Proctor Silex Crepe Maker - Black

I wasn't sure that I would be able to just leave this on the kitchen counter. I thought I might have to stow it, and that would mean I would probably use it less. I cleared out all of the little knickknacks that were accumulating in the corner of the counter, and the crepe maker fits well in their place. When not in use, I covered it a 13" woven place-mat ($3.00), and put a paper towel holder on top of it. I've only used it twice, so I can't comment on its durability. Generally, I am hopeless at making crepes, but I made buckwheat crepes with this crepe maker, and that worked out well. I'm still learning how to spread the batter correctly. So far, the crepes I've made seem to be cooking a little more slowly in the middle -- but that is probably because I'm not spreading the batter evenly, and mine have been thinner on the edges. I put the thermostat on a little lower than 4, and used the lights to help me know when to flip the crepes. It's like a hot plate, so I guess you could cook a lot of different things on it. It has a tiny edge to it to keep the crepe batter from going over the side. It's 13" in diameter, so you can make a large or a small crepe on it. I also used the crepe maker to cook some sliced apples for the crepes. I'm not sure if I'm going to cook onions or garlic on it, lest the flavors linger and make it impossible to make sweet crepes -- but I think that onions or garlic would probably be OK. It is easy to clean. The directions say to wash it with soap then wipe it with a wet towel, but I didn't want to risk getting soap or soap-flavor into my food. I've just used a wet paper towel and wiped it down until the paper towel no longer wipes off residue. It is VERY non-stick. You don't need to use a lot of oil or butter to grease the pan. The design seems to be pretty good. If you are careful, the crepe maker can be moved even while it's hot. Just remember to unplug it. You can turn the heat way down, but you have to unplug it to make it turn completely off.

Ideal si estás empezando a hacer crepas, el teflón está perfecto.

Really pleased with this large crêpe maker. I find the tools very helpful that come with it. You can cook really hot on this and it heats up very quickly. I’ve never needed to get up to top heat. This would be great for eggs too. You can cook or reheat a lot of things on this as long as it’s not too greasy or full of liquid because the edge only has a slight lip. Even my husband‘s really pleased with it. I have learned to avoid buying these extra appliances that after the novelty wears off, we don’t use them anymore. But it won’t be that way for this item. Very handy. Works well. and homemade crêpes with tacos are better than any that you buy in the store!😀

La verdad es que muy contentos con esta crepera. La compramos de oferta sin mucha expectativa y funciona de maravilla. Fue la primera vez que hicimos crepas y, con el manual de recetas, la crepera y los accesorios que incluye: la palita y la taza medidora, fue más que suficiente para preparar unas crepitas de excelente sabor. Calienta muy bien, tiene varios niveles de calor y el antiadherente funciona también bien. Ninguna queja. De hecho, la caja muestra que también se puede usar para otros propósitos como freír carnita y tocino, pero preferimos usarla para lo que está pensada.

I’ve been using this Proctor Silex Electric Crepe Maker for the first time, and it works exactly as I hoped. The non-stick surface makes flipping crepes super easy, and the temperature control is simple to use. I was able to make breakfast for my family in under 10 minutes without any sticking or burning. Cleaning is quick since the surface wipes clean easily. I’m very happy with this purchase and would recommend it to anyone who loves homemade crepes! Great quality.
