We are in the process to open a creperie and figured there is no doing wrong in trying at the price this appliance is sold for. We researched the other commercial products available and comparing just the differences in specs it is common sense why other brands are more than 3 times the price of the Waring. The build and fit is solid and well fabricated. Look wise it is similar to other brands. To start using the crepe maker the cast iron top needs to be seasoned. This requires the highest temperature setting and right away the 110 V / 1800 watts showed some limitations. It took over 20 min. to reach the desired temperature. There was just little inconsistency in maintaining the temperature. After seasoning the cooking surface we reduced the temperature and made the first Crepe. No sticking and it worked fine. However it took a bit too long for each crepe. Reason for this is just plain and simple the way this crepe maker is powered. Most commercial electric Crepe makers have a 220V / 3600 watt cook top which ensures quick heating up to any desired temperature, most importantly temperature consistency. The Waring is surely a good machine and for home use or a small restaurant that offers crepe as one of their dishes it works fine. For a creperie I have to say it is underpowered. We will use this machine to just make our gluten free crepe's as we don't expect to have too many orders for those. We will also purchase the Krampouz double burner Crepe maker to be sure tho have all the power we need to make Crepes fast and consistent. Hope this review helps......

We received ths machine as a present.

I am used to make crepes since I was a child, this crepe maker is for commercial purposes, but for a family is a real treasure, you will be making the most wonderful crepes in your house, that way you can control the quality on the ingredients.

The first time you must need to season it, takes around 2 hours for the process, but once it gets done, this machine will be ready to make crepes and galettes.

I tried many recipes from Paris, Dinan and Palma de Mallorca; But I finally use the recipe from Norway.

You may need to practice to make decent crepes, but it really worth it, they come out great.

This is a commercial unit, you need experience to use it, if you are looking for one of the best crepe maker, this is the one for the price.

We can't live without it.

I was looking for a full-size crepe maker to replace my old Tibos 13" consumer unit. This one seemed to fit the bill. I do like the 16" size can finally make real restaurant-size crepes.

However please be warned that the cooking surface requires seasoning so the batter won't stick. It's cast iron and comes unfinished, unlike the black surface pictured in the photo. To season it (according to the instructions) you need to crank up the temp to max and rub a tablespoon of oil on it, let it soak in/burn off, rub again, then repeat 8 times til you have an oil finish on the steel.

I wasn't able to get a very even application of the oil and I have some spots where my batter sticks, which really messes up my crepes. I'm still trying to season it some more and see if I can get it to be stick-free, but I'm not there yet. Also, the metallic spatula that comes with it can scratch off the seasoned oil surface wonder how this is supposed to work?

My first two days with this crepe maker have not been the best, but hopefully it'll improve. Right now I'm kinda wishing I had found a 16" crepe maker at a decent price that already came with a non-stick surface. After some post-purchase regret googling I found a couple from Krampouz ('Kemper' and 'Billig' from their consumer line) but I haven't found any sellers in North America yet.

Update: after some more seasoning (and a tip from a Krampouz how-to-season video) I got a mostly non-stick surface (when brushing with butter or oil right before pouring the batter on, as usual). I've now made some decent crepes on this thing. The Krampouz tip is as follows: if your crepes are sticking, preheat griddle to ~400F, mix 1 tbl oil with 1 egg yolk, then brush mixture onto the griddle with a paper towel. Wipe it all over the grill, then use a fresh paper towel and wipe off the egg.

Final note I bought this unit from another e-tailer (for US$250 + shipping). Do some googling to find the lowest price if you want to buy one.

Honest reviews on Waring Commercial WSC160 Heavy-Duty Commercial Electric Crepe

Coming from Brittany France, used to work with the Rolls Royce of CRepe Maker (Krampouz), i bought this one for a family usage. It's pretty good and very close to pro appliances. You have to initiate it very well and it has to run always at max power with a 110V outlet. But it's ok. Question: how long it will last. (the krampouz 110v family appliance did not)

We purchased this for use in a restaurant and found that it does not work as well as more expensive crepe makers but for the money it can work if the demand is not too great.
