Customer Reviews of Berndes 9-1/2-Inch Crepe Pan
Customer Rating:  Summary: Love this pan! Comment: This is the best pan I own. My others are all Calphalon, which I am learning to hate. The heat distribution is fabulous. It would take me twice as long to cook something in my other pans. I use the pan for everything. My only complaint is that the handle has become a bit wobbly. I've had the pan for 4 years. Customer Rating:  Summary: Great Pan! Comment: I have had this pan about 2 weeks. Absolutely fabulous. Much better than the Calphalon that I just put into the trash. The entire pan except handle is made from a single piece of spun aluminum for excellent heat distribution. The bottom surface unlike many other pans is ABSOLUTELY flat. The bottom has a raw shiny aluminum surface that looks beautiful hanging from your pot rack. The bottom also has engraved fine concentric circles for even more efficient heat conduction. The sides of the pan are about 1" tall and are sloped straight up providing more bottom surface area to cook on. The entire interior is coated with what appears to be one of the better grades of non-stick surface. I test non-stick surfaces by scraping them with my finger nails in the store. This one didn't budge. The handle is plastic, but large and easy to grasp. The exterior sides (not bottom) of the pan appear to have a dark black anodized color which is great for hiding any stains which eventually accumulate. I have made pancakes, fried eggs, and omelettes in this pan and it does a superb job. Extremely even heat distribution edge to edge, more efficient heat transfer as I have had to turn down the heat below where I used to keep it to cook on the stainless steel with aluminum disk calphalon. Non stick surface works so well, I don't even have to wash this pan. After cooking, let it cool a bit and just wipe it off with a papertowel. This also helps to promote "seasoning" of the non-stick surface and keep its non-stick properties at peak performance. I like the looks of this pan hanging from the potrack BETTER than copper, with its brilliant shiny bottom contrasting against jet black sides and dark non-stick interior with black handle. Made in Germany just like outstanding Miele vacuum cleaners! Ooh and the pan is relatively light weight because it is made of aluminum and plastic! Great overall! Customer Rating: Summary: Makes Great Crepes Comment: I make crepes regularly for guests and purchased this crepe pan several months ago. Previously, I was using an inexpensive (non-crepe) pan with fair results. I wanted a pan that would heat more evenly and quickly than my existing pan. The Berndes pan produces a perfect, lacy crepe that is consistent in size and texture. The shape of the pan makes it easy to handle the crepe at all stages. I have not had any issues with the non-stick surface. Though I use the pan regularly, I do admit there is very little contact with anything that may damage the surface. A silicone spatula loosens the crepe much better than a wood or plastic utensil. All in all, I am very satisfied with the Berndes crepe pan. If I ever buy another crepe pan, it will probably be this one. Customer Rating: Summary: didn't hold up in the long run Comment: I have had this pan for four years, and it is completely pitted and the nonstick coating is peeling off. It has never seen a metal utensil -- we only have plastic and wood utensils, so I guess the nonstick coating was either put on badly or not enough was applied at the factory. I'm kind of grossed out to think how much Teflon we ingested before I noticed the pitting. I would not buy this pan again.

Choosing Appliance -> Ovens Most avid bakers prefer separate, even-heat double electric ovens. If that describes you - and you have the space - be sure one of the ovens is equipped with a broiler that provides at least 3,000 watts of cooking power. Also look for racks that pull all the way out and lock in place for safe, easy access to the oven. On the inside, a dark interior shows less baked-on grime, while a porcelain interior is easier to clean Choosing Appliance -> Shopping Dryer When shopping for a new clothes dryer, look for one with a moisture sensor that automatically shuts off the machine when your clothes are dry. Not only will this save energy, it will save wear and tear on your clothes caused by over-drying. Keep in mind that gas dryers are less expensive to operate than electric dryers. The cost of drying a typical load of laundry in an electric dryer is 30 to 40 cents compared to 15 to 25 cents in a gas dryer. Berndes 9-1/2-Inch Crepe Pan
Kitchen tips -> Potatoes salad When cooking potatoes to use in potato salad, add a little vinegar to the water when boiling the potatoes. The vinegar causes the potatoes to form a thin crust, which helps them hold their shape |
