I apologize for not being able to provide a definite answer for your question. However, I think I may be able to help. When you say the pancakes turn black, does the taste change with them? Assuming you re-heat with the microwave, it is possible that because microwaves heat food from the inside, that in order to obtain the temperature you desire on the outside edges, you are burning the inside of the pancakes. Again, this is just the best guess I can make with the information provided. My suggestions would be to either let the pancakes thaw out in the fridge before heating them or to use a toaster instead. Hope I helped. Zilduli
Can you bake fishcakes instead of frying?
Yes, and it's easier and more healthful to cook them that way. You can shape them and place them on a greased cookie sheet, or a cookie sheet covered with greased foil or parchment. Bake at 350º for 10 minutes, turn carefully and bake another 12-15 min. more. You can also scoop the batter into muffin tins, in which case you can call the finished product timbales. They will be done when a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

The reason you don't place it directly in the oven from the wrapper is because no matter how hard they try, there is going to be a certain amount of bacteria present. This bacteria needs to be removed before cooking, thus the cleaning described previously. With refrigeration and proper handling it can be kept to a minimum. Without, it can go bad in a short amount of time.
