Overview
A 12 inch electric griddle and crepe maker with a non-stick aluminum plate, 5 temperature settings, and an included batter spreader, doubling as a flat griddle for pancakes and bacon.
Priced well below the more expensive crepe makers reviewers compared it to, it wins over people who expected less for the money. Build quality issues show up at the margins though: one buyer had the plastic temperature slider break off on first use, and another found the raised edge around the plate makes it awkward to spin the wooden batter spreader all the way to the rim, leaving thicker edges on the crepe.
- 12 inch non-stick aluminum cooking surface
- 5 temperature settings
- Batter spreader included
- Ready indicator light and rubber feet
Who it's for
Home cooks who want an affordable dedicated crepe surface that also works as a pancake or bacon griddle. Less suited to anyone wanting a larger crepe maker with a perfectly even edge on the first try, without practicing the spreader technique.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Reviewers repeatedly say it outperforms its price, with several comparing it favorably to pricier crepe makers and praising the even heat and easy cleanup. Complaints include a faint plastic smell on first use, one broken temperature control slider, and a raised plate edge that some say prevents the included wooden spreader from producing a fully even crepe.

Questions about the Eurolux EL-1100
Common buyer questions answered straight from the product spec data - no fluff, no "it depends".
Can the Eurolux crepe maker also be used as a griddle?
Yes, the same non-stick aluminum plate works for pancakes, bacon, and other griddle foods, not just crepes.
Does it come with tools for spreading the batter?
Yes, a wooden batter spreader and a spatula are included, though the plate's raised edge can make spreading fully to the rim tricky for some users.
How many temperature settings does it have?
Five settings, though several reviewers found level 1 to 3 was hot enough for crepes.
