Electric Crepe Maker

Product does make decent crepes, but you have to understand how to make crepes. This product has no recipes included and the instruction manual is a hilarious attempt at probably Chinese to English. So here are the basic instructions. 1. Google "Crepe Mix". I chose Martha Stewart. Real easy to make if you have a blender. If your store has crepe mix, you can try that too. Don't use pancake mix, even though they may say you can. Pancake mix has a rising agent that's not in crepe mix and there's a different water to flour ratio. (just take my word for it). After making batter, pour into white bowl that comes with the pan. 2. Pre-heat your new crepe pan. Not much here. Plug in, turn on, red-light, wait about 5 minutes. 3 Gather tools. Silicone spatula and maybe some silicone tongs. Also a tray lined with wax paper and some paper towels to wipe up drippings. 4. Look over and check the can of non-stick spray, make sure the cap is on and forget it's there as you won't need it. While traditional cast iron crepe pans may need this, this pan is non-stick. If you spray this pan with it, the batter won't stay adhered when dipped. 5. Turn the pan over and dip in the bowl of batter (see video) Turn back over. In 30 seconds or so you should be able to loosen it up with the spatula and turn it using the tongs or your fingers. 6. Cook to desired texture and put crepe on wax paper. I found there is no real recovery time for the thermostat. You can go ahead and repeat 5 and 6 until you run out of batter. After about a minute or so of cooling, the crepes are stackable, meaning they should not stick together. Just be careful, crepes are delicate. When your all creped out, you can fill them. The photo shows my finished product. I filled the crepes with banana slices and canned whipped cream and topped with more whipped cream and fresh blueberries. A pan like this is good for an apartment or when you are faced with an electric stove. If you have a gas stove, go for the cast iron option. Why, because that's how God intended it to be. But in the face of adversity, he give you options, like this. Good price. Good buy. "A woman's place is not in the kitchen. That's my world."
