Mauviel Cuprinox Pour La Table 12-Inch Crepe Pan with Cast-Iron Handle Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I wanted a crepe pan that could handle some heat. No nonstick crepe pan can produce the kind of crepes I'm looking for. This pan, however, becomes practically nonstick after the first coat of butter after heating it up. It cleans up easily and is the best quality and most beautiful copper pan in my collection. I just cooked several courses of crepes: mushroom and brie, yogurt and banana, and nutella and banana. This pan cooks the crepe perfectly.

All Clad Electric Griddle Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I enjoy All-Clad's quality cookware and I have their handsome slow-cooker but I have a passion for griddles and this one doesn't cut it. Non-stick is a non-durable finish. I have All-Clad non-stick and it's worthless after the first year. Non-stick Aluminum is a flimsy deal for $300. I can get a Presto grill like that for $30 which I won't mind tossing in a year or two. For $300, I would expect a griddle to be durable for many years. This one indicates it has "thermostats" but it's not clear whether it has thermostatic control. Most likely it cycles the heat on and off based on a timing switch just like the cheap ones -- but if it doesn't, All-Clad isn't saying because they don't document this griddle on their website at all as of December 2009. Their electrics don't impress me as my slow-cooker boils everything on the low setting (We're at 5000 feet where water boils at about 200F). I have a feeling All-Clad's headed the way of Kitchen-Aide -- once renowned for their mixers and now known for every piece of imported junk you can think of.
A quick look at [...] shows that real thermostatic electric griddles with polished steel plates are a little pricier than All-Clad's mini griddle here. Why would they make world-class pans that nobody in the world would be ashamed to use but down-class their electrics to fit among the junk at the all-import stores?
