Product Description
The Sammic CE-135 is a countertop electric crepe and pancake machine built for commercial use. It features a cast iron cooking plate with a treated non-stick surface and spiral heating elements beneath, designed to deliver consistent, even heat across the entire cooking area. The result is reliable, repeatable output with minimal operator skill required once the working temperature is established.
In service, the cast iron plate performs well because of its heat retention characteristics. Once up to temperature, it holds its heat during a run of orders rather than dropping between batches, which is particularly useful at a live-cooking station where maintaining consistent results matters. It handles crepes, pancakes, blinis, chapattis, and similar thin flatbreads comfortably — any preparation that calls for a flat, evenly heated surface.
From a day-to-day operational standpoint, the CE-135 offers several practical advantages:
- Cast iron plate provides stable heat distribution and good retention between batches
- Non-stick surface reduces reliance on cooking fat and simplifies cleaning after service
- Compact countertop footprint is straightforward to position within most service layouts
- Simple temperature control keeps training requirements low for front-of-house or live-cooking use
- Versatile across crepes, pancakes, blinis, and other thin flatbreads
Installation is uncomplicated — the unit is countertop-mounted and requires a suitable electrical supply at the counter position. Ensure the surface is stable and level, and that adequate ventilation exists above the plate, particularly during extended service periods or in confined spaces. It is worth noting that this is a single-plate machine suited to moderate service volumes; it is not designed for continuous high-throughput production environments where a twin-plate or larger unit would be more appropriate.
The CE-135 is well suited to cafés, crêperies, hotel breakfast stations, events caterers, and operations looking to introduce live pancake or crepe cooking without significant infrastructure investment. For sites with higher output demands or limited counter space requiring a different configuration, it is worth considering whether a higher-capacity alternative within the range would be a better fit.
If you are weighing up whether this model suits your service volumes or counter setup, the team is glad to talk it through with you before you commit.

Frequently Asked Questions
- The CE-135 performs well for moderate, consistent output and is commonly used in cafés and crêperies where orders come through steadily rather than in very high volume. The cast iron plate holds its temperature well during a run, but as a single-plate unit it does have throughput limits — if you are expecting continuous back-to-back demand at pace, a twin-plate or higher-output machine would be worth considering.
- The unit is countertop-mounted and connects to a standard electrical supply, so installation is generally straightforward. You will need a stable, level counter surface and adequate ventilation above the cooking area — this is particularly important if the machine will be running for extended periods or positioned in a confined space.
- The treated non-stick surface on the cast iron plate makes cleaning relatively straightforward — residue lifts without the need for abrasive treatment, and the reduced reliance on cooking fat keeps build-up to a minimum. Cast iron plates do benefit from appropriate care to maintain the surface condition over time, so following the manufacturer's cleaning guidance is advisable.
