WMF offers numerous devices within its Lono range. Just like the Grill and Plancha, the crepe maker does not really stand out for its characteristics, but its careful finishes still hide some pleasant surprises.
For its Lono crepe maker, WMF has taken care of appearances without neglecting performance. The rise in temperature could certainly have been more uniform, but the heat ends up diffusing into the plate quite quickly and remains there very well. The presence of a rim also prevents you from wasting too much dough on the work surface while you learn how to turn a nice crepe, but we still prefer smooth plates, especially since, at WMF, the edge encroaches a little too much on the cooking surface.
Strong points
- Beautiful finishes.
- Cooking homogeneity.
- Few temperature variations.
- Removable and dishwasher-safe plate.
- Pancakes often thicker on the edge.
Weak points
- Edge not high enough, and annoying to spread the dough well.
- Slightly curved plate.
- Imprecise temperature adjustment.
NB: The reported price drop is calculated by comparing the lowest price of the day with the average of the lowest prices charged by all merchants for the product last month, with security rules to exclude the prices of stores whose the VAT policy is not clear (so-called “gray” stores, typically in the case of imports from China).
Alternatively
Krampouz is expanding its crepe maker offering and is targeting a less sophisticated audience with the Diabolo. Thanks to its non-stick plate and its specific dough spreader, cooking large, thin pancakes will no longer hold any secrets for anyone. The device allows you to learn how to make crepes before moving on to a semi-professional device. However, its temperature variations could hinder certain users who are looking for great efficiency and speed of execution.
