Nice pan, but terrible handle
I have been making crepes for 30 years, using various frying pans. I fry my crepes in butter at high heat, getting a beautiful golden-brown finish. The thinner pans heat quickly for fast cycle-times, but also heat unevenly because of poor heat distribution. Most recently I have been using All-clad copper-core 12" frying pan which works pretty well, but I wanted the very low-profile edge, and the heavy copper for the ultimate even-heat distribution.
So I bought this Mauviel 12" crepe pan, which is 1.5mm copper with a stainless lined interior. Mauviel has 3 different handle options for most of the cookware - stainless, cast-iron or bronze. For this pan, I could only find the bronze.
The handle has turned-out to be the biggest problem. First of all, this is a heavy pan, weighing nearly 4 pounds. The handle is just too thin - it is barely an inch wide, and about 1/4" thick. It is just uncomfortable to work with - lifting, rotating, flipping the crepes with...
Excellent pan.
Perfect crepes every time. Great addition to kitchen and mauviel collection.
Easy to clean and use. We love love love it.
