    The stove is on the second lowest temperature when I'm cooking pancakes.
    It takes about 2-3 minutes for the pancake to cook, on each side. Meaning 5-6 minutes for 1 package.
    That's a lot of time on pancakes. So if I turn the gas stove on the lowest, it's gonna take more than 6 minutes for each pancake.
    And I don't wanna waste more time on cooking pancakes than I already do.

    But yeah, some of the oil does get burned away, as it always gets smokey when I make pancakes.

    Either I'm lousy cook, or everything I do is wrong!?
    Smoke point <> boiling point. Sorry, you're eating maybe 95% of the oil and you have to log it.

    If it is smoking, it is possible some of the oil has evaporated.

    Thank you guys.
    I've come to the conclusion that I need a new pan, use coconut oil, and only eat pancakes 1-2 times a week :-)
    But I'm not trying to loose weight, I'm trying to gain 10 kilo (muscle).
    I've calculated to 3000 cal a day, if I wanna gain half a kilo every week.

    My fat percentage is about 10%, so of course I don't wanna gain any more fat.
    But I'm gonna stay off that oil :)
