tropicalports: ReviewQuicker and easier to use than a skillet, this 900-watt electric appliance simplifies the cooking of crepes and blintzes, making it foolproof. The 7-1/2-inch-diameter cooking surface is coated with nonstick material and is slightly convex. Dipping it into crepe batter coats it uniformly. Inverting the appliance and setting it on a counter (or dining table, for festive occasions) allows the crepe to cook, while the rubber feet protect the counter. The user then simply peels off the crepe. An automatic thermostat heats the cooking surface to the proper temperature, and a light signals when it's time to cook. The crepe maker, which features a stay-cool plastic handle, is accompanied by a plastic dishwasher-safe dipping plate to hold the batter. The crepemaker's instruction booklet contains recipes for various crepes and for blintzes. --Fred Brack
Makes great crepes, but ... This crepe maker really does make great crepes, but I wish someone would actually cook with these gadgets before they sell them. The cord coming out of the end of the handle (the picture doesn't show this) is just ridiculous. If your receptacle is in the wall and you're holding the crepe maker by the handle, the cord just gets tangled, in the way and sometimes dunked in the batter. But the worst thing was that after less than 20 uses, the teflon is starting to wear off. Teflon is definitely NOT a good thing to eat, so I am going to retire this crepe maker. I only wish I could find one that didn't have a non-stick coating.
