So let’s see how to make the right choice pancake machines!

Electric pancake pans

The electric pancake pans are devices specifically designed to simplify the preparation of pancakes. These pans feature a non-stick cooking surface and built-in heating elements, allowing pancakes to cook quickly and evenly.

Indeed, they are designed to guarantee a uniform heating of the cooking surface. This means that the pancakes will cook evenly across the pan, avoiding burns or overcooked areas.

Electric pancake pans vary in size and cooking capabilities. Some models can bake a single pancake at a time: they are small and space-saving pans, perfect for singles or couples who don’t prepare so much dough at a time.

The LONSVTTU frying pan, for example, allows you to cook one pancake at a time giving it a nice heart shape. Inside it is also possible to cook eggs, using both gas and induction hobs.

Automatic pancake machines

An alternative to frying pans is that of automatic pancake machines, which are small appliances designed to make the pancake-making process as easy as possible. These machines are equipped with an automatic system that doses the dough and cooks the pancakes autonomously.

They plug into the electrical socket, they heat up and once the temperature is reached it is possible to place the right amount of dough which is cooked automatically in a few seconds.

There are open automatic pancake machines, which look like a plate with slots for pancakes, convenient for seeing where the dough is cooking. As in the case of Techwood TCP-800a plate for pancakes and small crêpes for 8 people.

There are also automatic pancake machines with lid, which work similar to waffle makers. Once they are turned on and the temperature is reached, place the dough, close the lid and after a few seconds the pancakes are ready. You don’t need to turn them because these machines are heated both above and below, which makes making pancakes even easier.

ROMMELSBACHER is an example of a pancake maker with lid, which prepares 4 pancakes at a time with a diameter of 13.5 cm each and features an LED display, control light, overheating protection and 15-minute timer for personalized cooking times.

Dispenser per pancake

To make the use of pancake machines even easier, whether they are frying pans or automatic, the dispenser per pancake. This tool usually consists of a container with a lever or button on the top that allows the dough to be dispensed onto the hob in the form of small circles.

One of the main advantages of the pancake dispenser is precisely the ability to dose the dough with precision. You can adjust the opening of the spout or the pressure on the lever to control the amount of dough dispensed. This allows you to get pancakes from uniform size and helps avoid waste, especially if you use wide pans without pancake slots.

PERFETSELLfor example, is a 900ml pancake dispenser with a wide-mouth design on the top, so you can easily insert the batter via a ladle, and a hole on the bottom that’s adjustable by the ergonomic handle that dispenses the desired amount of batter.
