Must-Have Crepe Accessories
The essentials
With these three, you can make crepes as thin and even as a crêperie.
A flat crepe pan
Low sides make it easy to swirl the batter thin and slide a spatula under the edge. A 10-inch non-stick pan is the most versatile home size.
Cuisinart 10-Inch Crepe Pan, Chef's Classic Nonstick Hard Anodized (623-24)
A crepe spreader and spatula
The T-shaped spreader pushes batter into a thin, even round, and the long, thin wooden spatula lifts and turns crepes without tearing them.
Indigo True Crepe Spreader and Spatula Kit, beechwood (7" spreader, 14" spatula)
A balloon whisk
Whisks crepe batter smooth in a minute, with no lumps and no need for a blender.
OXO Good Grips 11-Inch Balloon Whisk, stainless steel
Nice to have
Not essential, but they make crepes more consistent.
A kitchen scale
Weighing flour is far more accurate than scooping it with a cup, so the batter comes out the same every time.
OXO Good Grips 11 lb Stainless Steel Food Scale with Pull-Out Display
A silicone pastry brush
Brushes a thin film of melted butter over a hot pan without scorching, so crepes release cleanly and don’t fry at the edges.
