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.
