This is the good thing about making crepes, you most likely already have the ingredients on hand in your home. However, with the right tools you can make professional quality, delicious crepes right at home that you can load up with your sweet or savory fillings.

Size: For most home chefs, you won’t need a crêpe pan or maker that’s larger than 10 to 12 inches in diameter, though you can find pans as big as 16 inches. If you plan to make grilled cheese, tortillas, even naan bread on your crêpe pan, 12 inches works great. Reduce the heat and cook your crepes slower for the best results and a perfectly cooked and lightly browned crepe rather than crispy or overcooked crepes. IngredientsNon-electric crepe makers are less cumbersome than electric crepe makers and allow for more manual control by the user both when it comes to the heat level and batter spreading. If you add too much batter to a pan, it’s easy to pour off the excess. This pan comes in two sizes—10 inches and 12 inches—as well as two colors, gray and white, both of which have a wooden handle that stays cool while you're cooking. Because of said wooden handle, though, this pan is not dishwasher safe, and it's only oven safe up to 302 degrees Fahrenheit. Customers report that you'll need to attach the handle yourself before you cook with this pan, but SENSARTE includes a screwdriver in the box to make that process a cinch.

My suggestion is to get a set that includes one of these special crepe spatulas since it can make cooking and flipping so much easier. It also doesn’t change the price much, so it seems like a win-win situation. There are two main types of crepe spreaders: wood (typically beech wood) and stainless steel.

Most wooden options will come with a smoothing cloth to help keep the edges smooth and easy to spread your batter.
