Princess 492227 Electric Crepe Maker Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Just ordered two for my classroom. I took them home this week end to trial them, and they work really well! Just plug it in, wait for the hot plate to get hot, add batter and spread with the spreader. It may be awkward at first, but as you keep trying, you'll get the hang of it. Crepes are thin or thick, according to recipe or how you like them. It just keeps them coming. I made some ham/cheese cream ones, and hot nutella ones. Amazing.
At that price, I am very glad I got a couple. I have French classes of 10-25 students, and it will be greatly interactive to make their own. I would recommend it to anyone who wants an easy to use machine, that can be very convivial. It makes big crepes, and you'll want to be careful with little hands if they can reach the preparation area.
Also, just like the pic shows, there is a lip around the edge, so if you're looking for a "real one", read expensive, professional one, that one won't do. Also, I bought a Berard 20275 French Olive-Wood Handcrafted Pancake Spatulato go with it, and I would highly recommend something of the sort to go with it. It makes the flipping way easier. This particular one worked wonder. Insertion of the spatula isn't too hard, even with the lip.
Just one little drawback: the cord is fairly short. Happy eating!

Nordic Ware French Crepes & Wraps Pan and Dipping Dish Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is the best crepe maker I have ever used, I and I have been making crepes for about 25 years! Anyone who creates a mess on the counter using this product needs to work on their technique.
The main secret is to dip the crepe maker uniformly straight into the pan and hold it there for no longer than about a second. Then immediately lift straight up and hold it there for another 1-2 seconds BEFORE turning it over. This will make the batter cook just enough so that it will not run when you turn it back over (no mess).
Another secret is to LIGHTLY oil the pan often. It takes some practice to find the right amount of oil, as too much oil will cause crepes to fall off into the pan and too little will allow the batter to burn.
One last bit of advice: the batter must be exactly the right consistency; not too thick and not too thin. Again, this takes practice. But with all these things in place, you will make beautiful, perfect crepes every time. I hope this helps.
My only (tiny) complaint about this product is that the batter pan should be heavier. When the batter gets very, VERY low, the pan must be held down to the counter so that the final few crepes do not stick to the pan. Other than that, this product is perfect!
***UPDATE***
Just like the other reviewer, my dipping pan also started to peel after about 3 uses. However, I called the manufacturer and they promptly sent a new one. So if that happens, call them and they will take care of you!
***NEW UPDATE 1/14/11***
I am happy to report that after a year my new dipping pan is still perfect - no flaking! I suppose there was a bad batch at one point and that they fixed the issue. Also, don't be afraid to use it with an electric stove. That's what I have and it continues to work great! This is the third crepe maker I have had in 25 years and it is by leaps and bounds my favorite. I continue to give it an enthusiastic thumbs up!

World Cuisine 13-Inch Diameter Tibos Electric Crepe Maker (10103) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)After 6 months of Sunday Crepe breakfasts for the family I now regularly get excellent Crepes (almost) with this Crepe maker without resorting to the professional Krampouz. As usual you have to practice, practice, practice.
Here are a few recommendations:
Ditch the plastic crepe helper. It's similar to the foaming helpers in Espresso machines, it gets total novices over the initial contact hump but quickly stops you from making any decent progress with the product (Crepe). The tool creates a messy experience and creates uneven crepes.
Second ditch the scraper. It's very hard to get good crepes if you prefer the very liquid kind of dough (which I like). Instead get a round Birchwood scraper. They tend to be larger as well ( 8 inches or so). The round surface allows you to evenly spread the dough ( AMAZON sells them )
Third ditch the spatula. It's simply to short. If you make a real crepe, a really thin crepe the provided spatula will just pierce through the crepe when you lift it to turn or take off the crepe maker. I got a 23 inch Birchwood spatula and am very happy with it.
Fourth: There is no magic to crepe if you follow my advice, use this great crepe maker and practice, practice, practice. I use a simple crepe recipe. You need to play with the temperature and times a bit. My crepes are done within 50s on the first side and 30s for the other side. Experiment and watch videos on the internet.

Cucina Pro 1447 Cordless Crepe Maker Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I had always wanted to try making crepes but was intimidated by how difficult everyone made the cooking process sound. My husband bought this for me and my first try was a resounding success. I was a little worried that this would be one of those gimmicky kitchen gadgets that doesn't really work, but it does a great job. I actually have a lot of fun using it, and it goes really fast.

CucinaPro 1448 12 Inch Griddle & Crepe Maker Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I wanted to make dessert crepes and purchased this because of the price. This baby works like a charm! Takes about 5 minutes to heat up and man it gets hot! For best results, put it on level 2 or 3 and pour the batter right in the center. That way you got time to spread the batter around the surface before it firms up. Try to control the thickness of the crepe because you don't want it spongy. You want it as thin as possible.
Other points to note:
1. The only way to clean it is to use a cloth and wipe the surface clean.
2. The included spreader is very good. Maybe a bit too big for it, but it works great.
3. You don't need to buy a wooden spatula or anything like that. A regular plastic spatula works great. The crepes don't stick to the surface even without spray or butter.
4. The edge of the surface is elevated. This is not like traditional, larger crepe makers which are totally flat allowing for the crepe to be handled by a straight spatula. This isn't a downside though because it can keep the batter from dripping down the side.
Overall this is an amazing crepe maker for the money. You won't be disappointed.
