At TEKZEN, you'll find various solutions for baking crêpes and pancakes. Choose from crêpe and pancake pans for induction, stainless steel pans with a honeycomb structure, or an electric crêpe maker. This way, you'll find a suitable option for every baking method.
What is a crêpe maker?
The term crêpe maker is used for various products that allow you to prepare thin crêpes.
There are electric appliances with their own heating element, as well as special crêpe pans that you use directly on a hob.
A characteristic feature is primarily the relatively flat and spacious cooking surface. This makes it easy to spread the batter across the pan and bake a thin crêpe.
Which version suits you best largely depends on how you like to cook.
Crêpe pan for perfect thin crêpes
A crêpe pan distinguishes itself from a traditional frying pan by its low rim.
That low rim makes it easier to access the crêpe when you want to flip it or slide it out of the pan.
The spacious cooking surface also gives you enough room to spread the batter thinly.
Therefore, a crêpe pan is not only suitable for French crêpes, but depending on the model, you can also use it for pancakes and other flat baked dishes.
Pancake pan with a low rim
A special pancake pan can be pleasant when pancakes are regularly on the menu.
With a traditional frying pan, a high rim can sometimes get in the way when flipping. A pancake pan, on the other hand, has a low rim, making it easier to get a spatula under the pancake.
Within the TEKZEN assortment, you will find various diameters, so you can decide how large you want to bake your pancakes.
Crêpe pan for induction
Do you cook with induction? Then it is important to choose a crêpe pan for induction.
Within this collection, you will find various induction-compatible pans from Cheffinger and Ferveo.
You can choose from different sizes and materials. There are black crêpe pans and stainless steel versions with a honeycomb structure.
Always check the suitable heat sources and usage instructions for each pan before using it.
Stainless steel crêpe pan
Do you prefer stainless steel cookware? Then you can choose a stainless steel crêpe and pancake pan.
Within the assortment, you will find various Cheffinger models in stainless steel.
Stainless steel has a timeless look and easily combines with other stainless steel pans and kitchen appliances.
When comparing, also consider the diameter, the construction of the base, and any finish of the cooking surface in addition to the material.
Crêpe pan with honeycomb structure
Within the collection, you will find Cheffinger crêpe pans with a distinctive honeycomb structure on the inside.
These pans combine a stainless steel look with a striking structured cooking surface.
You can choose from various diameters, including 24 and 28 cm.
For a pan with a special interior, always follow the accompanying use and maintenance instructions. This way, you'll know which utensils and cleaning methods are recommended for the pan.
24 cm Crêpe Pan
A 24 cm crêpe pan is a relatively compact size.
This size can be pleasant when you want to bake smaller crêpes or pancakes or when you don't need much space on your hob.
A smaller pan is also easier to store than a very large version.
Within the assortment, you will find, among others, a Cheffinger stainless steel crêpe and pancake pan of 24 cm with a honeycomb structure.
28 cm Crêpe Pan
A 28 cm crêpe pan offers more cooking surface and is a versatile size for home use.
Within this collection, you have several 28 cm versions. For example, you can choose between black induction pans and stainless steel models.
This size gives you plenty of room for a generous crêpe without the pan immediately becoming exceptionally large.
Therefore, 28 cm can be an interesting medium size if you want to use the pan for various preparations.
Large crêpe pan 32 cm
Do you want to bake generous crêpes and pancakes? Then look for a 32 cm crêpe pan.
The larger cooking surface gives you more room to spread the batter across the bottom.
Within the assortment, you'll find both Cheffinger and Ferveo crêpe and pancake pans of 32 cm.
With a large pan, however, take into account the size of your cooking zone. Especially with induction, it is wise to check if the base size properly matches your hob.
Black crêpe and pancake pan
Besides stainless steel, you can opt for a black crêpe pan.
Within the collection, you'll find black models from both Cheffinger and Ferveo. These are available in various diameters, including 28 and 32 cm.
A black pan has a modern look and easily combines with other dark cookware.
When making your choice, primarily consider the size, material, suitable heat sources, and the properties of the specific cooking surface.
Electric crêpe maker
If you prefer not to use a separate pan, you can opt for an electric crêpe maker.
An electric model has its own heating element. Therefore, you don't need a hob to heat the cooking surface.
Within the assortment, you will find a Homestar electric pancake, Dutch pancake, and crêpe maker.
This compact appliance has a 20 cm cooking surface and a power of 700W and comes with a mixing bowl and whisk.
Pancake maker
Besides French crêpes, you can also prepare pancakes with a suitable appliance.
The Homestar electric pancake maker in the assortment is designed for pancakes, Dutch pancakes, and crêpes.
This makes the appliance interesting if you like to vary your cooking.
For example, serve pancakes for breakfast or brunch and opt for thin crêpes when you crave a sweet or savory treat.
Electric pancake maker
An electric pancake maker can be an alternative to baking on a traditional hob.
You plug the appliance into the socket, let the cooking surface heat up, and then you can start baking according to the user instructions.
Especially if you regularly make crêpes or pancakes, a special appliance can be a nice addition to your kitchen equipment.
A compact model is also easy to store when you're finished.
Baking pita, yufka and gözleme
Within the collection, you will also find a larger electric Ferveo Nora of 2000W. This appliance is offered for preparing, among others, pita, yufka, katmer, and gözleme.
This makes the assortment broader than just traditional crêpes and pancakes.
Do you regularly make larger flat dough dishes? Then such a special electric cooking surface might be more interesting than a compact crêpe pan.
Making sweet crêpes
You can vary endlessly with crêpes.
First bake a thin crêpe and then add your favorite sweet ingredients. Think of fresh fruit, chocolate, honey, powdered sugar or other toppings.
When baking for multiple people, you can set out different ingredients separately on the table.
Everyone can then assemble their own crêpe. Great for breakfast, brunch, dessert or a cozy moment with family and friends.
Making savory crêpes
A crêpe does not have to be sweet. You can also make all sorts of combinations with savory ingredients.
For example, use cheese, vegetables, or other ingredients that suit your recipe.
For savory fillings, pay attention to whether ingredients need to be pre-cooked. A crêpe pan is primarily intended for baking the batter and does not automatically replace other cooking preparations.
Crêpe pan or regular frying pan?
You can bake crêpes in many regular frying pans, but a special crêpe and pancake pan has several practical features.
The main difference is the low rim. This makes it easier to get a spatula under the crêpe and slide it out of the pan more easily.
Additionally, crêpe pans are available with relatively spacious, flat cooking surfaces.
Do you only bake pancakes very occasionally? Then a regular frying pan might suffice. If you bake them regularly, a special pan might work more pleasantly.
Electric crêpe maker or crêpe pan?
Both have their own advantages.
A crêpe pan is used on your existing hob. This means you don't need an extra electrical appliance and can choose from various diameters.
An electric crêpe maker has its own heat source and therefore works independently of your hob.
Which version is better primarily depends on your personal preference, available space, and how often you bake crêpes and pancakes.
What size crêpe pan should I choose?
Consider primarily how large you want to make your crêpes and pancakes.
A 24 cm model is relatively compact. With 28 cm, you get more cooking surface, while a 32 cm pan is suitable if you like to bake larger crêpes.
When choosing, pay attention to:
- diameter;
- material;
- rim height;
- suitable heat sources;
- type of cooking surface;
- handle;
- weight;
- maintenance.
Do you cook with induction? Then also check if the pan is suitable for it.
Cleaning a crêpe pan
After baking, first let the pan cool down sufficiently.
Then clean it according to the maintenance instructions for the specific model. Do not use sharp or highly abrasive tools if they could damage the cooking surface.
Whether a crêpe pan is dishwasher safe varies by model.
Extra caution is needed with electrical appliances. Never simply immerse electrical components in water and always follow the provided cleaning instructions.
