Excellent Crepe maker
My family love crepes for sunday breakfast. After years of swirling pans I decided to go for a proper crepe maker. I originally purchased this item on amazon, but then cancelled after I found it for ~$50 cheaper at another online retailer.
PROS
* Cooks crepes very evenly
* Heats up quickly
* Adjustable temperature control is great
* cleanup is a breeze (Except for the bits that leak over the side and stick to the plastic base)
CONS:
* tools are not very good. OK to get you started but not good enough for proper use
- Ladle is 2 oz, I find that it takes more like 3oz for a proper sized crepe (with my style batter), so I use another ladle
- Spreader rotating plastic tool is so so. It doesn't hold enough batter to make an even crepe (for me)
- Dough rake is not good, it is uneven (bowed) so it spreads the outside perimeter too thin. (I have ordered different ones on Amazon)
My first time doing it I kept the thermo...
Great Crepe Maker and More!
We have used this of course to make crepes (takes some getting used to using the wooden tools- but keep at it. Our first few crepes looked more like Swiss cheese, we've gotten way better at it now!) We also use it to make French toast, pancakes and gas house eggs. Next up we are going to try making tortillas. The recipe book that comes with it has lots of great ideas. We like it a lot because it is easy to use and doesn't take a lot of oil which makes things a lot healthier.
Just like Paris
We are--I admit it--a bit fussy when it comes to crepes. If you truly love the savory and sweet crepes that you get on the street in Paris, then this is as close as you're going to get in your own home. Our Tibos unit just died (I think the heating element failed) but not before rendering hundreds of delicious meals. I'm writing this review because I'm buying another one! Bon appetit!
