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 items in a commercial setting. The twin-plate layout means two portions can be prepared at the same time, which makes a practical difference during busy service without requiring a significant footprint on the counter.
Cast iron is the material of choice for this type of cooking because it retains heat well and distributes it evenly across the plate surface. This helps avoid the hot spots that can cause inconsistent browning, and it supports reliable results across a full service rather than just the first few portions. The treated non-stick surface reduces the amount of fat needed during cooking and allows the product to release cleanly, which helps with both presentation and the pace of service. Recovery between portions is reasonably prompt under continuous use, which matters when demand comes in bursts.
In practical terms, the CE-235 offers a number of operational advantages:
- Twin plates allow two portions to cook simultaneously, improving throughput at peak times
- Cast iron construction delivers even heat distribution and consistent results plate to plate
- Non-stick treated surface reduces fat usage and supports clean product release
- Countertop format suits both front-of-house theatre cooking and back-of-house prep stations
- Straightforward controls keep staff training requirements to a minimum
The CE-235 is a self-contained countertop unit and requires only a suitable electrical supply and reasonable ventilation in the working area. It is not designed for very high-volume dedicated crepe operations — busy food courts or high-footfall market-style service 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.

Frequently Asked Questions
- The CE-235 is well suited to moderate-volume operations such as café service, hotel breakfast and restaurant dessert menus. For very high-footfall or continuous-production environments, a heavier-duty unit with greater plate capacity or a more robust construction may be a more appropriate choice. If you are unsure where your volume sits, it is worth discussing your service pattern with us before ordering.
- The CE-235 is a self-contained countertop unit and does not require specialist installation — it simply needs a suitable electrical supply and adequate ventilation in the working area. As with any cooking equipment generating steam and vapour, positioning it within or adjacent to an appropriate ventilation zone is advisable.
- Yes — the cast iron plates are well suited to a range of thin, flat products including pancakes, blinis and chapattis. The even heat retention of cast iron makes it practical for any product that benefits from consistent direct-contact cooking, provided portion size is compatible with the plate dimensions.
