Crêpe maker
A crêpe maker is a cooking device used to make crêpes, galettes, pancakes, blinis or tortillas. It should not be mistaken for a regular pan or a crêpe pan.
Origins
Crêpe makers were originally large cast-iron plates set over the fire to cook cereal-based batters. The machines have since evolved and the cast-iron plates were set on top of stainless steel frames. These first machines were electric machines, and later on, gas crêpe griddles were developed as well. Although professional cast-iron crêpe makers usually need to be seasoned, non-stick cast-iron griddles can now be commonly found on the market.
Denomination
Crêpe cooking machines are commonly referred to as crêpe makers or crêpe griddles.
They are also known as billig, mainly in Brittany, France, where crêpes originated. Billig is a mutated form of the breton word pillig meaning "crêpe maker".
