Anyone know how to prepare this?


Bought takoyaki at the Asian market and I didn’t realize all the instructions were in Japanese

    Take it out of the package and put it on a plate, not a paper towel. Depending on the power of your microwave (500 watts or 600 watts) and the number of pieces you’re microwaving, follow the times. The single number is seconds, if there’s a number in front of it, it’s for the minutes. So 50 seconds for 1 piece, or 2 minutes and 10 seconds for 3, or 3 minutes and 20 seconds for 5, etc.

    You can apply Google translate or Apple translate to it. But according to what I can see visually, put the taiyaki on a plate on covered on the side of the microwave, and set your microwave down to 500W or 600W. I believe the symbol next to it shows do not cover. What I can see with the chart if you have 1 taiyaki microwave it for the corresponding seconds. For more pieces, next to it it looks like it shows minutes and seconds so correspond that to the wattage you reduced your microwave to.

    take product out of bag

    lay bag flat ensuring instructions face upwards

    ensure the flap thing down the center is not covering instructions

    aim camera Phone and do the Google translate
    or whatever image translate your phone has.

    oh yeah- make sure you have no light glare anywhere on the bag when translating.

    ( best thing to do would get a flat pane of glass to ensure every inch of the text is laid flat- and then you can see any light glare )

    Add others have mentioned, chart shows heating time based on the power of your microwave and how many taiyaki you want to heat up.

    The bottom says you can also just defrost it at room temp (20°C/68°F) for ~1 hr 30 minutes and eat it that way.

    For extra outer crunch, heat in toaster oven for an additional 2 minutes (for 1-3 pieces).

    Some other things noted:
    * Do not heat with packaging.
    * Do not heat while covered with saran wrap.
    * If your microwave plate rotates while heating, leave taiyaki uncentered. Otherwise, leave in the middle.
