An electric crepe maker heats a flat nonstick surface to a steady temperature so thin batter spreads into a round crepe. There are two styles: a small dip-and-cook pan that you dip into a batter tray, and a large flat griddle where you pour and spread the batter.
The six machines below cover both styles, from 8 inch dip pans to 12 and 13 inch griddles with temperature control. Sizes, wattage and accessories come from each product’s listing page. We have not used these machines ourselves. Speed and coating claims are the makers’ own.
