Electric Crepe Maker

An electric crepe maker is a great way to make a fantastic tasting breakfast crepe that can compare with any to be found in cafes or restaurants around the world. Most electric crepe makers come with a non stick surface and thermostatic control for great crepe cooking. There are two basic types of crepe pan, the skillet and the dip, flip and cook style.

The skillet crepe maker machine is often bigger and more powerful lending itself well to larger crepes cooked in quicker cooking times. With these models the batter is poured onto the griddle plate allowing you ultimate control over the size and thickness of your crepes.

The dip, flip and cook style of electric crepe maker is ideal for household use, smaller and less powerful but sometimes available in cordless variants these models require the user to dip the hot plate into the batter mix. The batter sticks to the hot plate and cooks a thin crepe under temperature controlled conditions.
