Product Description
The Roller Grill CDE 400 is a double-plate electric crepe machine built for consistent, repeatable results in a commercial service environment. With two independent cooking plates operating simultaneously, it allows operators to maintain a steady output of crepes without the bottleneck of a single-plate unit — a practical advantage when footfall is high and turnaround needs to be tight.
In busy service conditions, the twin-plate layout means one plate can be in use while the other is being loaded or dressed, keeping the workflow moving during peak periods. The plates are designed to distribute heat evenly, which is important for achieving consistent colour and texture across batches — something that matters particularly in front-of-house or live cooking settings where presentation is visible to customers.
From an operational standpoint, the CDE 400 offers several practical advantages:
- Twin plates allow concurrent cooking, reducing wait times during busy service
- Even heat distribution supports consistent results across large batch volumes
- Electric operation removes the need for a gas supply or gas safety certification on site
- Compact and mobile enough to suit market stalls, event catering, and fixed countertop positions
- Straightforward plate surfaces that are practical to clean down between service periods
As an electric unit, installation is straightforward — no gas connection is required, which makes it suitable for venues where gas infrastructure is absent or restricted. It is worth confirming the available socket type and circuit capacity at your location before ordering, as commercial plate equipment of this kind typically draws a meaningful load. The machine is designed for countertop use and is compact enough to work within limited prep or service space, though adequate ventilation around the unit during operation is advisable.
The CDE 400 is well suited to crêperies, dessert cafés, food-to-go counters, and event catering operations where crepes form part of a regular or high-volume menu offer. It is also commonly used in hospitality settings such as hotel breakfast operations. For very high-throughput sites running crepes as a primary product, it is worth discussing whether a heavier-duty or higher-capacity alternative from the range would be a better fit for your volumes.
If you are unsure whether this model matches your expected service volumes or site setup, our team is happy to talk it through with you before you commit.

Frequently Asked Questions
- The double-plate layout makes it a practical choice for moderate to busy service volumes, as both plates can be used concurrently to maintain throughput. For very high-volume operations where crepes are the primary product and demand is near-constant, it is worth speaking with us to assess whether a heavier-duty model would serve you better over the long term.
- The CDE 400 is an electric unit, so no gas supply or gas safety certification is needed. You will need to confirm that the available socket and circuit at your site can support the machine's load — if you are unsure, your electrician or our team can advise based on your setup. The unit is countertop-mounted and should have adequate ventilation around it during use.
- Yes, it is commonly used in visible service positions such as dessert counters, hotel breakfast stations, and event catering setups where customers can see the cooking process. The even heat distribution helps produce consistent results that hold up well under that kind of scrutiny. Bear in mind that any live cooking position will need suitable extraction or ventilation in place.
