Appearance
Inferior, almost useless black cartridge
As soon as I installed the cartridge and used it to make copies or print, the printouts were light and very smudgy. I cleaned the nozzles, but that didn't help. Using the Normal quality setting only resulted in copies that were even more smudgy. I used the cartridge to copy/print approximately 20 pages in Draft. By then the ink was completely gone and the machine wouldn't copy or print any more.I'll never buy from this vendor again. I'll probably never buy a cartridge by mail order again.
Not for Commercial use
I wanted a crepe pan that would hold up to alot of high temp. After 2 weeks of use it looked old. This is a terrific pan for home use, but not for commercial. We followed all instructions for cleaning. With alot of use it just can't handle high temps with a gas stove.
it melted!!
I bought this pan 2 years ago, and I just tossed it in the garbage. As far as functionality, it is a little too heavy for flipping crepes, but the low walls make it easy to use a spatula. It distributes heat evenly, which is what you'd want. The outer coating scratches easily, but the biggest problem is that the nonstick coating melted. My husband just used it to grill some peppers and did so at the highest heat setting on the stove. The Teflon coating turned white and literally melted to goo, hence the 1 star rating. It held up well on medium heat for crepe making but the first time on high heat and it became garbage. Somehow I think this should not have happened.
Only for crepes?
I use this pan to cook sausage and eggs about five mornings a week. I have meticulously followed every instruction about heat levels, cool-down, and cleaning. The pan worked fine for a couple of months, but now food has started to stick, even with grease in the pan. The no-stick surface looks perfect, but everything sticks.Maybe this pan is only good for crepes? In any case, I'm going back to my 10-year-old, ratty-looking pan with most of its no-stick surface scratched off -- it still works better than this one! For me, this pan was a waste of money.
FANTASTIC!
This is an excellent product. It is well made. Crepes cook evenly and quickly and clean up is with a damp cloth. I highly recommend it.
Crepe Pan
Bought this crepe pan for myself. I like the feel of the handle and the way it is shaped. I used it to make crepes for Christmas morning and was pleased by the way it performed. It is slightly more expensive than some of the others available but I believe I have gotten good value for the money I spent.
