Crepe Maker : What is it?
| Crepe makers are used to form smooth, even crepes, which are hard to achieve with regular pans. They usually consist of a heating element and a round, non-stick griddle for over which the batter is spread. Most griddles are made of die-cast aluminum for faster heating and easier cleaning. Crepe makers may be used on stovetops or as standalone units. |

Kinds of Crepe Makers include the following: |
Stovetop crepe makers
- Stovetop crepe makers consist of a convex griddle on top of a concave vessel.
- The griddle is heated on the stove and dipped into the batter to form a crepe, then returned to the stove to cook the other side.
- They are cheaper than electric makers and are commonly used in homes.
Electric crepe makers
- Electric crepe makers look like inverted pans mounted on a base containing the heating element.
- The user spreads the batter over the griddle using a spatula and allows it to set as the griddle heats up.
- They are usually too expensive for home use and are more common in commercial establishments.

Heating time: Choose a crepe maker that heats up quickly and retains heat well. Most models should heat up in less than one minute and stay hot long enough to keep the crepe warm. Look for one with heating controls to help you set your preferred temperature.
Griddle size: Choose a crepe maker with a large griddle for more size options. A ten-inch griddle should do for most home applications, but larger surfaces offer more room for spreading and may be more efficient for heavy use. |
