Crepe Makers

Yes, absolutely. Due to their specific design, you can cook each crepe in as little as a minute. You’ll get precise temperature control and even heat distribution and can get through a high volume of orders quickly to serve your customers. 

While you can cook crepes in a non-stick frying pan, the design of commercial crepe makers makes the cooking process quicker and gives you better results. The hot plate design they feature delivers an evenly heated cooking surface, ensuring that the crepe doesn’t have any hot or cool spots or cooks irregularly. Equally, the precise temperature control they offer makes it simple to get the results you want. This means you can also use your crepe maker for things like pancakes, tortillas and even omelettes.

Cleaning is always a factor when you’re trying to optimise your kitchen’s efficiency, and crepe makers are exceptionally simple to clean when you’re done cooking. With non-stick finishes, they’re fast to tidy up and don’t require access to a dishwasher. 

To get the best results and achieve delightfully crispy and fluffy results for your customers, there are a few key features to look for. The first is whether the plate is non-stick or stainless steel. Generally speaking, most crepe makers will have a non-stick hot plate to cook on, which not only makes it easier to get the best results but also streamlines the cleaning process afterwards. Stainless steel framing around the hot plate is also a valuable addition, making for sturdier construction and simple maintenance. 

Regardless of whether you’re only going to be making crepes or you’re considering using your crepe maker for other menu items like pancakes or omelettes, you’ll also want to get a model with temperature control. This enables you to refine and adjust how you cook, which requires delicacy when it comes to how thickly you like to make your crepes. 

Portability may be an important factor for you if you have a temporary market stall or only use your crepe maker at certain times or seasons. Generally, they’re fairly lightweight and, on average, are around 20 kilograms. 

Crepe makers will come with temperature controls, typically ranging between 50℃ to 300℃, that make it simple to get your settings just right for even, consistent and delicious results. If you refer to the manufacturer guidelines, they’ll typically include instructions on how to best use your new commercial crepe maker. 

The non-stick surface that most models feature is also an important feature, making it easy to spread your crepe batter, then flip it and fold it when it’s done cooking. 

One of the many benefits of commercial crepe makers is that, along with being easy to use, they’re also incredibly easy to clean and maintain. As with any non-stick surface, all you’ll need to do when you’re closing up for the day is wipe the surface down with a damp cloth to remove any residue. Depending on the model you opt for, some pieces of your crepe maker may be able to be removed and put in the dishwasher for easier cleaning. Equally, sanitising the area surrounding the hot plate is as simple as wiping it down with some cleaner on a cloth to remove any baked-on pieces of batter. 

To ensure that our customers get the best quality appliances, we stock the top brands in the commercial industry. They feature quality design with good materials and offer warranties on their products. Two in particular we’d recommend looking at for a crepe maker include Apuro and Benchstar. 

You’ll need a few additional tools when you’re preparing crepes with a commercial crepe maker if you want even shaping and perfectly cooked results. Some commercial crepe makers will come with a crepe spreader, which is the tool that ensures you get the round shape and even batter distribution over the hot plate. You’ll also need a good spatula that’s safe to use on non-stick surfaces to avoid damaging the cooking surface so you can flip and fold your crepes.
