Crepe pan is a name for kitchen essentials. We understand your needs and value your money, so let’s discuss the nice one. Thin crepes that are rolled or folded and can be enjoyed with sweet and savory fillings, from chocolate hazelnut spread and marmalade to scrambled eggs and chives.
If you’ve enjoyed pancakes from a restaurant or street cart, you may be wondering how you can recreate this dish at home. Pancake makers can be either round electric pans or special pans with low sides that make it easier to spread the batter and remove the thin pancakes from the pan.
These tools aren’t just limited to making pancakes; most can also be used as a pan for cooking all kinds of “flat” dishes, including tortillas, fried eggs, South Indian dosa and uttapam, and bacon.
1. Le Creuset enameled cast iron crepe pan
Le Creuset’s enameled cast-iron crepe pan maintains heat to cook one crepe after another without a break. The exterior is colored enamel and the interior is a satin black that will never need the seasoning that raw cast iron requires. It can be used on any hob and can also be used in the oven at any temperature. Our tester noted that using this pan takes some practice. She found that because the pan tends to get hot in the areas where it touches the burner that she had to make the pancakes a little smaller so that the edges would cook as well. She also added that after several attempts, “I got a temperature once
right and I figured out how to use the pastry attachment, the pancakes started to get better.” When you’re not making pancakes, you can use this on the stove to cook eggs or pancakes, or to warm up a tortilla or flatbread. You can use you can also cook your own size pizza in the oven. It can be washed in the dishwasher or by hand with hot water and soap.

What should you know when buying a crepe pan?
When it comes to buying a crepe pan, there are several aspects that you need to consider, as they will later play a vital role in the outcome of your dish. To ensure the best satisfaction with your purchase, you should pay attention to some of the following factors:
Material-
The material is one of the main aspects that almost decides the durability and the type of hob you can use. Crepe pans available on the market today are usually made of aluminum, enameled cast iron, carbon steel, and even ceramic or blue steel. Each type of material used for kitchen tools has strengths and weaknesses that suit different purchasing needs. Let’s understand more through:
1. Aluminum:
Lightweight, great exterior, and basic instructions allow for a uniform setup.
Cannot be used for an induction hob.
2. Cast iron:
It can be used for different types of hobs; resistant; the non-stick quality improves with each use.
3. Carbon steel:
Ensure a smooth cooking surface; resistant; warm up quickly
Vulnerable to acidic foods.
4. Blue Steel:
Natural non-stick; they must be seasoned; and improve over time
5. Ceramics:
Natural; environmentally friendly
6. QuanTanium:
Abrasion resistance
Design-
Another factor you should pay attention to is the design. A good crepe pan must have a shallow side with a flat cooking surface that not only makes the crepe remain thin, but it will also make it easier for you to flip the pancakes. Careful consideration should also be given to the design of the handle. You should have a heat-resistant handle that gives you comfortable and easy grip control. The longer handle can also help you move the crepe from the pan to the plate effortlessly.
Versatility-
The versatile crepe pan isn’t just for making pancakes. Some crepe pans are designed to cook other foods such as French fries, pancakes, omelets, pizzas, etc.
If you want more than just making crepes, a versatile crepe pan should be your top quality.
Size And Weight.
Almost crepe pans range from 8 to 11 inches in diameter. With a large size of 11 inches, you can prepare more dishes at once. However, it will be more complicated for you to handle a large crepe pan.
On the other hand, a smaller crepe pan is easier to use and takes up less space in your kitchen.
In addition, weight is no less important. You will surely find it much easier to use a light crepe pan.
Non-toxic.
PTFE and PFOA are two dangerous chemicals to watch out for when purchasing crepe pans. Both are toxic chemicals that are commonly found with a Teflon non-stick surface that can leach into your food and harm your health.
Therefore, please check your crepe pan first to make sure it is free of toxic chemicals before you bring it home.
Frequently asked questions-
How do you make pancakes?
The first step in making pancakes is preparing the dough. Crepe batter contains similar ingredients to other baked goods, including flour, eggs, milk, butter, and salt but does not require a raising agent as it does not need to rise. Sweet pancakes may also have sugar and vanilla or almond extract added to the batter. The finished dough should be thin. Once the batter is ready, it helps to chill it for a short time before cooking the pancakes.
A crepe pan or crepe maker should then be preheated with a small amount of butter, oil, or cooking spray.
The ideal amount of dough to add to the pan is about 1/4 to 1/3 cup of crepe batter. The batter should be quickly mixed or spread over the pan. Pancakes cook very quickly. The first side should cook for about 30 seconds, then flip with a spatula and fry the other side for another 10-20 seconds. Repeat the process until all the dough is used up.
Can you make pancakes with pancake mix?
Pancake mix can be used as a shortcut to make the crepe batter. Ready-made pancakes do not need to be as thin and flat as traditional pancakes, because most pancakes
the mixes contain a leavening agent that creates a thicker, fluffier texture. Milk, eggs, and any optional extracts will need to be added to the pancake mix and the cooking process is the same as when using a standard pancake.
How do you clean a crepe maker?
Traditional crepe pans can be hand-washed. If you are using a raw cast iron pan, it will need to be thoroughly dried and oiled after each wash to prevent corrosion. Most electric crepe makers have non-stick cooking surfaces that are easy to clean. Simply unplug the unit and let it cool completely after making your pancakes, then wipe the cooking surface with a damp cloth.
