The TEFAL Simplicity B5821002 Pancake Pan 25 cm Non-Stick is a specialized piece of cookware designed specifically for preparing delicious crepes, blinis, and pancakes at home. Featuring a 25 cm diameter and a low rim, this pan allows for easy flipping and sliding of delicate batters. Built with everyday cooking in mind, it combines reliable heat distribution with user-friendly features to support both novice and experienced home cooks in achieving consistent results.

Advantages

This pancake pan incorporates a durable non-stick coating that ensures food releases smoothly from the surface without tearing or sticking. This coating also reduces the need for excessive butter or oil, supporting lower-fat cooking methods. Cleaning the pan after use is straightforward thanks to the non-stick properties, saving time during kitchen clean-up. The balanced construction provides stable contact with standard cooktops, while the ergonomic handle ensures a secure and comfortable grip during cooking and serving.

Suitable for

• Making thin French crepes and traditional breakfast pancakes
• Cooking golden-brown blinis and potato latkes
• Frying eggs with minimal oil for breakfast
• Preparing soft flour tortillas or flatbreads quickly

When it may not be suitable

This pan is not designed for deep-frying, boiling liquids, or preparing large multi-portion meals due to its shallow rim and specific 25 cm diameter. It is also not compatible with induction cooktops if the specific sub-model variant lacks an induction-ready base, so users should verify their heat source compatibility beforehand.

• Diameter: 25 cm
• Coating: Non-stick

How to use

Before first use, wipe the pan clean and apply a thin layer of oil to condition the non-stick surface. Place the pan on a compatible heat source and preheat it gently on low to medium heat. Pour a measured amount of pancake batter into the center and swirl to spread it evenly across the 25 cm surface. Cook until the edges begin to lift and bubbles form, then use a wooden or plastic spatula to flip the pancake and cook the other side until lightly browned. Avoid using metal utensils or abrasive scouring pads to protect the integrity of the non-stick coating.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your stovetop type matches the base compatibility of the pan
• Consider the 25 cm size to ensure it fits your storage space and portion requirements
• Note that non-stick pans require non-metal utensils to prevent scratching
