Cooking
▪ It is recommended to use sunflower oil to grease the griddle.
▪ Cooking temperature for crêpes is between 200°C/230°C approx.
▪ Before spreading the first crêpe, or before each crêpe making session, lightly grease the
griddle.
▪ To make a crepe, poor a ladle of batter on the hot griddle. Spread the batter with the
wood spreader Krampouz.
▪ Whilst cooking, simply wipe the griddle to remove cooking residue.
▪ If the appliance remains heated for a long time without being used, ensure you lightly
grease the griddle before re-use.
Practical advice
▪ If the batter runs on the griddle or sticks to the spreader: do not grease. Badly made
batter can have the same effect. Remove excess oil
▪ The batter only bubbles: it is too runny or badly-made or else the griddle is too hot.
▪ If the griddle only sticks: lightly grease with a little cooking oil.
▪ If the batter bubbles and sticks to the griddle:
✓ You have not seasoned enough: continue the seasoning operation
✓ The griddle is charred: scrape and redo the seasoning operation
