What is a Crêpe Pan?
A crêpe pan is a frying pan for cooking crêpes. Crêpes are the French version of very thin pancakes, although most cuisines have a version of the crêpe. The crêpe pan most often has shallow, sloping sides, and is often coated with a non-stick finish so the crêpe can be turned and removed from the pan easily. The crêpe pan is the most straightforward way to cook crêpes.

The crêpe pan is the most straightforward way to cook crêpes. One innovative variety of crêpe pan has also come on the market: the upside-down crêpe pan. This crêpe pan looks much like a regular pan, except what we would call the underside is actually the top. The top is dipped in a shallow pan of crêpe batter and the crêpe pan is then placed on the stove. The upside-down crêpe pan helps make a very thin crêpe, which cooks in less than a minute, meaning more crêpes can be cooked in a shorter time.
