Meet Krepin: An Easier Way to Make Homemade Crêpes

There’s something about warm crêpes that makes an ordinary morning feel a little more special. Lemon and sugar, melted chocolate, fresh strawberries—or all three if nobody’s judging.

Making them in a frying pan, though? That can take a little patience. Getting the batter thin enough, swirling it before it sets and trying to flip it without tearing it isn’t everyone’s idea of a relaxing breakfast.

Krepin makes the process simpler. Our handheld electric crêpe maker uses a dip-and-cook method to help you make thin crêpes without the usual pouring, spreading and pan-swirling routine.

What is Krepin, and how does it work?

Krepin is a corded electric crêpe maker with a 25 cm cooking plate and an automatic thermostat.

Instead of pouring batter into a frying pan, you briefly dip the heated cooking surface face-down into your batter. Lift it out, turn it upright and let the thin layer cook before transferring your crêpe onto a plate.

The dipping motion coats the surface directly, so there’s no need to chase the batter around a pan before it sets. With a suitable thin batter, your crêpe cooks through from one side without needing to be flipped.

A mixing bowl and whisk are included, so all you need to add is your ingredients and favourite toppings.

Why choose Krepin over a frying pan?

A frying pan is useful for plenty of things. But if you love thin crêpes, having a tool designed specifically for them can make breakfast much more straightforward.

Skip the tricky spreading step

Traditional pan cooking means judging how much batter to pour, then tilting the pan quickly enough to spread it.

Krepin’s dipping method handles that step differently: the cooking surface picks up a thin coating of batter directly. There’s still a little practice involved, but you can focus on the crêpes instead of perfecting your pan technique.

No awkward flipping

Trying to slide a spatula underneath a delicate crêpe can be the moment everything falls apart—quite literally.

Krepin is designed to cook a thin layer through from one side, removing the need for a mid-cook flip. Once cooked, gently release your crêpe and get straight to the toppings.

Automatic temperature regulation

With a frying pan, you adjust the hob and judge when the surface is ready. Krepin’s 650W heating system and automatic thermostat regulate the cooking temperature, giving you one less thing to manage while making a batch.

Batter consistency and cooking time still affect your results, so follow the supplied instructions and allow a little room to find your rhythm.

Keep your hob free

Krepin runs from a suitable electrical socket, so it doesn’t need a hob ring. That’s handy when you’re preparing other breakfast dishes or simply want to make a few crêpes without getting the frying pan out.

Simple cleanup

Once you’ve finished, unplug Krepin and allow it to cool completely before wiping the cooking surface according to its care instructions.

Do not immerse the electrical appliance in water or place it in the dishwasher.

Product specifications

Choose the voltage and plug combination that matches your local electrical supply. The voltage options are separate models, not a dual-voltage setting.

What can you make with Krepin?

Start with classic sweet crêpes: lemon and sugar, chocolate and banana, or strawberries with a spoonful of cream.

For something savoury, fill your cooked crêpes with prepared ham and cheese or cooked mushrooms and spinach. You can also experiment with thin layers for a crêpe cake, blintzes and batter-based wrappers using suitable recipes.

Krepin is best suited to thin batters and delicate layers, rather than thick, fluffy American-style pancakes.

A little practice, plenty of possibilities

For your first batch, use a smooth batter suited to a dipping crêpe maker and follow the supplied instructions for preheating, dipping and cooking.

Give yourself a few tries to get comfortable with the motion. Once you’ve found your rhythm, you can build a stack and let everyone choose their own fillings.

A slow weekend breakfast. A warm dessert after dinner. Crêpes and hot chocolate on a rainy afternoon.

That’s what Krepin is about: making a homemade favourite easier to enjoy, whenever the craving arrives.
