Crepe Making Tools
Crepes are light, thin frames that taste good all by themselves,
or that can be made suitable for serving in them just about any type of
food.
Most cultures have a type of crepe in their food staple, such as
pancakes, crespelle, tortillas and galettes, baked
on some sort of griddle. Originally a poor man's food, purportedly in 1895
it was glorified by the French as the Crepe Suzette.
The traditional crepe pan is a shallow fry pan, or a flat griddle,
and made of steel. It heats rapidly, and bakes the crepe quickly with some
watching.
The "upside down crepe pan" is a wonderful innovation in keeping
the crepe as thin as possible. The underside is actually the top flat
surface, with rounded sides, on which the crepe cooks. After heating this
pan, rounded surface up on your stovetop, you dip the surface in a pie pan
of batter. It only picks up a very small amount of batter. Turn it over with
the surface up to even out the batter and bake. In less than a minute you're
ready to remove it and bake another crepe.
The electric crepe maker is a further innovation. It does
everything that the "upside-down" stovetop crepe maker does, with the added
convenience of thermostatically controlled heat. Your results can also be
more consistent because it lets you know when the surface is hot enough to
cook on, as well as when the crepe is done.
There is a wealth of recipes on the net; try an
Internet Search for your favorite flavors and
ingredients. Most recipes can be refrigerated for 30 minutes or even
overnight before using, and will result in less sticking while baking.
How to care for steel pans. Scrub your new carbon steel pan in
hot, soapy water, to remove packing oils, then rinse well and towel dry.
Season the pan right after the first washing (Seasoning
Instructions). Always hand wash with hot (not soapy water)
and dry thoroughly; do not place in dishwasher. Lightly oil after drying,
using a vegetable or mineral oil. Follow these instructions and the pan will
last for generations.
Happy breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert! |
