The Allesken 24 cm crepe frying pan by Mondex with Pfluon nonstick coating is a shallow, flat-bottomed pan designed for preparing pancakes, crepes and thin omelettes on a stovetop. Its 24 cm diameter provides a cooking surface that balances batter coverage and easy maneuvering, while the nonstick coating reduces sticking and simplifies cleaning. The pan is intended for everyday domestic use and is suitable for low to medium heat cooking where quick release of delicate batter is important.
Advantages
The Pfluon nonstick coating allows batter and eggs to release easily, reducing the need for excessive fat when cooking. The shallow profile and even heat distribution help achieve thin, evenly cooked crepes and pancakes. Its 24 cm size is compact yet practical for single-serve or small-batch preparation, and the smooth surface makes rinsing and wiping straightforward after use.
Suitable for
- Making thin crepes and pancakes
- Cooking delicate omelettes and egg dishes
- Everyday stovetop use on gas, electric or ceramic hobs (subject to hob compatibility)
- Quick single-portion recipes and small-batch breakfast preparation
When it may not be suitable
This pan is shallow and designed specifically for thin batter items; it is not intended for deep frying, large-volume stews, or dishes that require high-sided cookware. Intensive use at very high temperatures or use with metal utensils may reduce the lifespan of the nonstick coating.
Key specifications
- Cooking surface diameter: 24 cm
- Profile: shallow, flat-bottomed design for crepes and pancakes
- Interior finish: Pfluon nonstick coating for easy release and cleaning
- Suitable heat range: low to medium stovetop cooking
- Intended use: pancakes, crepes, thin omelettes and similar batter-based dishes
How to use
Preheat the pan gently over low to medium heat, then add a small amount of oil or butter if desired. Pour or spread batter evenly across the flat surface and cook until edges set and surface is lightly browned, then flip or fold as required. Clean the pan after cooling by wiping with a soft sponge and warm soapy water; avoid abrasive cleaners or metal scouring pads to preserve the nonstick coating.
What to consider before purchase
- Intended use: best suited for thin batter items rather than deep or high-volume cooking
- Hob compatibility: check that the pan’s base is suitable for your stovetop type (gas, electric, ceramic)
- Care requirements: nonstick coatings require gentle cleaning and should not be used with metal utensils
Usage recommendations
To extend the life of the Pfluon nonstick surface, use silicone, nylon or wooden utensils, avoid cooking on maximum heat for prolonged periods, and store the pan without stacking heavy pots inside. Regular gentle cleaning after each use preserves release performance and simplifies future cooking.
