MasterChef Cordless Crepe Maker

Overview

MasterChef's cordless crepe maker works by dipping a round plate into batter, then setting it on the electric base to cook, rather than pouring batter into a fixed pan. It ships with a dipping plate, a spreader, and a recipe booklet aimed at getting thin, even crepes on the first try.

The dip-and-cook method is the whole idea here, and it takes a few tries before the rhythm clicks. One reviewer found the plate stopped picking up batter once it got too hot and started switching the base on and off mid-session to cool it down. The included batter pan reads as thinner than the cooking plate itself.

• Dipping plate and batter spreader included
• Cordless electric base keeps the cord clear of the counter
• Instruction and recipe booklet included
• Compact enough for regular countertop storage

Who it's for

Fits anyone who wants an easier route to thin, even crepes than a stovetop skillet, including first-time crepe makers and a reviewer who used it one-handed while pregnant. Families with kids old enough to help dip and flip get the most repeat use, since the recipe booklet walks through the basics.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

Cooking happens by dipping the round plate into batter on the counter, then resting it back on the electric base to finish, rather than pouring batter into a fixed pan. The plate heats quickly, and one reviewer worked out that flipping the base off for about 30 seconds between crepes kept the plate cool enough to keep picking up batter cleanly. The recipe booklet's batter, including its 30 minute rest, was called out as the difference between smooth crepes and bubbly ones.
