Product Description
The Sammic CE-235 is a countertop electric crepe machine fitted with two cast iron cooking plates. It is designed to produce consistent, repeatable results across a range of thin, flat items — crepes, pancakes, blinis and chapattis among them — in a commercial setting. The twin-plate layout allows two portions to be prepared at the same time, which makes a meaningful difference during busy service without demanding significant counter space.
Cast iron is well suited to this style of cooking because it retains and distributes heat evenly across the plate surface. That consistency helps avoid the uneven browning that can occur with lighter materials, and it supports reliable results throughout an entire service rather than only the first few portions of the day. The treated non-stick surface reduces the amount of fat required and allows the product to release cleanly, which helps both presentation and the pace at which staff can work. Recovery between portions is reasonably prompt under continuous use, which matters when orders arrive in clusters.
In practical terms, the CE-235 offers several operational advantages worth noting:
- Twin plates allow two portions to cook simultaneously, improving throughput at peak times
- Cast iron construction delivers even heat distribution and consistent results across both plates
- Non-stick treated surface reduces fat usage and supports clean product release
- Countertop format suits front-of-house theatre cooking and back-of-house prep stations equally
- Straightforward controls keep the demands on staff training to a minimum
The CE-235 is a self-contained unit requiring only a suitable electrical supply and adequate ventilation in the working area. It is not designed for very high-volume dedicated crepe operations — a high-footfall food court or fast-paced market-style concession may find a heavier-duty unit more appropriate. For cafés, hotel breakfast operations, restaurant dessert menus and occasional live cooking stations, it is a well-proportioned and practical choice.
If you are unsure whether this unit matches your service volume or kitchen layout, our team is happy to talk it through before you commit.

Frequently Asked Questions
- The CE-235 is well suited to moderate-volume service — cafés, hotel breakfast stations, dessert menus and occasional live cooking. For operations where crepes are the primary menu item and throughput is consistently high, a heavier-duty dedicated unit with larger or additional plates is likely to be a better fit. It is worth discussing your expected covers before deciding.
- The CE-235 is a self-contained countertop unit requiring only a compatible electrical supply and reasonable ventilation in the surrounding work area. There are no gas, water or specialist extraction connections required, which keeps installation straightforward. Always confirm the electrical supply specification is correct for the unit before installation.
- Yes — the cast iron plates are suitable for a range of thin, flat items including pancakes, blinis and chapattis. The even heat distribution and non-stick surface make it reasonably versatile for this style of cooking, provided the item thickness and cooking time are appropriate for a flat plate contact method.
