Cast Iron Crepe Pan

Le Creuset Enameled Cast-Iron

Le Creuset's cast iron crepe pan is made for the delicate cooking you need for making crepes.

The rateau that is included is the perfect tool for spreading the crepe batter around in a circular pattern to make a tender meal.

The black enameled interior makes for great heat distribution for even browning. Heat is retained well, preventing cold spots.

It doesn't matter if you prefer savory crepes full of herbs, cheeses and vegetables or if you have a sweet tooth and like rich chocolate crepes or berries and cream instead, this pan will create the perfect one for you every time.

Your friends will think you learned your crepe skills from an expert when you make them a meal with this pan.

Positive Features

Le Creuset's cast iron crepe pan is designed to last. This pan will still be making excellent crepes for your grandchildren. The cast iron heats up well, retaining an even heat for a long period of time. Just add a little oil and your pan's surface is ready for your first crepe.

The rateau that is included to spread the batter is useful and works wonderfully. This tool has been used in Breton for generations to spread crepes and is in use in most French creperies.

Being made in France, the pan itself is authentic to the old pans that have been used for centuries. The crepe pan is easy to use and clean afterwards. While it is heavy, without the cast iron the pan wouldn't be as good as it is.

Considerations

Le Creuset's cast iron crepe pan will tend to stick if you don't apply some oil first as instructed. You also need to use the rateau properly to spread the batter to the right consistency. If you don't properly preheat the pan or allow the batter to warm on the pan before spreading, you may have problems with your crepes.

The pan, like Le Creuset's other cast iron cookware, is heavy. The price is a bit steep for some consumers as well.
