Product Description
Amazon.com Review
This upside-down pan cooks crepes and blintzes quicker and easier than a traditional skillet. Its convex cooking surface looks like the pan's bottom, but it's actually the top. Dipping the pan into crepe batter coats it uniformly. Inverting the pan over a gas or electric burner quickly cooks a paper-thin crepe, and the pan's nonstick surface releases the crepe easily. (Recipes and instructions are included.) Made of heavy cast aluminum, the pan heats evenly and holds heat exceptionally well so there's no down time between crepes waiting for the pan to reheat. The pan's handle is made of hardwood to stay cool crepe after crepe. The pan carries a 20-year warranty against defects. --Fred Brack
Product Description
Yes, you can make delicious, lacey, delicate crepes and blintzes at home. This cast aluminum crepe pan makes it very much within the scope of the average home cook. Not only is making them easy, this pan's inverted design makes the process super speedy too. In fact, you need only cook the crepe on one side so there's no tricky flipping involved. You'll soon find crepes to be your answer to any meal, especially one that needs to be on the table fast. Sweet or savory, rolled, folded or stacked, crepes are incredibly versatile.

Good for dessert crepes,
By
This review is from: Nordic Ware 8-1/2-Inch French Crepe Pan (Kitchen)
This gives you a great, small, very thin crepe, perfect for some dessert crepes or blintzi. I haven't tried it with rice crepes yet, but I imagine it would work very well for them. I don't understand the trouble other consumers had with this pan--it works fine with a sufficient amount of batter. It doesn't even require the 1-3 throwaway crepes to temper the pan.A few limitations--you need a large amount of batter to fill a flat dipping dish, so small recipes won't work. Also, it can't make large dinner-size crepes, and doesn't work as well with more porous batters that you would want for crepes sale or anything flambe. If you're a pro, go for a real pan. If you want to be able to crank out a bunch of tasty, thin crepes with very little effort, this pan is wonderful.

I made the best blintzes ever the first time I used it.,

This review is from: Nordic Ware 8-1/2-Inch French Crepe Pan (Kitchen)
My 96 year old mother said I made the best blintzes she ever tasted. This upside down crepe pan is fantastic. The crepes were paper thin and tender. The trick to making pefect crepes is to heat the pan on medium heat to the right temperature (water droplets will sizzle on the surface), spray pan with Pam and use just the right size dish for the batter to be picked up by the heated pan - I found a shallow aluminum pie pan worked best. Also, be sure to let the batter rest for one hour before cooking the crepes. [...]

I prefer a flat non-stick pan,

This review is from: Nordic Ware 8-1/2-Inch French Crepe Pan (Kitchen)
We have never been able to get good crepes with this pan. If you dip the pan in the batter like they intend, the crepe basically cooks the moment you put the pan in, and then because it's nonstick, the (cooked) pieces fall off into the batter bowl. If you try to use a spoon of some sort to pour batter on the pan, it runs off. I recommend a non-stick, flat frying pan instead.
