VillaWare V5225 Crepe Maker

Quicker and easier to use than a skillet, this 900-watt electric appliance simplifies the cooking of crepes and blintzes, making it foolproof. The 7-1/2-inch-diameter cooking surface is coated with nonstick material and is slightly convex. Dipping it into crepe batter coats it uniformly. Inverting the appliance and setting it on a counter (or dining table, for festive occasions) allows the crepe to cook, while the rubber feet protect the counter. The user then simply peels off the crepe. An automatic thermostat heats the cooking surface to the proper temperature, and a light signals when it's time to cook. The crepe maker, which features a stay-cool plastic handle, is accompanied by a plastic dishwasher-safe dipping plate to hold the batter. The crepe maker's instruction booklet contains recipes for various crepes and for blintzes. --Fred Brack

Customer Review: Great the first try!
This was my first attempt at crepes. They turned out great. I used the recipe in the booklet. I made the batter in the blender. Each crepe trully took less than a minute to cook. If you don't like the enclosed plastic dish, don't use it. Use a pie pan. Personally, I thought it was handy and could not get hot enough to be a problem. I was a little sloppy--hopefully, I'll get better at the art of dipping and turning with practice.
Customer Review: Love it, love it, love it.
I am not a very good cook but I wanted to serve our friends something special for dinner. I went on line and saw a recipe for chicken crepes and decided to try it. On a trial run I tried to make the crepes in a fry pan and it was a real bust. I sent away for the VillaWare crepe Maker and after a few dips I got the hang of it (You have to count to three while holding in the batter). My dinner was a huge success and my friends were most impressed. I won't be surprised if there is a run on electric crepe makers.
