Cooking
• We recommend sunflower oil for greasing the crêpe maker plate.
• Cook the crêpes at a temperature of approximately 200°C/230°C.
• Lightly grease the plate before spreading the first crêpe or each batch of crêpes.
• To make a crêpe, pour a ladleful of batter onto the hot plate. Use the spreader to distribute the
batter.
• During cooking, wipe the plate to remove any cooking residue.
• If the appliance has been hot for an extended period without any service, lightly grease the
plate before you use it again.
Practical Tips
• If the dough slips on the plate or sticks to the spreader: do not grease, there is too much fat on
the plate. Bad batter can cause the same effect. Remove the excess oil.
• If the batter just bubbles: either it is too runny, or it has gone bad, or else the plate is too hot.
• If the plate just sticks: lightly grease with a little edible oil.
• If the batter bubbles and sticks to the plate, either:
it has not been seasoned sufficiently: this needs to be completed.
the seasoning is burnt on: you need to strip the plate back and season it again.
the seasoning is burnt onto, or lifting off the plate: rub the plate with the Krampouz abrasive
stone APA1 and season it again.
• If filling crêpes on the plate used for spreading:
Avoid toppings that can damage the seasoning (e.g. lemon, tomato).
Wipe the plate before spreading the next crêpe.
• Do not polish the plates, because the seasoning will not adhere as well.
