Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Nordic Ware 8-1/2-Inch French Crepe Pan
Customer Review: takes practice
Summary: 5 Stars
I swear by this product. Can't imagine making crepes any other way. But would like to address frustrations others had with this product. It takes a bit of practice to attain the consistency in crepe thickness,texture, flavor and aesthetics.
The key to success lies in minimal application of butter, and just the right amount of heat. I spread very little melted butter (with a brush) onto the pan and wipe off excess with a paper towel. Then I reheat it slightly before dipping it into the batter. Secondly, you've got to find out the ideal flame or heat of your burner: too hot and it will burn, too low and it will stick. It takes a little bit of practice. Thirdly, find a wide enough plate to comfortably dip the pan into.
Don't despair, once you get the hang of it, you will be thrilled with the results!
Description of Nordic Ware 8-1/2-Inch French Crepe Pan
Yes, you can make delicious, lacey, delicate crepes and blintzes at home. This cast aluminum crepe pan makes it very much within the scope of the average home cook. Not only is making them easy, this pan's inverted design makes the process super speedy too. In fact, you need only cook the crepe on one side so there's no tricky flipping involved. You'll soon find crepes to be your answer to any meal, especially one that needs to be on the table fast. Sweet or savory, rolled, folded or stacked, crepes are incredibly versatile.This upside-down pan cooks crepes and blintzes quicker and easier than a traditional skillet. Its convex cooking surface looks like the pan's bottom, but it's actually the top. Dipping the pan into crepe batter coats it uniformly. Inverting the pan over a gas or electric burner quickly cooks a paper-thin crepe, and the pan's nonstick surface releases the crepe easily. (Recipes and instructions are included.) Made of heavy cast aluminum, the pan heats evenly and holds heat exceptionally well so there's no down time between crepes waiting for the pan to reheat. The pan's handle is made of hardwood to stay cool crepe after crepe. The pan carries a 20-year warranty against defects. --Fred Brack
