Berndes 9-1/2-Inch Crepe Pan



Makes Great Crepes
I make crepes regularly for guests and purchased this crepe pan several months ago. Previously, I was using an inexpensive (non-crepe) pan with fair results. I wanted a pan that would heat more evenly and quickly than my existing pan.

The Berndes pan produces a perfect, lacy crepe that is consistent in size and texture. The shape of the pan makes it easy to handle the crepe at all stages. I have not had any issues with the non-stick surface. Though I use the pan regularly, I do admit there is very little contact with anything that may damage the surface. A silicone spatula loosens the crepe much better than a wood or plastic utensil.

All in all, I am very satisfied with the Berndes crepe pan. If I ever buy another crepe pan, it will probably be this one.

didn't hold up in the long run
I have had this pan for four years, and it is completely pitted and the nonstick coating is peeling off. It has never seen a metal utensil -- we only have plastic and wood utensils, so I guess the nonstick coating was either put on badly or not enough was applied at the factory. I'm kind of grossed out to think how much Teflon we ingested before I noticed the pitting. I would not buy this pan again.

Fabulous Crepes!
I own 3 of these pans. Before I found the Berndes pan, I tried every crepe pan I could find including a $200 copper pan and Calphalon. The Berndes crepe pan out crepes them all! I haven't noticed any wear or tear on any of the pans an they are used quite often. I make crepes at least once a week and have started using the pans for omelets as well. No complaints what-so-ever, only fantastic rave reviews for a quality product that produces lovely crepes. I would highly recommend the Berndes crepe pans.
