2. Those things are huge! |
|
I watched several of the videos since they seem to just start automatically one after the other. I wonder tho if they are traditionally that big or if it's just being done for the flair?

3. That is how they are prepared all over Paris |
|
Of course, this is a report I received from my children, who have traveled France.

5. I think it is easier to fill the larger they are. |
|
And I love the different folds. I have always been exposed to rolled crepes. Watching the YouTube videos, I like how the Chinese spin their crepes to spread them out.

6. Makes me want to turn my big Calphalon pan |

upside down for the next batch. It looks a lot easier to make them on a flat surface and I think coming up with a "rake" to spread the batter would be fairly easy. Filling a crepe that size would be sheer luxury.
Crepes in the home are smaller, friends from France have made them for breakfast in my kitchen and haven't picked the hugest skillet to do it.
The secret to crepes (or any egg based stovetop concoction) is temperature. You have to keep it low.

9. The low temp was the surprise for me in the video. |
|
I would have assumed they cooked faster. An overturned Calphalon pan sounds like an interesting experiment.
