WonderPot

A WonderPot was a very common item in Israeli kitchens in the past...It looks rather like a tube pan (like for an angel cake or a Bundt pan), but it also has a cover and is placed on a burner on the stove. Thus, it's something like a stove-top oven for people who have kitchen burners but not an oven....I haven't seen them on sale for many years, but they appeared in some supermarkets this year for Passover--great if you don't want to have to Pesah-kosher your regular oven....It's also great in the summer when you don't want a hot oven going on a hot day (it's 90 degrees in Jerusalem today!)...

Happy Passover/Pesah!

info

The nuts are added to the egg mixture. The oven can be set at 325/350 and a wonder baker is an old type of pan/oven substitute. You can use a tube pan or any other regular pan.
