Euro Cuisine CM20 Electric Crepe Maker - PTFE and PFOA Free Non Stick Plate

good.

First, the quality of the product -- Amazon delivered an order and the surface had defects. Returned for replacement = and that one had defect too. Returned it and after a while ordered another one = this one arrived in good shape, though plenty of dust on all over the crepe maker in the box. After cleaning and preparation of the surface (5min on high heat, per manual) - went on to make crepes according to the supplied recipe. Crepe maker works rather well. It takes practice however - pour batter on low, then raise to high for cooking, then back to low to pour the next one. Included spreader was not as good as a round one we had. Spatula is decent. Ladle is good capacity and very handy. Batter recipe included with the maker is not good - appears to be too thick. Use Julia Child's from vol2 https://www.amazon.com/Mastering-Art-French-Cooking-Vol/dp/0394401522/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=art+of+french+cooking+julia+child&qid=1654379284&sr=8-4 . Spreading evenly takes practice . Overall pretty good package, once you get a unit which is not scratched.

Nothing works like in the pictures...a good motto to live by. It takes a lot of practice and patience to get a crepe to look half-way decent. You will have a lot of ugly flops before you dare serve any to guests. Try more than one recipe and find the right consistency of the batter. The the T-shaped gizmo is useless and just makes a mess of the batter on the surface.You can't lift up the device and swirl the batter as you can in a crepe pan, so lots of luck making a circular crepe. I'm almost sorry I bought this instead of a pan. I may use it for basic pancakes instead of wasting ingredients.

It was great once we figured out how to use it. The instructions are crappy. If you get this make sure to go to YouTube to see how to actually spread out the batter. And make sure your batter is not to thick, it should be pretty thin. Their recipe was way too thick. This is not my first crepe maker but it is my first one like a griddle. Also the utensils are wood. I am sure that is to hold up to the heat but I can't stand the feel of wood, so I have to use a glove when I use it.As I said in the beginning, once you know what your doing it works great. I bought this one to also replace a griddle my husband stole from me. Haven't tried it that way yet.

You can't beat the price for this ceramic coated crêpe maker for $20. The non-stick surface works well. Heating adjustments is responsive. Overall, it delivers. Of course, at this price point, you'd ask what gives? The heating element, as others have noted, creates uneven heated areas. The middle is less heated than the three centimeter outer edge. I end up having to fold and move the crêpe to the edge once cooked to even things out -- this is undesirable but not a complete no-go. If you really want to get it right for lots of crêpe making, perhaps move on to a better heating element option. For this unit, beside this one flaw, it works well and I'd recommend it. Though I haven't yet tried, the good non-stick surface gives me ideas on fancy omeletes or sunny side up eggs with a lightly crispy bottom side.
