We have used this of course to make crepes (takes some getting used to using the wooden tools- but keep at it. Our first few crepes looked more like Swiss cheese, we've gotten way better at it now!) We also use it to make French toast, pancakes and gas house eggs. Next up we are going to try making tortillas. The recipe book that comes with it has lots of great ideas. We like it a lot because it is easy to use and doesn't take a lot of oil which makes things a lot healthier.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just like Paris, February 3, 2009

We are--I admit it--a bit fussy when it comes to crepes. If you truly love the savory and sweet crepes that you get on the street in Paris, then this is as close as you're going to get in your own home. Our Tibos unit just died (I think the heating element failed) but not before rendering hundreds of delicious meals. I'm writing this review because I'm buying another one! Bon appetit!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Crepe maker, October 17, 2010

My family love crepes for sunday breakfast. After years of swirling pans I decided to go for a proper crepe maker. I originally purchased this item on amazon, but then cancelled after I found it for ~$50 cheaper at another online retailer.

PROS
* Cooks crepes very evenly
* Heats up quickly
* Adjustable temperature control is great
* cleanup is a breeze (Except for the bits that leak over the side and stick to the plastic base)

CONS:
* tools are not very good. OK to get you started but not good enough for proper use
- Ladle is 2 oz, I find that it takes more like 3oz for a proper sized crepe (with my style batter), so I use another ladle
- Spreader rotating plastic tool is so so. It doesn't hold enough batter to make an even crepe (for me)
- Dough rake is not good, it is uneven (bowed) so it spreads the outside perimeter too thin. (I have ordered different ones on Amazon)

My first time doing it I kept the thermo at 5, per the recommendation in the book, but this is way too hot for me. It doesn't give enough time to spread the batter evenly (for a beginner spreader) and the crepe over cooks.
I now use 2 which is perfect. The cook time is much less with this machine that my previous pan method, so make sure you adjust accordingly. The batter should just start drying on the top when it's time to flip, that takes about 20-30 seconds, then only cook for about 10 seconds on the other size, produces the texture my kids love.

**** Update May 2011
After many weekends of use this crepe maker is still going strong. I ditched the provided tools and bought a round dowel like spreader on amazon. I now make (almost) perfect crepes every time. It's also a party piece, I get our guests to try and make the "perfect" crepe. It is a lot of fun , especially now I'm so good at it. It takes a light touch. Anyway crepes are still delicious and crepe sunday is still a highlight in our household. Very happy I purchased this!
