Is it hard to flip the crepe with a crepe spatula since there are raised edges on the pan?

Well, the raised edge is a benefit. You can slide the spatula easily under the raised edge to get to the bottom of the crepe or pancake.

Works perfect. No Issues at all.We bought two pans. Much easier to make a larger quantity using 2.

Actually I don't use a crepe spatula. I prefer tongs to flip them. I buy plastic tongs and they work great because they're not sharp and won't tear the crepe.

Hi, Yes, it can be quite difficult. :-( The last time I did it, I ended up using a pair of large pliars. It's also hard to remember which way to turn it, because it is, sort of, upside down. Try to move the part closest to you from right to left. Once you loosen it a little it gets easier.

You can do either method but I just use it as a weight and flip. Heating it by itself can drip grease (from seasoning cast iron) onto the burner and I don't want the mess. The handle gets very hot so be sure to use an oven mitt...ove gloves are great!!!

It's ok. I use an electric stove top and I get a hot spot in the middle of the crepe. But they still turn out great.

Hello, the waffles produced by this appliance are not extremely thick. The waffles produced are similar to those on the picture, but cannot be thicker. Contrary to good old cast iron waffle pans that you would flip, this one does not flip, but it cooks very evenly if your dough is well done. I really like this waffle maker (especially for its price)

get the highest heat-resistant spatula you can find. Just don't leave it resting on the griddle.

The pan on mine is just fine. The tilt is horrible. I took it apart and used a high quality lithium grease on it. I would suggest you not buy it.

I believe so, but you have to have the pastry (or what ever) going over the edge so that it can be crimped.

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.

No I use it in a 10" pan a lot and it's fine. It's great for flipping in a small pan because you can lift the omelet completely out of the pan to turn it over.

Really difficult. High heat is discouraged as that will damage the surface. We keep a cast iron skillet on hand for searing.

There are not any sharp edges on the pan. It's all pretty safe. Mine has scratched up some but it's not horrible and I don't think there's any way it wouldn't. But it all seems pretty durable.

Food still crisps and since the `cooking' side of the food is facing the pan even without the screen you'd still need to use a spatula to lift up the underside to know how you're doing if you don't already have the `feel' of searing your food.

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

Yes we can. Let the first side cook for a while until golden brown and, with adequate oil used initially (not much needed actually), it won't stick. We can flip it over quite easily. I use a wooden chopstick to lift up the edge and then with the other hand, a spatula to flip it over. Practice makes it easier.

It is not as thin as a metal spatula used for crepes but I think it would work well. I use it for cooking all types of delicate items in the frying pan including pancakes, fried eggs, and fish. It is a great tool for stick free surfaces.

Not hard to turn at all. You might need to put in smaller chunks than with softer cheeses. I absolutely love this grater and it is VERY easy to clean!
