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!

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.

CucinaPro 530 Cavatelli Maker Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This little machine works very well, but it will help if you have homemade cavatelli in your background. -Or an Italian friend. There are few instructions; the brief booklet did not indicate that the handle was inverted for easier packaging/shipping. I knew the handle would need to turn in a circle, but did not make the mental connection that I would have to unscrew the handle and flip it around. Once I got over that obstacle I was quickly turning out the yummiest spinach pasta ever. You may need advice with the recipes, but you will do just fine if you remember that no dough recipe is an exact science. More flour one day, less the next according to ambient temperature and humidity.

CucinaPro 150 Imperia Pasta Machine Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My video shows the machine being put together and attached to worktop. It then shows the most difficult operation for the machine: making spaghetti.
Bought through Amazon UK it looks like the same kit for the USA. I got to this level after one week and several portions of pasta having never used a pasta machine before.
I made the pasta as 200g of '00' flour plus two large eggs. I then put pasta in plastic bag/sealed and left it for at least two hours. I then cut pasta in half with the other half being replaced in plastic bag/sealed for use the following day.
The humour may be lost in the Atlantic somewhere but I hope that what you see is useful. The spaghetti tasted creamy delicious.
