Andrew James Crepe Maker, Pancake Maker, 13 Inch Non-Stick Electric Crepe Maker, 1200W Adjustable Temperature Hotplate, Electric Pancake Griddle, Includes 4 Accessories, Up To 250°C

It’s very good and very well

Over the years I have spent a fortune on frying pans to hopefully achieve a great pancake, they all state non stick but that does not last long even when you use the thick plastic spatulas to stop scratching. Well... after having this for months now it is still looking like new and it is used quite often. It cooks the perfect pancake and on a lower setting it make a great omelette, it's basically fool proof, my girls have pancakes more often now not just on pancake day and they love it. It cleans off beautifully the temperature adjustment is great for changing from thick American pancakes to crepes. Just one thing, it would have been nice to perhaps have the utensils in a rubber rather than wood as it was quite splintery and the bristle brush lost a few hairs on the plate when adding oil. Thank you Andrew James, I won't hesitate in buying more of your items.

I bought this Andrew James crepe maker to experiment with making crepes. This is a good entry level model at a very competitive price. If you are a novice or is looking to get a crepe maker to make a small volume of crepes at home, this is a good buy. Pros: -It's 10 inches in size, which is the usual size of Parisian street crepes. -As a 1250 watt machine, it generates a sufficiently hot plate quickly. -It's super easy to use and does a fairly good job -I love the crepe making tools (i.e. spreader, spatula, brush) which comes along with the set Cons: -There is no temperature indicator on the heat settings knob. This is important if you are learning how to make perfect crepes. -The instruction manual did not indicate clearly what the red light indicator above the knob. I figured that it comes on when the plate is still heating up and goes off once the heat level per the settings on the knob has been reached. -The hot plate does not retain heat well (however this is not a design fault - this is a functionality only available with heavier cast iron plates) so you might need to wait a while in between making dozens of crepes at one go. All in all. I'm a satisfied customer and you can't go wrong with this crepe machine for use at home.

Not often do I write reviews for products, but this product has exceeded my expectations, I had expected it to be messy and difficult to use , and for it eventually to end up in a cupboard beside the yogurt maker and the other novelty items, only to come out once or twice a year....How wrong can you be , it now sits out in the Kitchen and has become a favourite of all the family used on average once a week. Easy to use? ..well I had expected a few disasters I can honestly say its never failed , yes I have got better after a few weeks of use , but even at the start everyone was impressed. We use it for savoury gluten free Crepes and its amazing how far 2 eggs and some flour can go , feed the family for pennies. As others have said its easy to clean , I sue it on some kitchen roll which makes cleaning up really easy. Its also a bit of fun to watch your food getting made this way. Only criticism is that the tools particularly the spreader is low quality and could be better. However that saying it still gets 5 stars as a great addition to out family kitchen.

Absolute garbage. Goes from cold to too hot with very little control in between. Even then you need to put it on 20 minutes early to get it something like. then you're tweaking the nob to adjust the temp. And it only gets hot in a certain place where the grid is underneath.

I ordered this in the weeks before Christmas as a Christmas present. Delivery was prompt with excellent service from the carrier but as it was a present, I still had to wait. In the week before Christmas we visited the Continental Market in Manchester and had crepes there - delicious!! After Christmas it was the time to get the Crepe Maker going and even the first fumbling attempts produced crepes that were equally good, if badly shaped. I'm sure I'll get better with practice and end up with good circular crepes. The tools supplied work well, especially the ladle because getting too much batter on the griddle can be a bit messy. However compared to my previous efforts with a frying pan, this is a whole new world of success and really provides an incentive to have crepes on a regular basis. The supplied recipes and instructions work well first time and are easy to follow for the novice crepe maker. I also bought the recipe book to go with it, so now there are loads of crepes to try both sweet and savoury. My son-in-law has suggested we have a crepe party, so that will really test out the crepe maker and the recipe book.

Very nice

I bought this as a gift for my mum and dad and they have found it absolutely marvellous. My dad is a big pancake fan and is in his element with it. I went round for lunch to test the pancakes as a form of quality control and they were delicious - had ham and cheese and lemon/sugar (yes - made a bit of a pig of myself I'm afraid). The equipment is easy to use and comes with nifty little tools. As one reviewer noted the plate does tend to burn the brush when putting oil on, but this is only a tiny issue. You need to be quick to spread the batter as another reviewer points out and I am sure with more practice one can become more accomplished. I am not adverse to an untidy fringe! It is easy to clean as in one's enthusiasm some batter may slip down the side. I would recommend this item and I am going to buy one for myself and then everyday can be pancake day! As they say 'the proof of the pancake is in the eating'??
