The perfect pancake or crepe ! 

Crêpes are originally very thin, usually round, cooked in a specific pan: the pancake pan. They are much thinner than pancakes and have a smooth surface. The batter must be particularly thin and liquid, made from : 

• flour 

• eggs

• milk

• salt 

For an extra touch, don't hesitate to add a little orange blossom or even vanilla. That way, you'll have one more excuse to eat your crepes, even without toppings! 

If you prefer poffertjes to crepes, you can also find them on the Cookinglife website, where you'll find a wide selection of crepe and poffertjes frying pans.

What is a crepe pan?

A crepe pan is specially designed for preparing delicious, ultra-thin crepes. It is characterized by its flat shape and low rim, making it easy to flip and serve them. A crepe pan can be used to make pancakes. The non-stick coating ensures that the pancakes don't stick and are cooked evenly. A pancake pan is a real kitchen essential thanks to the following 5 benefits:

1. Flat, wide surface and low rim: pancake pans have a flat, wide surface that allows the pancake batter to be evenly distributed and spread out finely. The low rim of the pancake pan makes it easy to flip the pancakes with a spatula and serve them without them sticking or tearing.

2. Non-stick coating: most crepe pans have a non-stick coating that ensures the crepe or pancake batter does not stick to the pan. This not only makes it easier to flip the pancakes, but also to clean the pan after use.

3. Good heat distribution: a pancake pan is designed to distribute the heat evenly. This means that pancakes can be cooked evenly on all sides, for optimum texture and taste.

4. A wide range of different properties: At Cookinglife, you'll find pancake pans that are suitable for different heat sources, dishwasher and/or oven safe. If you look at the product description of the pancake pan, you'll see all the specifications and be able to choose a pancake pan to suit your kitchen.

5. In terms of use: a pancake pan is extremely versatile, as it can be used not only to make perfect pancakes, but also to prepare other delicacies. With its wide, flat surface and non-stick coating, the pan is ideal for pancakes, omelettes, and tortillas. Patties and wraps can also be prepared with ease in this special pan. The versatility of the pancake pan makes it an indispensable utensil in every kitchen.

Expert advice: for the best pancakes, make sure your frying pan is properly heated. Even if “the first one is always a dud”, it's not a general rule! You can even prove it. Because of our impatience to eat these delicacies, we often start making the pancakes or crepes when the pan is still too cold and, as a result, the first pancake is a dud.

Why choose a cast iron crepe pan? 

Cast-iron pancake pans offer excellent heat distribution and retention, allowing pancakes to cook evenly and turn golden brown. Cast iron pancake pans are durable, sturdy, and perfect for making delicious pancakes the traditional way. At Cookinglife, you'll find high-quality cast iron pancake pans from top brands such as Le Creuset and Staub. Le Creuset pancake pans are versatile and compatible with different heat sources such as gas, electric, induction and more. What's more, they're dishwasher and oven safe. Staub pancake pans are not only high quality, they also impress with their attractive design and wooden handle.

Note: Bear in mind that a cast-iron pancake pan is heavier than one made from other materials.
