There are all sorts of vari­a­tions of pan­cakes in many world cuisines. In Amer­i­ca and Japan they bake plump pan­cakes, in France thin crepes, in India they fry dosas, and in Hol­land they throw the fill­ing into the dough and fry it whole. And in Rus­sia pan­cakes are eat­en not only on Maslen­it­sa. This home­spun fast food has long been com­bined with var­i­ous fill­ings, served as an appe­tiz­er or dessert.

It is not sur­pris­ing that man­u­fac­tur­ers of house­hold appli­ances have thought about how they can make mon­ey on this, and at the same time make life eas­i­er for culi­nary spe­cial­ists. Here are the best crepes you can buy in 2022.

1. REDMOND RSM-1409

Crepe mak­er with an inter­est­ing way of work­ing. The fry­ing pan is mount­ed on a stand sim­i­lar to that of elec­tric ket­tles. In the con­tain­er that is includ­ed in the kit, bat­ter is poured. The fry­ing pan is hot — the readi­ness is indi­cat­ed by the red light turn­ing off. You take it off, turn it over and dip it into the dough. It adheres to the hot coat­ing in five sec­onds. Return the pan to the rack and fry. The coat­ing is non-stick, no need to pour oil. Lit­er­al­ly a spoon should be added to the dough itself. Since there is no oil on the sur­face, noth­ing splash­es. Wash­ing is easy too. The man­u­fac­tur­er puts a book with pan­cake recipes in the box. Please note that the diam­e­ter of the pan is small — what if you like big cakes?

When the dough remains small, it does not stick well to the edges.

2. Tefal PY 6044 Crep’Party dual

An inter­est­ing mod­el, the name of which can be trans­lat­ed as “pan­cake par­ty”. A very rich set. To begin with, there are two noz­zles — remov­able alu­minum plates for dif­fer­ent shapes. One includes six mini-pan­cakes or pan­cakes. On the oth­er two stan­dard. Each of the com­part­ments has a “ther­mospot” — an indi­ca­tor that turns red when the tem­per­a­ture is opti­mal for cook­ing. They can still be found in the pans of this com­pa­ny. A cool find is the stor­age com­part­ment for the cord (it detach­es) and acces­sories right under the fry­ing sur­face. Opens like a chest. In the box, the man­u­fac­tur­er puts a com­pact ladle and six spat­u­las for dough. Where are so many, you ask? Giv­en that every­one is the same. We return you to the name of the mod­el — it’s a par­ty! You can adjust the tem­per­a­ture. Although it is unclear how much this can be con­sid­ered a plus. Some­times you just want to plug it into a pow­er out­let and let the crepe mak­er cook itself. The heat is very strong. When you fill six mini-forms, until you get to the last one, the first one can already be turned over. If you do not yawn, then every­thing will be pre­pared very quick­ly.

3. Sinbo SP-5208

Inex­pen­sive device from Turkey. Most of it is made of plas­tic, not of the best qual­i­ty. The fry­ing sur­face resem­bles a processed stone. Have you ever seen how mas­ters of ori­en­tal cui­sine cook cakes on stone ovens? Here is the same prin­ci­ple of oper­a­tion. The stone must be oiled. Any will do, even palm trees. The fur­ther prin­ci­ple of work is already famil­iar to us: the dough is poured into a spe­cial bowl, dip the pan there and every­thing sticks. You can exper­i­ment with recipes and make not only pan­cakes, but also cakes or a kind of pita bread. Suit­able for mak­ing fat­ty Turk­ish gozleme flat­breads. If you have a cook­ie cut­ter or oth­er heat-resis­tant inden­ta­tions, you can break an egg into it and bake. The main incon­ve­nience is con­nect­ed with the pow­er cord. First­ly, it is short, although the man­u­fac­tur­er claims a length of a meter. In fact, it is twice as short. Sec­ond­ly, it pro­trudes from the han­dle, that is, it fol­lows you every­where.

4. Great rivers of Dobryana‑5

The crepe mak­er wants to be Russ­ian, but made in Chi­na. In prin­ci­ple, it imi­tates one of the lead­ers in our rat­ing. Only the col­or is white. And the rest is the same prin­ci­ple of oper­a­tion. There is a bowl where the dough is poured. There is a fry­ing pan on a stand. The cable is short, mind you. But it is attached to the sta­tion, that is, you don’t have to car­ry it with you. The sur­face is hot, remove it, low­er it into a con­tain­er with dough, and it sticks. The con­sis­ten­cy should be watery, like low-fat sour cream. The pan­cake is ready in forty sec­onds. And some do not even turn over to the oth­er side. After all, the dough lay­er is thin, fried well. And if you do it with the fill­ing and wrap the com­po­nents in the pale side, the aes­thet­ic side of the prob­lem is solved by itself. The han­dle is long so you won’t get burned. It is bet­ter to remove the pan­cake with a wood­en spat­u­la — you should try to keep the non-stick coat­ing.

5. UNIT UGP-30

A clas­sic crepe mak­er, like those used in cafes and restau­rants. In fact, this is one large burn­er with a flat coat­ing. The diam­e­ter of the sur­face is very large — almost 30 cm. In gen­er­al, the entire device is slight­ly larg­er than the clas­sic “Dream” tile. The top pan­el is non-remov­able, so you can only wipe it. Pow­er is reg­u­lat­ed in four steps by a switch on the front face. It comes with a stick for spread­ing the dough, a ladle and two spat­u­las. The first acces­so­ry is com­fort­able, and the rest, accord­ing to the review, are made unsuc­cess­ful­ly. How­ev­er, you prob­a­bly have your own at home. It is bet­ter to use sil­i­cone spat­u­las so as not to dam­age the non-stick coat­ing. And they are thin, they are con­ve­nient to pry a pan­cake. And one more note about acces­sories. In the reviews, peo­ple com­plain that some­times cer­tain parts dis­ap­pear from the box­es. It is espe­cial­ly dis­ap­point­ing when they do not report a stick for smear­ing dough. It is very dif­fi­cult to cook with­out it.

6. GFgril GFC-B200 Perfect

Anoth­er pan­cake-twin of the lead­ers of our rank­ing of the best devices. Remem­ber we talked about the Turk­ish “Sim­bo”? Every­thing is the same, only the top coat­ing is dif­fer­ent, a lit­tle less con­vex. And the col­or of the plas­tic is lemon. Cons are the same — the cord stick­ing out of the han­dle. But here it is a lit­tle longer. It seems to us that they are assem­bled some­where at the same fac­to­ry, or some­one adopt­ed the idea from some­one. Pan­cakes cost almost the same. This set includes a whisk and a thin spat­u­la. There are sev­er­al recipes for pan­cakes in the instruc­tions. The prin­ci­ple of oper­a­tion is sub­mersible. Bowl includ­ed. In a cou­ple of min­utes, the sur­face heats up to 200 degrees. It bakes very quick­ly, just have time to shoot. There is a hole at the end of the han­dle to hang on a hook. True, the ques­tion of the cord again aris­es — it is impos­si­ble to unfas­ten it, you will have to wrap it around. The dough for her is bet­ter to knead thick­er. If bald spots form, just add more flour and mix again so that no lumps form.

7. Scarlett SC-PM229D98

The device is two in one: you can cook small or pan­cakes or one pan­cake. In the first case, a spe­cial noz­zle is put on with four molds with a diam­e­ter of nine cen­time­ters. You can remove it and pour every­thing with bat­ter — then you get a reg­u­lar pan­cake. To make it con­ve­nient to dis­trib­ute the mass, the man­u­fac­tur­er puts a stick in the kit for lev­el­ing. There is an impor­tant nuance: what kind of dough you want will not work. It is nec­es­sary to make flour-milk strict­ly in the pro­por­tions indi­cat­ed in the instruc­tions. Oth­er­wise, every­thing will turn out to be lumpy and not baked, but in oth­er places, on the con­trary, it will be burnt. Although the host­esses in the reviews write that over time they are final­iz­ing the stan­dard recipe to their lik­ing. The coat­ing is non-stick, mean­ing no lubri­ca­tion is required. But it’s worth drop­ping oil into the dough. An over­heat­ing sen­sor is built in. The device reg­u­lates the tem­per­a­ture inde­pen­dent­ly: it either heats up or starts to cool down. More­over, each pan­cake takes more than five min­utes. Does­n’t burn much. How­ev­er, if you bake for an hour with­out stop­ping, then there is a high prob­a­bil­i­ty that the device will turn off with­out per­mis­sion — the pro­tec­tion will work.

8. Clatronic CM 3372

A large crepe mak­er for skilled chefs. With­out a stick, noth­ing will work to dis­trib­ute the dough. Thank­ful­ly it’s includ­ed in the kit. It works as sim­ply as pos­si­ble: clicked the pow­er switch, wait­ed a cou­ple of min­utes and went to fry. There is a lever that you can move to adjust the heat. This takes some get­ting used to, because the set­up isn’t flex­i­ble. At min­i­mum pow­er it does not fry, but at max­i­mum it gets too hot. So you have to get used to it. On aver­age, one pan­cake takes one and a half min­utes. Every­thing but the fry­ing sur­face itself is made of heat-resis­tant plas­tic. Jus­ti­fies its name — there are no com­plaints about the qual­i­ty of the mate­r­i­al. It often hap­pens that in such devices, the edges are deformed after a cou­ple of years. Here, we repeat, with­out excess­es. But the sur­face itself is capri­cious. The first two or three years it fries as it should, the non-stick coat­ing works. Oil can only be added to the dough, or lubri­cat­ed with soaked cot­ton wool just a lit­tle. But after a while, the lay­er begins to peel off. How­ev­er, the defect is more aes­thet­ic.

9. Maxwell MW-1970

Despite the large diam­e­ter of 30 cm, the man­u­fac­tur­er man­aged to make the mod­el com­pact. There­fore, we bold­ly include in the top of the best pan­cake mak­ers of 2022. There are no pow­er­ful plas­tic side­walls that eat up space. The base, on the con­trary, slight­ly tapers down­wards. There are three tem­per­a­ture set­tings that are select­ed by a rotat­ing mech­a­nism. But from user expe­ri­ence it fol­lows that it is bet­ter to set the max­i­mum and not both­er. Because the pow­er is not that big. The coat­ing is non-stick, no need to pour oil or just a drop at the very begin­ning. A cou­ple of spat­u­las are placed in the box for turn­ing. If you wish, you can get used to mak­ing pan­cakes if you knead the dough thick­er and pour the dough in neat drops at a dis­tance from each oth­er. Anoth­er nuance is so many large diam­e­ters, you need to learn how to flip a pan­cake on them. But the first time, most like­ly, it will break with you. There­fore, you can make them, on the con­trary, thin­ner and bake only on one side, and wrap the fill­ing on the pale part.

10. Kitfort KT-1612

Gen­tly device with inter­change­able pan­els: one large pan­cake or four small but neat ones. They are made of non-stick mate­r­i­al, so you should not scratch with met­al spat­u­las or forks. There is a light bulb that lights up when turned on and goes out when the device has reached its max­i­mum. Grad­u­al­ly, the sur­face cools down and the heat­ing ele­ment again brings the tem­per­a­ture to the desired con­di­tion. A lit­tle strange, giv­en that there is a tem­per­a­ture con­trol here. What is the use of him then, if the crepe mak­er still drops the tem­per­a­ture? The man­u­fac­tur­er explains this by effi­cien­cy. Advice from expe­ri­enced house­wives: imme­di­ate­ly turn on the max­i­mum. Oth­er­wise, the pan­cake will not fry, but dry: it will turn out dry, and most impor­tant­ly, it will bake for a very long time. The kit puts a stick to dis­trib­ute the dough when prepar­ing one large pan­cake. It neat­ly clings to the bot­tom of the device. The bot­tom gets very hot, so if you are wor­ried about the coun­ter­top, it is bet­ter to put some­thing on it. The pan­els are com­plete­ly remov­able and can be washed.

How to choose a pancake

The rat­ing of the best pan­cakes is in front of you, now it’s time to give the floor to a spe­cial­ist. About the fea­tures of this house­hold appli­ance “KP” told culi­nary col­lege teacher Yulia Yuro­va.

Which type to choose

There are two main forms — sub­mersible, when the pan needs to be turned over and clas­sic — when you pour the dough on the sur­face. For me, it’s bet­ter to take a sub­mersible for home use. It is more com­pact. The con­tain­er for the test, as a rule, imme­di­ate­ly comes with the kit. It is put on from above when the device is not work­ing and it all looks com­pact, you can remove it. Clas­sic units take up more space and weigh about two kilos. In addi­tion, you need to be able to dis­trib­ute the dough over the sur­face.

I rec­om­mend tak­ing devices at least 800‑1000 watts. Do not wor­ry, the counter will not be wound. You’re not fry­ing pan­cakes 24 hours a day. The prob­lem with low pow­er devices is that they bake for a long time. And what’s the point of buy­ing a pan­cake mak­er if, like over a reg­u­lar stove, you have to wait?

About professional devices

Dur­ing the selec­tion process, you may stum­ble upon pro­fes­sion­al devices. The price starts from 15 thou­sand rubles. Some have two sur­faces. Hon­est­ly, I do not rec­om­mend buy­ing these home. First, they are very heavy. Not designed to be car­ried. Sec­ond­ly, why would you over­pay? Yes, they have a bet­ter tech­ni­cal “stuff­ing”. Much more reli­able than house­hold units. They can work all day with­out over­heat­ing. But I doubt that such a func­tion is need­ed. The red price of a good pan­cake mak­er for the home is 2–3 thou­sand rubles.

About the type of coverage

The most com­mon is non-stick. Unfor­tu­nate­ly, every­one has a dif­fer­ent qual­i­ty. For some, it endures grind­ing with a met­al spat­u­la or fork, while for oth­ers it comes off after a cou­ple of fries. There are ceram­ic ones. They take longer to heat up, but are more resis­tant to sharp objects. It is bet­ter to stop the choice on such devices.
