Product Description
The Sammic CE-235 is a countertop electric crepe machine fitted with two cast iron cooking plates. It is designed for consistent, repeatable results when producing crepes, pancakes, blinis, chapattis and similar thin, flat foods in a commercial setting. The twin-plate configuration means two portions can be prepared simultaneously, which makes a practical difference during busy service periods without requiring significant additional counter space.
Cast iron retains and distributes heat evenly across the cooking surface, which helps avoid hot spots and supports consistent results across a full service. The plates are treated to provide a non-stick surface, reducing the amount of fat required during cooking and making it easier to turn and release the product cleanly. Because the heat is conducted directly through the plate, recovery between portions is reasonably prompt under continuous use.
From an operational standpoint, the CE-235 suits a range of service styles. Its key practical advantages include:
- Twin plates allow simultaneous preparation, improving throughput during peak periods
- Cast iron construction provides even heat distribution and good plate-to-plate consistency
- Non-stick treated surface reduces fat usage and aids product release
- Countertop format keeps it accessible for front-of-house theatre cooking or back-of-house stations
- Straightforward controls mean minimal staff training is required
Being countertop and self-contained, the CE-235 requires only a suitable electrical supply and adequate ventilation in the working area. It is not a high-output industrial unit, so operators running very high-volume dedicated crepe services — such as market stalls or high-footfall food courts — should consider whether a larger or more robust solution would better meet their throughput requirements. For cafés, restaurant dessert menus, hotel breakfast operations and occasional live cooking stations, it is a well-proportioned choice.
If you are weighing up whether this unit matches your service volume or how it fits alongside your existing setup, our team is happy to talk it through before you commit.

Frequently Asked Questions
- The CE-235 is well suited to steady, continuous use in café or restaurant environments where crepes or pancakes form part of a wider menu. It handles back-to-back portions reliably in that context. If crepes are the primary or sole product across a very high-footfall service — such as a dedicated crêperie with constant demand — a higher-capacity unit with more plates would be worth considering.
- The CE-235 is a countertop electric unit, so it requires a suitable mains electrical connection in line with its rated supply — confirm the required socket type and voltage with your electrician before installation. It should be positioned with adequate clearance around and above the plates for ventilation and safe operation. No gas or water connection is needed.
- Yes — the flat cast iron plates are suitable for other thin, flat foods including blinis, chapattis and similar products that benefit from direct contact cooking on an even heat surface. It is not designed for grilling thicker items, so its practical range is limited to foods that cook well on a flat, dry plate.
