How to use
To use the Zilner ZL-2407, place the pan on a burner set to medium heat and allow it to preheat for a few minutes. Once the pan is warm, lightly grease the surface with a small amount of oil or butter. Pour a small amount of batter into the center and quickly tilt or rotate the pan to spread the batter into a thin, even layer. Cook until the edges begin to lift and the bottom is golden, then carefully flip the crepe using a spatula to cook the other side briefly.
