I grew up with this exact crepe maker and it was amazing. We were a family of ten and this machine was perfect for us. We got to the point where we could pop out 50 crepes in an hour. We mixed the batter in a blender and would then pour it out into a high rimmed plate. We'd also flip the crepe half-way through cooking. For some reason the first crepe is always a bust and we usually gave it to the dog. Lots of good memories watching this.

[@potato._.5833]

The heat isn’t evened out maybe? Like how the first pancake is also always off

[@TextbookCommittee]

We had one too! I loved it.

No one makes a better crepe than my mother. That random morning she'd be in the mood and we'd wake up and she would say "how many" .. so thankful I have her recipe card to pass along those moments to my kiddos.

My mom had a big pot that she'd use to make the batter. And after we were stuffed, she always had a ton more batter to use up. My dad, my brother and I enjoyed crepe nights. My mom ... not so much. :)

[@claireloub]

In my experience, usually the first (thin, British) pancake is a sacrificial one to the pancake gods and ends up on the floor/ceiling/in a crumpled heap when you try to flip it. I'm so very impressed that your first one came out perfect!

In my case the 1st one ends up being for the dogs😂

[@melindaspencer-sackett2092]

My first one is my snack while making more.

[@NathanTax]

The trick to avoid a failed first pancake is to heat the pan up more. When you put in the butter it should immediately melt and brown, at which point you also pour in the batter.

[@RipVanAllan1983]

Just wanted to let you know the steps to make crepes that I learned in culinary school. Add your flour to a bowl, add your eggs and mix to a paste, then add your melted clarified butter and mix, then add your milk slowly while mixing to get as many lumps out as you can get, then add the milk till you get a consistency of heavy cream, strain into another bowl to get lumps out, refrigerator for an hour, then take out and add milk if you need to, it should be at heavy cream consistency. Then make your crepes. Hope this helps.

[@kitchenmom]

I make mine like this, and they always come out perfect. The real trick is adding the eggs to the flour first. No lumps.

When my mom was a child jelly/jam used to come in little jars meant to be used as juice glasses once the jelly was eaten. They were decorated with cartoon characters and such.

[@katestewart-taylor9736]

This Pan featured a crepe maker near the foyer of the restaurant. There was a circular set up with the crepe maker stood in the middle, dipping the bottom of a pan (much like the one Emmy just featured) then it would rotate over an open gas flame. Looked like a wagon wheel. The crepe maker being the hub, and the pans being the wheel. The crepe maker would flip a crepe off, then dip the bottom of the pan , put it back on the flame, then repeat. Do it during the peak busy times. There was some one making them in the back too, if needed. I’ve never heard of Olga’s. Maybe they used a similar set up

I'm surprised you don't flip the crêpes! The surface of the crêpe touching the pan looks perfect but the other side looks quite pale and "rubbery". In France, we like to make the crêpe jump out of the pan to make it land on the other side or when we're not too sure of our skill we just use a spatula but either way, we prefer to let it cook on both sides.

This is definitely just a novelty gadget and not the norm in the US.

Those small Nutella jars are brilliant for dessert making! I use them for pannacotta because they’re great size for it and the glass is sturdy enough to handle the hot cream when you pour it in before letting it set in the fridge

[@TamarLitvot]

I love the idea that it produces a usable glass rather than a jar that ends up needing recycling (or even worse, thrown away). I have more jars than I need for storage so end up putting my empty ones in the recycling bin. But if I had those Nutella glasses, I'd keep some and give the rest to the thrift store.

There is a modern version of it, same thing only improved. It is made by Saltan, Salten?

[@eirikastokes9652]

The reason your butter solidified was because either the eggs or milk were too cold! When you're making a batter that you'll be adding melted butter to, you should always bring anything that might have been in the fridge to room temp first, or the melted butter will solidify ❤️ it's an annoying extra step but microwaving your milk for 15 seconds or letting your eggs sit in warm water for a few minutes will save you lumps in the end!

[@jethro4453]

I think it's also just kind of cold in her studio. The melted butter was already a little resolidified when she added it.

[@msseeah]

Yeah, the butter already solidified a bit like what she said and was shown in the video

Before now I didn't even know "crepe maker" was a thing. But Google tells me that there are tons of them out there nowadays. Some of them work pretty much exactly like this one, except the "pan" and heating unit are combined together. The downside is that you can't flip the "pan" over and use it as a skillet. But if you're in the market for a crepe maker, I suspect you already have a decent skillet on hand, so no great loss. Anyway, if you want something like this, you don't have to wait for a vintage one to show up in your local thrift store. There are tons of brand-new ones out there; Google is your friend.

[@rickfromhell]

Making crepes is a lot easier than people probably think. I have a lot of success just cooking directly in a wok. The batter cooks quick, very reliably at 2 minutes on each side over medium high heat. I'd recommend using a wok, but in a pan it's basically the same. The only kind of tricky part is swiveling the batter to get it flat, but you just hold the pan by the handle over the flame, and pivot your wrist so the batter rotates, and sticks to the sides of the wok. You do that until the batter is flat, and firmed. 2 minutes on each side, medium high heat, and it's done.

That contraption was popularized by a chain of crepe restaurants back in the late 70's: The Magic Pan. It featured a huge rotating stovetop with I think a dozen pans being dipped and cooked. The chain was originally sold by Quaker Oats, there were 110 in total around the country but in the early 80's it pretty much died off. In 2005, the Magic Pan name was re-introduced by Lettuce Entertain You Enterprises, in Northbrook IL but it didn't have the original stovetop contraption. It did, however, feature many of the original recipes. As amazing as a cook my mother was, she never had the patience for crepes. So that job fell to me. Man...I tell ya, I do miss Savers though. My days when I lived in Warren RI, savers was a regular stop for my neighbor and me.

Crepes are actually super easy to make by just using your normal frying pan or skillet. They're just as easy as regular pancakes in my opinion. It's just a matter of the proper batter consistency and knowing how to pour it correctly. I can whip up a whole bunch in a few minutes.

[@suzettesanborn5659]

@@shannonbensing9484 I go by how it looks, can't really explain it. That's how my mom and grandma taught me. Crepes were a staple in our house. I was even named after crepes.

[@lollertoaster]

@@shannonbensing9484 My parents taught me this technique - pour the batter in the center of a heated pan covered in butter (or flavourless cooking oil) and swirl it around until it covers the entire pan. You will quickly notice that it starts changing colour as it solidifies, begging at the edge. Once it reaches the centre, it's ready to flip with a silicon spatula. Don't be afraid to start thick and add milk to the batter between tries until it easily spreads as you turn the pan around. You will know you have the right proportion when it spread like this and doesn't tear as you lift it. Make sure the pan is covered in fat after each crape. The heat should be set to the temperature, where it takes about 15 seconds for the whole top to solidify then 5 seconds on the other, this is something you should tinker with after perfecting the batter.

First crepes are always messy but yours was perfect. I got a handheld crepe maker as a gift last year but haven't tried it yet

[@shaniballard8494]

My mom has this and still uses it every Christmas! Works great!

[@paigepetty2306]

I love it! I have this crepe maker in my basement. It was my mothers. There is a savory dish with chicken and peas she used to make that was delicious!

In the Trieste Italy Christmas Market I found a Crepe Stall that made a crepe with Nutella, Marshmallow Fluff and mashed banana. That was so good.

My mom has one of these crepe appliances from the 70s. It’s slightly different it has the heated portion attached to the pan. She’s been using it for YEARS! She makes blintzes with it.

[@vicooo1498]

She should probably switch it for a modern one. The non-stick coating from the 70s is toxic

I have a German-made Krupps crepe maker from 1982 (it was a wedding present for my parents). Similar idea to this one, but less bulky and all in a single piece (the cooking surface and the heating element are not separable). It works great!

Love these vintage tests and love Emmy's whole body shimmy when she tastes something she really likes.

[@askarsfan2011]

My mom had a crepe maker for years and used it to make great crepes. It came with the heating pan, a dipping bowl, and a recipe.

I look forward to all your videos! My best friend for 40 years is thoroughly American but her mom was Japanese and she is in touch with her heritage. I got her 3 months of the Japanese snack boxes for Christmas at a great price With your discount. Thank you so much!

That is so cool! Now I want one. When I went to Paris, way too many years ago, they had carts on street corners where you could get fresh crepes. They came with several different fillings but my favorite was orange marmalade.

This is the way my mother taught me how to make crepes. We have a rounded pan, and would make a nice, buttery crepe batter and then just dip the heated bottom of the pan in the batter and then flip the pan upside down over a plate, and let the crepe drop. It would take a few tries to get it started (sometimes the batter would get stuck to the pan), but after a few minutes, it would work out beautifully every time 🙂

In the 70s, there was a crepe chain called The Magic Pan. They had a contraption with a dozen pans on a turning carousel. Makes me want to pull out my fondue pot and Mr. Coffee machine. 😉 I love shopping for gadgets at the thrift shops.

I always smile watching your videos.❤

[@redskittle9340]

My parents got me one of these a couple years ago it still works like new and I still use it all the time definitely recommend you guys get one 👩🏼‍🍳

[@Allucyna]

ok french girl here. First, the secret for a very smooth batter is not overmix it (so no handmixer!!!) and add a bit of flour first, but not milk. You want to create a paste with butter, eggs, sugar and flour and then add slowly your milk to prevent lumps. you can add your flour in 2 times if your paste is too stiff, but you MUST have a paste like batter before adding all your milk LAST! Also, cooking crèpes need both sides to be cooked. Its the traditionnal why to do so, and its better that way. you can do it in a regular pan, or on a flat and round heating surface (like a pro crèpe maker)

[@castironkev]

Your vintage picking skills are impressive! Love the throw back kitchen stuff..

[@Madkalibyr]

Oh! Now I’m inspired to use my thrifted Sunbeam crepe maker! Mine isn’t from the 70s, it’s moreso all in one,it’s one unit that heats up,so you dip the whole thing into your batter without placing it on a separate heating element

[@BraniusBalki]

Yeah I don't know about that, I usually cook both sides adding butter to the pan in between. it kinda crisps up the sides. Used to have them as a kid with lemon and sugar.

[@JulianaBlewett]

You know that somebody got this as a wedding present and it sat on a shelf for decades and they decided to just let it go.

[@lisapop5219]

This looks like a wedding present nobody wanted

[@revolution724]

We had one of those when I was growing up! I loved it.

[@heathersawyer8207]

My Grandma had a crepe maker very much like that, I loved the mornings when she made us crepes 😋 I seem to remember that she mixed the batter in a blender...

[@sahidcm]

Great video as always 😄👍

[@ChubbyUnicorn]

My mom had that same appliance & made hundreds of crepes for parties. Back in 70s/ early 80s when crepes were exotic.

[@wysteriacarlino1302]

You make me giggle! Love Bokksu also!

[@kryw10]

I had one of these where the heating element was inside the pan (hard to explain) and you just picked the whole thing up and flipped it and had perfect crepes in no time and I wish I still had that thing, it was the best single purpose appliance I have ever owned. It had the same cookbook, I'm sure of it.

[@Lohengrin1850]

This is so neat! Next time you make them, try with Biscoff spread. It was the first thing I ever had on a crepe and it's delicious!

[@TextbookCommittee]

We had this growing up! It was fun and easy and worked!

[@z6886]

This is awesome. I love it
