About Nathan Shields
Saipancakes were created by a former teacher Nathan Shields, who taught mathematics at the Fort Vancouver High School for about six years in Vancouver, Washington.[6] After those six years of work, Shields decided to be a stay-at-home dad. As a stay at home father, Shields used his illustration art skills to turn breakfast pancakes into an educational activity for his children. When the family went to Saipan for a trip, he made animal shaped pancakes for his children, which he called "Saipancakes".[7]
Tools
According to Shield, he used this equipment to make his pancakes:[6]
- 12-oz wide mouth squeeze bottles.
- extra-wide spatula
- 12.75-inch nonstick pan from Scanpan
- Infrared thermometer (to ensure that he is cooking the pancakes at 460 °F)
