Frequently Asked Questions - Diabolo KRAMPOUZ

How do I use the Krampouz Diabolo for the first time?

Before first use, wash the cooking surface with warm soapy water, rinse, and dry thoroughly. Then season the plate by applying a thin layer of vegetable oil and heating the griddle for 10 minutes at medium temperature. Wipe off excess oil and let it cool.

What is the ideal temperature for making crepes?

For crepes, set the thermostat to around 200°C (392°F). For thicker pancakes, lower to 180°C (356°F). Adjust based on your batter and preference.

How do I clean the Diabolo griddle?

Unplug and let the griddle cool completely. Wipe the surface with a damp cloth or paper towel. For stubborn residue, use a plastic scraper. Never immerse the griddle in water. Do not use abrasive cleaners.

Why is the surface not non-stick anymore?

The non-stick coating may wear over time. To prolong its life, always use wooden or plastic utensils and avoid metal scrapers. If the coating is damaged, the plate can be replaced.

Can I use metal utensils on the cooking plate?

This appliance is dedicated to a domestic use non intensive.

Wash the accessories before using them for the first time: with clear water for wooden accessories, with soapy water for other accessories (avoid using chlorine on stainless steel).

To ensure that the spreader (rozell) is safe for food contact, no glue is used in its construction. To fix the handle to the spreader, assemble both parts and immerse them in water for a few minutes.

This will allow the wood to swell and join the parts together.

Prepare the ingredients required depending on the type of crepe you want to make.

Place the appliance 20 cm away from any wall or any element sensitive to heat.

Unwind and connect the cable securely: firstly to the socket of the appliance and then to the mains socket. The indicator light will then go on.

Adjust the cooking temperature using the slider in accordance with the instructions given in the recipe book (for instance, for crepes and Breton crepes: position 5).

The light goes off when the appliance is ready to use (wait approximately 6 or 7 min.).

Before spreading the first pancake or before each pancake session, lightly grease the plate with sunflower oil. Warning, the ATE1 pad should not be used with this non-stick plate crepe maker.

Between each pancake, clean the baking residue plate without adding oil.

Important:

The temperatures are given for information purposes only. You can change them to suit your requirements.

In between each crepe, clean the spreader or rake with the brush provided for this purpose and leave these accessories soak in the tray of water.

The minimum adjustment of the thermostat will not stop the appliance from heating. At this adjustment, the hot plate is regulated at around 155° C. The appliance is only completely stopped when disconnected from the socket.

The spreader is only used between positions 1 and 6. Never leave it permanently on the hot plate (risk of damage).

The wooden rake must be used to spread the batter between positions 7 and 8.

Using

Recipes

WHEAT PANCAKES

For 20 crepes – Put 1 teaspoon of buckwheat flour (optional), 100 to 125 g of sugar, 1 teaspoon of salt, 2 eggs, 25 g of melted unsalted butter or 1 tablespoon canola, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 10 cl of water in a bowl. Stir it all and add gradually 250 g of wheat flour and 12 cl low-fat milk until to obtain a fully smooth without lumps. Gradually add a further half litre of milk stirring all the time. Add progressively 38 cl of milk.

BUCKWHEAT CREPES

For 15 crepes - Put 250 g of buckwheat flour, 1 dessert spoon of wheat flour, 1 teaspoon of coarse salt, 1 egg and 12 cl of water. Stir to form a compact ball. Add 12 cl of semi-skilled milk, stir in then beat for approximately 5 min to obtain a fully smooth batter. Gradually add 36 cl of milk.

Cooking

Using the spreader:

1. Connect your crepe maker and position the thermostat slider at the desired temperature. Wait for the light to go out (the thermostat automatically controls the heat throughout the use), then lightly grease the hot plate and its guide groove with sunflower oil. Check the spreader is clean and let it soak in the water tray.

2. With one hand, fill the ladle right to the top. With the other, place the spreader facing towards you in the groove of the hot plate

3. Pour the whole ladle of batter into the spreader in one go without trying to spread it out inside it and immediately turn it clockwise. The first turn must be made in 2/3 seconds. Continue to rotate gently until the remaining batter in the spreader is spread out then put it back in the tray of water. You can also spread out this remaining batter with the wooden rake.

4. Leave the crepe to cook for approximately 10 to 15 seconds before turning it over. To do this, slide the crepe turner gently under the edge of the crepe, turn your wrist and lift up the crepe confidently, then turn it over onto the other side.

For crepes to be eaten cold, cook the other side only slightly.

For crepes to the filled, follow the instructions in the recipe book.

Between each pancake, clean the baking residue plate, without adding oil.

Clean the spreader with the brush and put it back in the water.

Tips

Always spread out the batter in a clockwise direction, never going backwards.

If required, apply gentle pressure to the spreader on the hot plate when rotating it.

Always make sure the batter has no lumps, sieve it if required.

To reheat crepes, use thermostat positions under 3.

Certain ready-made batters are not designed to be spread out with the spreader.

To ensure the coating of the hot plate has a long life expectancy, do not overgrease it and only use wooden or plastic accessories.

You are advised to keep the original packaging to store the appliance and its accessories.
