A crêpière is a specialized cooking tool used to make crêpes, which are thin pancakes originating from France. This device typically features a flat, round surface that is heated to cook the batter evenly. Crêpières can be electric or stovetop models, and they often come with a wooden spreader to help achieve the desired thinness of the crêpe. In addition to making sweet crêpes, a crêpière can also be used for savory varieties, filled with ingredients like cheese, vegetables, or meats. The versatility of the crêpière makes it a popular choice for both home cooks and professional chefs in French cuisine.
