Crepe maker selection rules
Many people think that choosing a crepe maker is very easy, but in fact, it is not. If earlier they were all almost the same, today the lineup is quite diverse. Sometimes even the store's consultant cannot choose the right model, so the consumer has to buy an imposed product or return empty-handed. So that you do not get into such a situation, first familiarize yourself with the criteria for choosing a crepe maker:
- Number of baking zones. If you like to eat large pancakes - buy a monobliner. If you have a large family and the size of the kitchen allows, buy products with several working areas. On them you can cook two large pancakes or six small ones.
- Power. The higher this indicator, the less time it takes to warm up. The optimum power of the monobliner is 700 W. For a unit with several baking zones - 1000-1200 W. Remember: the higher the power, the more electricity the appliance uses.
- Work surface material. It can be cast iron, aluminum, ceramic and steel. Aluminum heats up faster, but lacks the strength of steel. Cast iron is the most durable. It is mainly used in pancakes intended for production purposes.
- The quality of the non-stick coating. A durable layer will protect the surface from possible damage. Thanks to him, you can cook pancakes without butter and not worry that they will burn. Pay special attention to this aspect.
- Heating indicator. Shows when the product is ready for use. As a rule, all crepe makers have an indicator, but each model can have its own design.
- Weight and dimensions. Plastic products are lighter and more convenient to carry. Stainless steel models are durable, stable, heavier and more expensive than plastic ones. For a small kitchen, it is best to buy a compact monobliner.
- Accessories. Many crepe makers are sold complete with tumbling blades, dough bowls and spreading sticks. All this is needed for making pancakes. For their storage, special niches are provided in the products, which is very practical.
- Manufacturer. Given the popularity of the brand, we can already roughly guess what quality the pancake maker has and how long it will work. But you have to pay for a brand, so a product of a well-known brand will cost much more than the same, but from an unadvertised manufacturer.
To make it easier for you to choose a crepe maker, we have created a top rating of the best models.
