When choosing a crepe maker you should take into account the following issues :
Standards : Check out the standards in force in your country and the available and authorized type of energy.
Gas choice : Temperature rises rapidly. The cost of energy is sometimes cheaper. The cylinder of gas allows more autonomy.
Electric choice : The working atmosphere is cooler. Easy and comfortable use. Do not forget to check the voltage (230 - 400 or 110 Vac) as well as the power of your socket (10 - 16 or 20 amps) when selecting your machine.
Standard and 6000 ranges : These crepe makers are the cheapest. The gas models can be used without any time limit. The electric models are recommended for occasional use.
Luxury range : These crepe makers are advised for a regular or a repeated and intensive use, particularly for the electric version. They are more powerful and have several technical advantages.
Accessories choice : Our advice :
The abrasive stone to clean the griddles
The cleaning pads and spare felts to grease and clean the griddles
The 18 or 20 cm spreader
The 40 cm wooden spatula or the 30 - 35 cm stainless steel spatulas
The Ø 7 and 8 cm stainless steel ladles
Try also : The patented and easy batter spreader. (for Ø 35 and 40 cm crepe makers, standard and luxury ranges)
How to use of the crepe maker: Each crepe maker contains a wooden spreader, a wooden spatula and instructions including recipes and advice on how to use and to clean it.

Waffle irons
Check out the compatibility of your waffle machine with your current and socket.
Opening system choice :
90°opening : The cheapest from the range. They can be used to cook the batter but they are generally advised to warm up precooked waffles.
180°opening : They are mainly used to cook waffles. As the irons tip up, the liquid batter is perfectly distributed on both sides and the cleaning is easy.
Swivel waffle irons : The advantages are the same as for the 180°opening machines. They are recommended for an intensive production : the irons turn upside down; the waffle machine becomes easier to handle and thus more comfortable to use.
Waffle type choice : Depending on the countries, some waffle types are more used than others. In France, we mainly use the 4x6B type to make the rectangular Brussels waffles (from a liquid batter), and the 4x7 L type to make the oval Liege waffles (from a bowl batter).
How to use your waffle iron : Each machine contains a waffle pick, a greasing brush and instructions including recipes and advice on how to use and to clean it.
