...you realize that the "X5" isn't a model number, unless you plan on wearing this out quickly or you have four friends that you need odd stocking stuffers for, because otherwise you'll be annoyed to find out it means "times five". I only needed one. Otherwise, it's a decent enough product...nothing fancy, just functional and durable.

I gave this a neutral rating (because you have to give one) but this is a comment, not a review of the product. I have been living in Russia for the past 7 years for work; they have blini's here which is the same thing as a crepe (as far as I'm concerned). Anyway, I have never seen them (Russian's) make blini's (crepes) with a tool like this. They have fast food type places here that sell blini's and you see them making them out in the open. They have them in the malls, and even little huts on the street; so I see this almost every day. Anyway, the tool they use to form the blini is similar to this, but rather than the front end being flat, it's round (like the handle of this one, only a little larger in diameter). My intuition tells me that the design shown here would cause the batter to pile up on the flat side (maybe even roll over the top, creating a mess); the round ones help to redistribute the batter (I think). I'm sure the design shown here can work but I it probably takes more practice than the round ones. You can find one like I have described on Amazon if you search using the word "Blini", but the seller wants like $9 bucks for it plus $4 for shipping (not Prime eligible)... pretty steep for a couple pieces of dowel rod stuck together.Best Deals for Paderno World Cuisine 7 Inch T-Shaped Wood X5 T Crepe Spreader
Reading the reviews I see that there are mixed feelings about this crepe stick; some love it, some couldn't get it to work, one person hasn't used it but doesn't think it would work. As a pastry chef, I have worked a crepe station every day for a good year now, always with the T shaped spreader. Got decent results, pretty good results. One day the manager gets this other kind of stick. Huh. It dragged in the batter, made a mess...I didn't care for it but didn't want it to get the best of me. So I went on YouTube, and saw all these people using this product to make bigger, badder crepes than I was able to make with my old T stick. So I gave it another chance. With an hours practice, my crepes were better than ever! Bigger rounder thinner, more uniform in thickness--all this with the same quantity of batter. Better quality. You have to hold it at a different angle, and you have to move it a little faster, but the results are worth it!! I think it's worth the higher price and I hope they sell it in a metal version.

total waste of money. very difficult to maneuver to make an evenly spread crepe. When I purchased my crepe maker, a T shaped spreader came with it, and that one is much easier to use.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Paderno World Cuisine 7 Inch T-Shaped Wood X5 T Crepe Spreader
I bought this thinking that it would be ok for a 10" crepe pan but I didn't bother looking at the size first. I ended up having to cut them to fit my pan. Works great and long handle makes for easier wrist movement.
