What is the benefit of using it than a crepe pan on a cooktop? I make pancake/crepe all the time on my gas stove, need a reason to get one more tool.

I use this for crepes only... I probably will try pancakes at some point. If you're happy with the crepes and pancakes that you get on the cooktop already I don't think you need an additional tool. I pour the batter onto the griddle and cheat with how I spread it out... I pick up the base of the griddle that is not hot and tilt side to side then i only use the crepe spreading tool for the finishing touches...

I love this crepe cooker because the heat is perfectly distributed on the entire top. It gives a little crisp edge every time. We spent time in France and this is as close as I have come to the way they do it.

Yes! I have used it to make pancakes. It seems to have hot spots though, as my pancakes didn't cook evenly. I may have been doing something wrong though, or maybe it's my stove; in any case they were delicious.

That makes more sense! I had a glass cooktop in my apartment, but when we moved into our house it had a gas stove and it made my day! My housewarming present to myself was this set, which is how I know they work well with gas. Sorry I can't be of more help with regard to how they work on the glass :( I personally think those things are the devil and will never have one again.

Watch your heat, because the pan does heat up fast & may need turned down as you go to prevent burning pancakes. I heat pan on medium, then reduce to low-medium to cook pancakes, otherwise they'll burn & not get done in center (can lift/check them for doneness on top & bottom).

Unfortunate we do not cook with gas, but if you can use cast iron on your stove I would not foresee any issues. It should be fine, the main issue, you want an even cooking surface so there is limited chance of burning. Cooking Tip: Long (or short) tooth picks work great when flipping the cakes.

I use this frequently on our gas stove top. The pan completely covers the gas flame--no threat at all to the wooden handle. For the person who complained that the "gear strips" and will not turn when the corn pops; reverse stirring direction for just a couple of turns to dislodge any stuck corn kernals and then continue stirring in the "regular" direction. Works for me.

I am looking for a non-stick skillet in the 12-inch range. I am all for the Earth friendly options, but most importantly, it must sit flat on a glass top range. The skillet that I am retiring is a Cooks Tools from Belk. It has served admirably for three years, but now the non-stick is breaking down. At this point, it is worthless for frying eggs and it is only going to get worse. I am statisfied with the Cook's Tools from Belk, three years for a non-stick pan that gets used on a daily basis is very good, but Cook's Tool doesn't seem to have a comparable pan in their current lineup. Does anyone know of a largish skillet with a lid that won't worp? Basically, I need some thing with a thick multiclad bottom.

Bar keepers friend for stainless steel. And, a nonstick pan for eggs next time. Remember, the right tool for the job works best.

I use mine on my gas stovetop whenever I make a gravy or sauce. Love this pan, never warps and cleans so easily.

Works great, if your used to cooking on a griddle. We've done burgers and "chicken on a stick", both we're great. The nonstick surface cleans easily and the well collects any grease/juice. It's fabulous for breakfast...pancakes are so easy. We love it, great addition to your camp stove.

I personally like the pan because it makes perfectly round pancakes. You can also cook 4 pancakes at once. So it cuts cooking time in half. I have also used it for grilled cheese sandwiches.

My favorite for an Aebleskiver pan is a gas stove, second is glass top. They work great together.

I only use it for eggs so it isn't on the burner long enough for it to get hot but I believe it would get hot if you made several crepes. Love this pan.

I have a gas stove. But it heats pretty evenly on mine. Good griddle pan. Just don't use high heat on it. Not necessary.

Practice and oil. Do not expect stainless steel cookware cook easily like nonstick . I can make good omelette, maybe 80% of time only. Have not tried crepes yet.

Yes, that's what I use it for most often. It heats quickly and evenly and the pancakes come out great. I even bought pans for my two kids who also use them for pancakes, among other things.
