How to Use a Commercial Crepe Maker

While France is known for their delicious crepes, they have become increasingly popular in the United States. Many restaurants have created menus dedicated to this tasty food. Crepes are a great way to expand your restaurant menu as they're not just for dessert anymore. In order to make these thin, scrumptious delicacies, we'll walk you through using an Equipex Discus Crepe Maker, one of our great products. We also want to share some delicious recipes we've found on the web that will get you started and will be sure to impress.
The Equipex Discus Crepe Maker is designed for professional, commercial crepe-making. The Equipex Discus Crepe Maker is simple to use thanks to its basic design. It appears like a flat single electric burner, which is essentially is; however it's much more than that. Once you've got your Discus Crepe Maker set up where you wish to use it, you'll first start by spraying the Discus with a non-stick baking spray. Next, preheat the Discus for approximately 10 to 20 minutes by selecting the appropriate temperature. To do this you'll rotate the thermostat knob clockwise. Most recipes recommend the Discus cook at 450°F but it can be controlled up to 570°F. Once it's fully preheated you'll want to slowly pour your crepe batter onto the black surface of the Discus. Use the Equipex Discus Batter Spreader that comes with the machine to evenly spread and shape your crepe in a perfectly round circle.
When you have a smooth circular crepe formed flip it after 30 seconds to 1 minute, this is the optimal amount of temperature to heat your batter to a light and airy consistency. The batter will typically have small air holes when it’s ready to be flipped. At this point it's about halfway through the baking process and should be flipped to continue baking evenly. After flipping, quickly add all of your delicious ingredients. Leave this to cook for an additional 30 seconds, fold in half and your crepe is now cooked. Finish your crepe off with toppings to create an amazing presentation. If you're lost on ideas for fillings, we recommend simple, classic ingredients like raspberries and cream. Strawberry and Nutella crepes are another simple but delicious recipe that is really making a name for itself on dessert menus. If you’re looking for a savory crepe that could perform as an entree though, try a creamy mushroom crepe filling, perfect for lunch or dinner menu. Pair this with a decadent salad and you've got a great meal. There are endless crepe recipes that you can explore and recreate with the Equipex Discus Crepe Maker.
After you have finished making your crepes it’s critical that you clean the Equipex Discus Crepe Maker. Regularly cleaning your Discus Crepe maker keeps it hygienic and in proper working condition. To clean your crepe maker first let it cool. Wiping it with water too early could cause it to scorch or burn. Use a damp cloth with mild soap to clean the stainless steel housing plate. You can use a sponge like Scotch Brite’s Power Scrub Sponge to remove any carbon deposits from the crepe plate, just make sure you use only the non-abrasive side on the burner itself. Water should not enter the ventilation hole around the unit as this can cause damage to the Equipex Discus Crepe Maker. If you make many crepes throughout the day you'll also want to be sure you perform a thorough cleaning on the crepe maker at the end of each day.
