked eggs ). After watching so many "proper" chefs say that "if a crepe isn't perfectly round, made with exactly 1/4 cup batter, with exactly the same thinness all the way across, with absolutely no rips or jagged edges, it must, in every case, be thrown to the dog, because that's all it's fit for, and you are a horrible, horrible failure as a cook and a human being," I've probably developed something of a complex over it.
Though I am sure your dog thought the "proper" chefs were absolutely correct.
