Our review
This is a dip-style crepe maker: you flip the handled, non-stick plate face-down into a shallow dish of batter for a second, lift it back up, and a thin, even layer cooks on the outside of the plate in about ten seconds. It removes the skill that trips people up on a stovetop — getting the batter thin and even before it sets — and the 8-inch die-cast plate heats in around 30 seconds with automatic temperature control and an auto shut-off. It wipes clean with a damp cloth and the batter tray is dishwasher safe.
At 4.2 stars from nearly 700 ratings it works well, but the reviews are clear on the technique you need. Your batter has to be genuinely thin — too thick and it won't cling to the plate, which is behind the common 'first few crepes worked then the batter stopped sticking' complaint. A few people see a faint brown ring over a heating element, fixed by letting it fully preheat, switching it off, then dipping. And it's a single 8-inch crepe at a time, so a big stack takes a few minutes (a 12-inch version exists). Dial in a thin batter, though, and it turns out cafe-thin crepes reliably.

FAQ
How does the dip mechanism work?
You hold the maker upside down, dip the hot non-stick plate into a shallow dish of batter for a second, then flip it back over — the thin layer cooks on the outside of the plate in about ten seconds.
Why does the batter stop sticking?
Almost always because the batter is too thick — it needs to be genuinely thin to cling to the hot plate. Thin it down and dip again.
Does it make thick fluffy pancakes too?
It's built for thin crepes; for thick pancakes a flat griddle is the better tool.
How many crepes can I make per session?
One 8-inch crepe roughly every 10-15 seconds once hot, so a stack of 8-10 takes a couple of minutes; a 12-inch version is also sold.
