Quest 34400 2-in-1 Popcorn & French Crêpe Pancake Maker, Non-Stick 8 Inch Electric Pan with Batter Spreader - Also Cooks Eggs, Omelettes & Flatbreads., Black/Transparent

This is such a fantastic product. With pancake day coming up i thought I'd buy this as it would be easy to use, and it is. I've made so many pancakes the last few days and with little ease. I use a cooking oil spray, spread the pancake mix ontop wait a few minutes, flip the pancake over and do the same on the other side. It truly is non stick. When im finished I wait for it to cool down and wipe it with a damp sponge and that's it. The only thing I did not like is it comes with a wooden spatula and it splinters and bits of wood came off it, so ive thrown it away and I use my own spatula instead.

***UPDATE*** two years later and still going strong, use weekly still too! Firstly, I very rarely write reviews. Secondly, HOW AND WHY have I reached nearly 40 years old and only just now bought a pancake plate thing?!?!?! Its amazing i love it. So, I am a mum of three and always cook pancakes (the traditional crepe style or scotch type pancakes, one of the two) as my children love them for breakfast at the weekends. I normally cook my pancakes in a frying pan. Scotch pancakes are very easy no mater where i cook them but crepe type pancakes always give me jip in certain frying pans and seem to take ages and I cant get the heat right and use too much oil. Well, NOT ANYMORE! This is totally game changing. I only looked into a pancake maker because I make them so often (almost everyday) and my electric hob is extremely expensive to work now thanks to the energy price hike so bought this maker just to avoid using the hob. I will never look back, the pancakes are much faster to cook, much easier, the batter spreader is just pure genius, i love everything about it. VERY fast to heat up (unlike the hob/frying pan combo). I use fry light too by the way. Easy to clean (i just wipe the top, never scrub be careful to preserve the non stick coating). I cant recommend this product enough. Have only had a few days so will update if anything goes drastically wrong or it doesnt stand the test of time but right now im in love with a pancake maker. :) ***update… there is a lovely little recipe section in the instruction manual. Because of this I have now made flat bread for the first time. Kids loved it. We also made chapatis to go with our curry and WOW!!!! this is one of my most fave purchases for a long time x

Works well good pancakes

Great pancake pan

I was looking for a small electric frying pan and this is just perfect, perfect fried eggs, perfect French toast, perfect popcorn. Will try omelette, bacon, and pancakes next. The pan is just the right size for 1–2 people. It heats up incredibly quickly, and cooks very evenly, when I've reached a certain point in the cooking process I simply turn it off, and it continues to cook gently till food is ready. The pan is light and very simple to clean. I am very happy with this product.

Waste of time and money. Returned. There was very little heat after 40 mins at max setting. I could lay my bare hand on the plate. Have subsequently bought another brand which is excellent.

I only use this for pancakes, but it is used a few times a month in my house. Makes it so much easier than in a frying pan as I’m not a very good pancake maker massive hit with my kids too.

Ok, I’ll admit from the start that I have only used this once to cook popcorn and it wasn’t a total success. The popcorn tasted burnt and it took far longer to cook than I wanted but that might have been my error with the oil. I’ll try again but so far it seems ok. It wasn’t expensive so I didn’t expect the world. But at the same time I thought it would be a little more self-intuitive. Overall it’s easy to use but the instructions leave a little to be desired. I think you need to work oil portions out better than it says (the amount of oil it told me to use wasn’t enough). It is, however, a breeze to clean. Literally get some kitchen roll and wipe the oil off. Can’t wait to make crepes and pancakes on it though!
