Max. pancake diameter
The largest diameter of a single pancake that can be cooked on a pancake maker.
The choice for this parameter depends solely on the user's preferences and the specifics of the dishes that are supposed to be cooked: for example, it is more convenient to make traditional pancakes, in which the filling is supposed to be wrapped, to make large, and crepes or pancakes — small. There are also multi-purpose pancake makers equipped with removable panels (see above) and allowing you to cook both large and small pancakes.
Note that in self-leveling models without sides (see "Type"), this paragraph usually indicates the diameter of the working surface. The actual sizes of the prepared pancakes will be smaller — in fact it is very difficult to distribute the dough over the entire surface without pouring it over the edges.
Accessories
Additional accessories supplied with the crepe maker.
— Dough dispenser. It is a T-shaped tool that evenly spreads batter on the crepe maker's surface, ensuring a consistent thickness of the crepe. It is especially useful for models with large working surfaces where the batter may not spread evenly on its own.
— Spatula. Used for flipping pancakes and removing the finished product from the heated surface. It is typically similar in design to regular kitchen spatulas, but when purchased with the crepe maker, it is usually optimized for compatibility with non-stick coatings.
— Ladle. This accessory is used for pouring batter onto the crepe maker's surface. The ladle included with the crepe maker may have a volume that matches the size of the working surface, which may not be guaranteed if purchased separately.
— Container for batter. This accessory is essential for submersible models of crepe makers. It should ideally match the size of the working surface to ensure proper operation. Classic bulk models (see "Type"), on the other hand, do not have specific requirements for the batter container and can be used with regular kitchen bowls, so they are rarely equipped with this accessory.
