Does this pan work well for regular (thicker type) of pancakes, not just crepes?

I make fabulous egg omelettes on it, quite often. More often than not, I use it to make pancakes and only occasionally use it to make crepes. It does a good job with all these and the occasional fried egg.

I haven't had that problem. I use it pretty much only for pancakes. My issue is that the heating isn't very even. But to get really even heat I think you'd have to invest a lot. So for the price it's ok.

Depending on how much batter you pour in the 9" pan. 1/4 cup will fill the pan - swirl batter to the outer edge. For thinner crepes, use less batter and swirl batter as far as it can go. The thinner the crepe, the faster it cooks.

I use this pan for crepes. It really doesn't need to be seasoned. For crepes, you need a slight amount of oil (sprayed or brushed) and I have had no problem with sticking.

I think so, but whatever it is.. as long as you spread a little oil to moisten the surface... the batter cooks wonderfully & peels off easily. I am so pleased with it! Cooks evenly. Just watch crepe carefully and I usually put the setting to max - "2" so that I have total control. Good luck.

Hasn't been for us. Still works good. We cook pancakes on it all the time. A real thin egg mix for omelets or something like that doesn't work but thicker liquids like pancakes no problem.

I have not made any crepes or omelets, but have had good luck with fried eggs and vegan pancakes. I follow what another reviewer suggested for frying eggs (heat pan empty, then heat up oil, use room temperature eggs) and that works well for me.

yes, but you have to know how to control temperature, pancakes cooks perfect at a low temperature an add a little oil to te griddle before.

We make pancakes often and they never stick. It is a pleasure to make them on the griddle because I can prepare half the batch I need for my family at once (it fits about 6 at a time). I do recommend turning on your stove and really allowing it to heat up for a few minutes (I just put both burners to medium heat) before putting down your batter ...or the first batch of pancakes won't cook evenly. Once it is up to temperature it really maintains the even heat well. I have never tried crepes on the griddle. I will admit I do wash the griddle sometimes (with Method dish soap) after eggs (which do crust on a bit) and when I put it back on my stove for storage I will spray a bit of Pam on it and then wipe it with a paper towel.

Waffle cone, possibly, I just wouldn't lock the latch. Crepes, I wouldn't, the batter is very thin, I would think it would just run over the side, also the heating element can get very hot & it stays hot, so i wouldnt reccomend unless you want a crunchy crepe, your better off using an omelet pan or plett pan

Sharon, actually a thicker batter would be better, the slide that is over the hole does not seal so a thinner batter like pancake batter tends to drip out slowly as it sits. This is a very well made dispenser and I would purchase another one in a heartbeat if I needed one.

It is about 3 b lbs. It is easy to handle. Making crepes would be a large ones, but you could. It is good for pancakes.

I have the 12" version of this pan and on mine I have to say that the bottom is not completely flat-there is a slight hump in the center. Ingredients, including oil, tend to pool up in the edges of the pan while the middle stays bare. It's not an illusion caused by the non-stick qualities. Not good for applications like pancakes or crepes but ok for stir fry, browning meat, etc. That being said, the nonstick is pretty incredible and, overall it's a decent pan. Just depends on if you need a completely flat surface.

I use this in a standard 13X9 Pyrex pan and it works great! It is a snug fit so I would assume it would do well in the pan size you specify as it is bigger. It is sturdy and I believe it would be fine.

Practice and oil. Do not expect stainless steel cookware cook easily like nonstick . I can make good omelette, maybe 80% of time only. Have not tried crepes yet.

I've had no problems thus far. I bought this skillet so I could genuinely scour it if I had to cook something likely to stick to nonstick surfaces. I still use a fairly pedestrian nonstick for less demanding applications. This is a very good quality pan - it should resist warping at least as much as any other brand. One thing I value is its ability to handle oven heat.

Just spoke to house chef and he said he would not recommend it. A traditional crepe pan would work.
