Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Review
Quicker and easier to use than a skillet, this 900-watt electric appliance simplifies the cooking of crepes and blintzes, making it foolproof. The 7-1/2-inch-diameter cooking surface is coated with nonstick material and is slightly convex. Dipping it into crepe batter coats it uniformly. Inverting the appliance and setting it on a counter (or dining table, for festive occasions) allows the crepe to cook, while the rubber feet protect the counter. The user then simply peels off the crepe. An automatic thermostat heats the cooking surface to the proper temperature, and a light signals when it's time to cook. The crepe maker, which features a stay-cool plastic handle, is accompanied by a plastic dishwasher-safe dipping plate to hold the batter. The crepe maker's instruction booklet contains recipes for various crepes and for blintzes. --Fred Brack

Man is this easy
I grew up in a Crepe lovin' household. We had sweet crepes for breakfast, savory crepes for lunch and meat filled crepes for dinner.
I always have used a stove top crepe pan and thought it slow and kind of a pain. That is how my dad always did it so I always thought it was the best way.
Not anymore. A friend recommended I try the Villaware electric crepe maker. Non stick coating, quick and easy. Boy were they right. Just dip the the cooker in the pan they include and you are making a crepe every 25 seconds or so. Easy to clean. I love this thing. Good recipes too, altough their basic recipe is not sweet enough.
If you love crepes. This is the piece to get.
Makes great crepes but not a perfect unit
I made my first batch of crepes last night, and I am happy to report that they were very easy to make. Why not 5 stars then? I agree with other reviewers that the chord becomes easily entangled. I had to stop three or four times throughout the batch and untangle the chord. Other than that, each crepe only took about 40 seconds to make and were delicious, using the basic recipe from the manual. Another issue I have with this crepe maker is the dipping pan that is included as part of the set. Besides being made out of plastic, it is oddly shaped: mine actually appears to have been through the dishwasher because it looks a little warped. Also, when I got to the bottom of the batter, I was afraid, like another reviewer, that I was melting the plastic into my crepes. A better chord design and a glass dipping pan would make this unit merit 5 starts. I would still, however, recommend this crepe maker for its price and ease of use.
Why only 4 stars .... well ...
This may be one of the better crepe makers at the price there are a couple of things that really bum me out ...
One .. it takes close to a good 3 to 4 minutes to make a crepe on this machine even though it has a 900 watt element (200 more than and older model...) so unless you are makeing crepes for one ... realx have a drink cause your gonna be sitting at this machine for some time ..
Two .. the teflon covering .. well it's French teflon ... don't expect it to last ... nuff said ...
Three .. the handle doesnt come off and the crepe batter is pretty liquid so get ready to use toothpicks to clean the cracks between the handle of the crepe maker and teflon plate
Four .. appart from that it's probably the best machine out there .. definitely for the money ... and .. since we love crepes and theres more than one person in my house I've bought 2 of these machines ... go figure ....
PS.... you have to try the corn meal crepes they are the most .....
