Crepe spreaders
Crepe spreaders – giving your crepe a uniform spread
What is a crepe spreader?
A crepe spreader is a culinary tool used to uniformly spread crepe batter over the surface of a crepe pan. Crepe or pancake spreaders are T-shaped tools with a long handle and a narrow tube at the end that reminds of a rolling pin.
To use a crepe spreader, you first pour a small amount of crepe batter onto the centre of the crepe pan or griddle. Then, using the spreader's rounded edge, spread the batter evenly in a circular motion, working your way from the centre of the pan out to the pan's edges.
The idea is to spread the batter out evenly and thinly so that it cooks fast. A crepe spreader is a useful tool for anybody who likes creating crepes at home since it ensures that your crepes are just perfect!
What is the best size for a crepe spreader?
Crepe spreaders are available in a range of sizes and the best size of crepe spreader depends on the size of the crepes you want to make and your cookware.
A smaller crepe spreader is perfect if you wish to make smaller crepes and if you use a small pan while a larger spreader will be more appropriate if you desire larger crepes, use a large pan or an electric crepe maker.
Is a crepe spreader necessary?
A crepe spreader is a very usefull kitchen tool if you prepare a lot of crepes for your family or if you use a crepe maker. It can be useful for a number of reasons such as:
- Even distribution: A crepe will have a uniform thickness and texture if the batter is distributed uniformly across the surface of the pan, which can be accomplished by using a crepe spreader.
- Speed: Spreading the batter with a crepe spreader is quicker and simpler than using a spoon or spatula, which helps hasten the crepe-making process.
- Consistency: If you're creating a large batch of crepes, using a crepe spreader can guarantee that all of your crepes are identical in size and form.
