DH wants a crepe maker, electric. Doesn't want to cook them in a pan on the stove. Does not want the $900 commercial one. More like $100-$150. Any suggestions? (He likes gadgets what can I say? I got him a nice crepe pan years ago, it sits in the cupboard.)
 
It depends on how many you need to make, but my favorite way to make them is with the electric mound type. Two of those and a shallow pan filled with rested crepe batter and you can make a bunch to fill and keep warm. They aren't that expensive and are super easy to use and clean. My first one I bought on a whim at a goodwill for five bucks. I liked them so much, I went through a faze where I would order a 35 dollar model as a wedding present for folks. You can dip one, let it cook 45 seconds and drop it on a plate. Dip, pause, let it fall off. Perfect and easy.

I'm trying to figure out how to post a link to a youtube video. hrm.. Oster Electric Creperie Crepe Maker, was my first. If you put that in a search, you will probably see some on ebay.
VillaWear classic crepe maker, is another brand. Not as cool as a pan, or a flat skillet, but easy and consistent.

I'm sorry you started this thread. I like gadgets too and fell in love with the crepe makers. And I don't have room for it. Have you asked DH where he plans to put his?

First question!!! He's going to keep it in OUR kitchen. Which has no room, either!
 
We have industrial shelving in the storage area of the basement designated for "kitchen overflow" as I have more baking and bundt pans than any sane person who is not a professional baker could possibly need.
I have my eye on a Cuisinart or Breville high end ice cream machine next.

I got him the ice cream maker last year!
Have to get that out again for this summer.
 
sorry i dont think anything beats a good crepe pan. Way back when, I would make loads of them and keep in freezer. That way I had them whenever I needed them.

Which one? I've had the $60 Cuisinart one for years where you freeze the bowl....looking at a model with a built in compressor-freezer, which start at about $300.

This is the model I use...works like a charm. Sometimes I use the dip method and make the crepe on the "dome" part of the pan. If the batter does not stick well, which sometimes happens, I just ladle a small amount of batter into the "omelet" side of the pan and roll it around to make a decent crepe.

I was planning on making a bunch of crepes tomorrow morning as we have a series of guests coming in this week and I am too lazy to make new breakfasts every morning. I just store the extra crepes between wax paper in the refrigerator, fill them when ready to use and pop them in the microwave to warm. Voila!

I remember my highschool French teacher bringing one of these in to make crepes for the class! Picture a bloated ping pong paddle on a curling iron handle. You plug in the device to preheat, then dip the non-stick convex surface of the "paddle" face down in a shallow pan of batter. The raw batter coats the surface, then drops off once cooked.
Fast and foolproof, but more like a blintz maker, I suppose, since only one side browns against the heat.

Yes. That's the one. You freeze the bowl.

What do you all fill your crepes with? I'm looking for savory suggestions!.

When they are savoury they are supposed to be made with buckwheat flour and are called galette, but we aren't purists in Britany, are we? In any case....
Ricotta, lemon zest and a little honey
Ham, cheese and fried egg
Asparagus, tomato and cheese
Bacon and eggs
Cream cheese, salmon and a dill sauce (capers too)
Goat cheese, nuts and a little honey
Need more ideas?
Oh and a galette is usually folded with the four sides in to make a square where you can still see the filling on the inside :)
