All the features you need to know to choose your pancake maker
Which size of pancake is best for you?
The very first question to ask yourself is the following one: What kind of crepe do I prefer? Do you want to make large crepes, mini crepes or both? Whether you prefer mini crepes or larger pancakes, we have the perfect model for you.
Would you like to make both? Our Crepier Gourmet PY900 provides 2 removable and interchangeable plates for 2 different sizes. One plate for two medium size crepes and pancakes and one plate for 6 mini crepes. You can easily change the plate according to your needs at any time!
If you’re more into mini crepes and pancakes, then CREP’PARTY 6 NEO COLORMANIA PY559 is made for you! It includes a 6-plate mini size pancake.
The coating and design
The quality of the coating ensures better cooking convenience and maximum durability. So you know, a nonstick coating is ideal to easily flip and remove your crepes from your appliance. Nonstick surfaces make cooking crepes more fluid. We also recommend you to choose a pancake maker with a thermo-spot indicator. Why is that? Because this indicator helps you and guides you. Indeed, it turns red when the griddle has reached the perfect hot temperature to start cooking.
Our titanium force coating non-stick makes sure that your food will be cooked perfectly. Featuring a harb base layer with titanium particles, this type of non-stick electric pan provides durability and quality performance. Our Crepier Gourmet is made of titanium, check it! We recommend you opt for our titanium crepe maker to avoid sticking if needed. Moreover, the non-stick surface can be comfortably cleaned with water.
Regarding the design, our models are elegant and all-purpose. They will match with your interior easily and adapt to your style.
Making pancakes has never been so pleasant!
Multiple thermostat setting
Our Crepier Gourmet model provides a temperature selector for each kind of crepe you want to cook. It is called a multiple thermostat setting. For each kind of crepe, such as blinis, pancake or fajitas, you can choose the perfect thermostat. This feature ensures you to obtain excellent and yummy results for any kind of recipe. This option is ideal if you love cooking all kinds of meals from around the world and test multiple crepes!
Easy cleaning
You do not want to spend too much time cleaning your appliance? Then, we recommend you opt for an easy-to-clean model. Choose an electric crepe maker with removable and dishwasher-safe plates!
Accessories
Ladles, pasta spreaders (to spread the crepe batter), spatulas…Do these names ring a bell? All of them are accessories you may need to cook your crepes. Each Tefal crepe maker has its own set of accessories to help you succeed in cooking.
Easy storage
Running out of kitchen or counter space? To save space in your cupboards, you should pick a smart and special device that can be stored vertically with integrated accessories storage. This way, you can make it smaller than it is and save some space in your kitchen. This feature is ideal if you live in a small apartment as well!
