8 inch (20 cm) FUNNEL CAKE RING w/PLATFORM Specifically for the ribbon style heat element fryers. It is raised up off the bottom more than the others.The Mold Ring is important to good Funnel Cake operations. The lift - off rings not only giV e you the best results; but they also make doing Funnel Cakes easy. You simply fill the mold (pour back and forth; then change directions and pour back and forth the other way; then back to the first direction - four / fiV e times or so). cook a bit; then lift off the mold ring and let the Funnel Cake float free. A plate for the ring to rest on is included. This eliminates any batter getting down onto the elements. The lift-off rings come in three styles.
