Types of Crepe Pans
When making crepes, what kind of cooking pan is best? While you can cook pancakes free-form on a large griddle, you do need a pan to cook crepes because the batter is much thinner. A defined edge is necessary to control the size and thickness of the crepe. The ideal pan for making crepes will be 8 or 10 inches in diameter.
