Crepe maker - Is it possible to bring an appliance to the factory to be sanded or to season the plate?

Yes, we can sand (clean the plate) and/or season the plate on your crêpe maker at our factory. For more information, please get in touch with customer service via the online form or by telephone using the details provided on our contact page.

Crepe maker - What's the difference between an enamelled cast iron plate and a machined cast iron plate?

Machined cast iron plate: before using a traditional cast iron plate for the first time, it is necessary to season it. This operation consists of the repeated application of a layer of oil at regular intervals, which forms a protective layer on top of the cast iron, so your crêpes will lift off the plate easily and the batter will bubble less when it comes into contact with the plate.

Enamelled cast iron plate: the enamelled cast iron plate does not require seasoning. It is ready for use. To start using it, simply grease the plate lightly with a little oil.
N.B.: Our patented spreading kit should not be used with this plate.

Crepe maker - How to choose your crêpe maker

You’ll find our buying guide in the section entitled “Manuals and guides”. This guide provides the information you need to make the right choice of appliance for your usage.

If your question is not answered in the guide, then please get in touch with customer service via the online form or by telephone using the details provided on our contact page.

Crepe maker - Do the gas crêpe makers work off town gas or cylinder gas?

The crêpe makers are fitted with an injector for a butane or propane cylinder. The injector for town gas is supplied.

Crepe maker - The plate of my pancake is peeling, what should I do?

Machined cast iron plate: whenever it looks as if the plate is peeling, this is a sign that the seasoning is lifting off and needs to be redone.

Enamelled cast iron: whenever it looks as if the plate is peeling, this is a sign of a build up of deposits with usage over time.

Please read the section entitled “Tips for the crêpe maker” for full details of how to clean your appliance.

Crepe maker - When do I need to season the machined cast iron plate?

You should season the plate before using a new appliance for the first time and to maintain your used appliance.

To learn all about seasoning, please read the website section entitled “Tips for the crêpe maker”.

Crepe maker - What is seasoning?

You only need to season machined cast iron plates. Seasoning is useful in two ways: it creates a protective layer on the cast iron, making it resistant to corrosion. The protective layer that forms naturally during seasoning gives the crêpe maker plate its non-stick properties.

To learn all about seasoning, please read the website section entitled “Tips for the crêpe maker”.

Planchas - How thick is the plate on the planchas?

The stainless steel grilling plate is 3 mm thick. Made of ferritic stainless steel (AISI 430: a very hard alloy of iron and carbon with 18% chromium), it is designed to offer excellent conductibility and is sufficiently rigid and robust to prevent warping during heating.

Planchas - How to clean your plancha

You can find cleaning tips for the plancha in the product sheet for your appliance, under the section “Tips for cleaning”.

To learn all about plancha cleaning, please read the website section entitled “Tips for the plancha”.

How do I choose between a cast iron plate and a stainless steel plate?

Planchas with an enamelled cast iron plate take longer to heat up than stainless steel planchas, but they give out heat for longer.

Planchas with a stainless steel plate are easy to clean and meet the most stringent standards of food hygiene. Stainless steel is a material that does not rust, so it will last for many years.

Planchas - How do I stop food from sticking to the stainless steel?

Pre-heated stainless steel is non-stick. Make sure you allow the correct time to pre-heat your appliance before adding the food.

To learn all about how to use your plancha, please read the website section entitled “Tips for the plancha”.
