Crepe Maker Seasoning

Traditionally, crepe makers are equipped with a cast iron plate.

Before its first use, this type of crepe maker requires “seasoning”: this step is essential to protect the hotplate and give it its non-stick properties.

Allow about 1h30m to season your appliance. This very simple procedure is detailed below.

What should I use to season my crepe maker?

The seasoning of the crepe maker is done with a greasing pad.

Use of the pad

The pad is used with wipes that clip to its stainless steel base. Depending on the use, the wipes can be used alone or stacked. We recommend that you use:

• 1 to 3 stacked wipes for occasional use.
• 3 stacked wipes for intensive or professional use.

Seasoning settings

• Electric crepe maker: 250 °C temperature setting. Begin seasoning at temperature.

How to season your crepe maker

Once the recommended temperature has been reached, simply follow the steps described below:

Seasoning time: 1 to 1½ hours

For the first 4 layers: pour 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil onto the plate. Spread uniformly using the pad. Allow to dry until there is no more smoke: 5 to 10 minutes, repeat 4 times.

From the 5th to the 9th layer: pour ½ teaspoon of vegetable oil onto the plate. Spread uniformly using the pad. Allow to dry until there is no more smoke: 5 to 10 minutes, repeat 5 times.

Last layer: rub the pad over the plate without adding fat.

End result: seasoning which looks like varnish, light chestnut in colour

For the first run, between each crêpe, grease the newly seasoned plate well.
