Let Shrovetide last all year round! TOP-5 pancake makers

VES SK-A3

The device from the company VES Electric is included in a small cohort of submersible pancake makers. Pancakes get on the working surface of such devices by briefly dipping it into a dough container.

The crepe maker receives power through a separate base(similar to electric kettles). Such a design made it possible to save the device from the wire on the handle and provided it with the opportunity to freely place it on a heating stand. When operating the device, care must be taken — its component parts do not have high strength characteristics, which can lead to accidental breakage.

It usually takes 1.5-2 minutes to bake one pancake. Fans of stuffed products should take into account an important feature of baking — the edges of pancakes can turn out to be somewhat dry, which makes it difficult to wrap them. But what you definitely should not be afraid of is the burning of the dough to the work surface.

Most owners of the device blame the fact that at the beginning of operation the crepe maker emits an unpleasant plastic smell, which, fortunately, does not affect the taste of the baked products. Also, at first you will have to get used to the correct flipping of pancakes, which is far from the first time. Otherwise, the VES SK-A3 pancake maker has proven itself in the best way — it allows you to save time and effort for baking a whole bunch of pancakes for Maslenitsa or just like that, without any reason.

Clatronic CM 3372 Price from 1 626 up to 1 759 ₴ →

The pedigree of the Clatronic pancake maker goes back to Germany. Therefore, you should not worry about the quality of the crepe maker with the model index CM 3372.

The device is enclosed in a case made of heat-resistant plastic, which does not emit foreign odours during operation. The diameter of the baking surface is 29 cm, which is enough for the vast majority of scenarios for using a crepe maker. Omelettes, pancakes and pancakes can be baked without the use of oil — the non-stick coating reliably protects pastries from sticking to the work surface.

The well-known saying “the first pancake is lumpy” has nothing to do with the Clatronic CM 3372 pancake maker. If you get used to using the T-shaped dough distributor, the output will be even and whole pancakes. But for some reason, the spatula was not included in the delivery set and it will have to be purchased separately.

The temperature of the working surface is regulated using a special slider located on the back of the device. A little higher is the power button and light indicators of the crepe maker operation. I am glad that it practically does not require special care — after use, it is enough to wipe the baking surface with a damp sponge.

The device boasts one of the best price-quality ratios. He will decorate any kitchen with his presence and help you bake delicious pancakes without making any special efforts.

Helpful advice. The vast majority of crepe makers have a special non-stick coating on the working surface, so it is not recommended to wash them in the dishwasher or carefully scrape off the remaining dough by hand. This may damage the integrity of the coating.

TRISTAR BP-2634

The “trick” of the pancake maker from the Dutch manufacturer of household appliances TRISTAR is the presence in the delivery set of two interchangeable panels: one-piece (30 cm in diameter) and divided into 4 separate cells. The last nozzle is designed for baking small pancakes or frying a couple of scrambled eggs of the correct rounded shape.

The working surfaces of the crepe maker quickly heat up to a pre-set temperature, which is facilitated by the high power level of the device (1200 W). The heating elements are hidden in a case made of heat-resistant plastic. In case of overheating, an automatic power off is activated, which preserves the performance of the device.

Pancakes, pancakes and other dough products will not stick to the work surface, because. It has a special non-stick coating. In order not to damage it, it is recommended to use a wooden spatula and a dough spreader, since the manufacturer included them in the delivery set.

There are no negative reviews about the model at all. And this is not surprising, given its high reliability and ease of operation. Having replenished the arsenal of kitchen appliances with the TRISTAR BP-2634 crepe maker, you will be able to delight your household with delicious pancakes and their derivatives at least every day.

Steba CR 32 Price from 3 269 up to 3 829 ₴ →

The name of the model clearly hints at the size of the work surface — 32 cm in diameter. It is made of die-cast aluminium with a non-stick coating. One large pancake or several pancakes and cheesecakes are placed on the surface. You can adjust the degree of their readiness using a three-position mechanical temperature switch.

The body of the crepe maker rests on rubberized legs, which ensures its good stability on different surfaces. It is made of plastic and does not heat up during operation. A long power cord, if necessary, hides in a special niche on the belly of the crepe maker.

When the device is turned on for the first time, its surface must be lubricated once with vegetable oil. It is not necessary to do so later. It is better to clean the working surface from dirt with a damp cloth, wash it under water, and even more so, you do not need to use a metal sponge for cleaning.

The manufacturer took care of the ease of use of his offspring and included a wooden spatula and a dough distributor in the package. With them, pancakes will become not only tasty, but also uniform in shape and texture.

Tefal Crep'party Dual PY604432

Products under the Tefal brand always occupy a key position among a wide variety of kitchen appliances. The crepe maker with model index PY 6044 is no exception to this rule.

At first glance, it may seem that the device takes up a lot of space. But if you consider that the rich set of delivery (2 replaceable panels, 6 spatulas, a ladle and a detachable power cord) is stored directly in the body of the crepe maker, the device turns out to be not so overall. Out of the box, only the dough dispenser is missing.

The key feature of the model is interchangeable panels, designed respectively for baking 6 small pancakes (12 cm in diameter) or 2 large products (20 cm in diameter). Both panels are equipped with a built-in heating indicator that changes colour when the required temperature is reached. The heating level can also be controlled via the temperature mode switch.

The working surfaces of the crepe maker are coated with Teflon, which requires careful handling. In addition to baking pancakes, it will cook scrambled eggs without any problems, fry vegetables or bake cheesecakes. If such dishes are often found in your diet, Tefal PY 6044 will help make the process of preparing them much easier.
