If you love eating crepes but hate the expense of going out to buy them, no need to worry – you can make your own delicious crepes from the comfort of your own home with a crepes maker.

For those who don’t know what a crepe is, it’s basically a very think version of a pancake. However the texture and taste is different and – arguably – a whole lot more delicious. You can wrap anything in a crepe – be it fruit or meat – to make a meal, be it breakfast, lunch or dinner.

Crepe makers work by pouring wheat flour into a pan and adding a bit of butter or oil. What makes the crepe different than a pancake is that the batter is more evenly spread over the pan with a special type of spatula. The batter is spread very thin. Once cooked on one side, the crepe is flipped over.

You can use a crepe maker to roll different ingredients into the  crepe. What the ingredients are entirely depends on you. You can use asparagus, spinach, ham, eggs, mushrooms, tomatoes – whatever you feel like. Crepes also make fantastic desserts – you can pack in various confections, jams, chocolate, etc.

Once you cook the individual crepe and roll the ingredients into it, you place the crepe back into the pan to cook again. There are different types of crepes, but the most famous is definitely the Crepe Suzette. This is a dessert crepe and is created by topping a crepe covered with sugar by Grand Marnier and lighting it on fire. The alcohol evaporates leaving behind a caramelized version of the crepe behind. This is normally a restaurant delicacy, but no longer. If you have a commercial crepe maker, you can easy create one yourself, in your own home.

A crepes maker can range from anywhere from 40$ to $1000, depending on how good the crepe machine is. This might seem expensive to you, but crepes are a delicious delicacy and people all around the world are passionate about them.

Crepes makers can be found online and there are many different models available – each with different price tags. Do some research on a crepe maker that will best suit your needs. You might be able to find a commercial crepe maker in a brick and mortar specialty store, but for the best options (and the cheapest crepe maker price) you will want to look online. Remember that you get what you pay for, spend at least 100 dollars to get a good crepe machine.
