What the AI looks for in Crepe Pans
- Rim height
- Very low, flared rim You need to get a spatula under and flip thin crepes without obstruction.
- Diameter
- Roughly 8 to 10 in (20 to 26 cm) cooking surface for home crepes; larger for galettes Diameter sets crepe size, and oversized pans exceed home burners.
- Material
- Carbon steel or cast iron for longevity; nonstick only if you accept replacement Seasoned steel improves with use, while nonstick coatings wear out.
- Cooktop
- Flat base that matches burner size; check induction compatibility Hot spots tear crepes and leave pale rings.

- de Buyer: French carbon steel, the classic crepe pan.
