Crêpe Pans
Preparing perfect crêpes requires a special pan that ensures even cooking and easy handling. Crêpe pans have a low edge and a wide, flat surface, which allows for easy spreading of the batter and convenient flipping. Different materials offer different properties, allowing everyone to choose the right pan according to their preferences. Read about how to choose the best crepe pan.
Advantages of different crepe pan materials
- Steel Pans – carbon steel pans are popular among professionals due to their high thermal conductivity and natural non-stick properties, which they acquire through regular use. However, they require proper care, including seasoning and regular oil treatment.
- Titanium Pans – combine lightness with high durability. They are non-stick, scratch-resistant, and allow cooking with minimal fat. They are easy to clean and have a long lifespan.
- Non-stick pans – an ideal choice for those looking for a light and easy-to-handle pan. The non-stick surface makes preparing and flipping pancakes easy but requires gentle handling (e.g. using wooden or silicone utensils).
Tips for maintaining crepe pans
- Cleaning – after the pan has cooled, wash it with warm water, a mild detergent and a soft sponge. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, which could damage the non-stick surface.
- Surface Protection – When cooking with non-stick pans, use wooden or silicone spreaders or turners to prevent scratching the non-stick coating.
- Storage – if you stack pans on top of each other, place a protective pad between them to prevent damage to the surface.
