I bought this as a birthday present for my wife, but wasn't expecting it to really perform any better than any other pan for making crepes. Blow me away, the blue steel finish took on seasoning beautifully and the high heat retention of the steel seared crepe batter beautifully. Recommendation follow the Cook's Illustrated crepe recipe; including instructions for 20 second sear test with a drop of batter for perfect results every time. Like any uncoated metal, the blue steel can rust if not properly seasoned so follow the same maintenance rules you must use with cast iron: never leave soaking in water; smear oil over it with paper towel after washing and heat til dry on burner or in oven to draw the oil into the metal. I've used this pan dozens of times with perfect results. In retrospect, looking at this thin little pan I find the results shocking. Center to edge heat distribution is superior to my All Clad pans when making crepes. Sear is better too. This pan is just ideal for crepes. Great value too.

After properly seasoning the pan it works like a charm. One of my favorites to use. Would take a whole set if they manufactured them.

This was an excellent buy. You can make a lot more in it besides crepes. It is perfect for basically any breakfast food. It comes to you as basically a big hunk of steel, covered in some oil that looked strange, so we wiped the oil throughly off in case it wasn't an oil we'd want to eat and seasoned it ourselves. It is important to season a pan like this properly right off the bat. If you don't know how, look it up online. I read this article right around the time I was seasoning the pan:

If you have never made crepes before, I suggest the first thing you make in this pan is a fried egg. Caution: this pan cooks QUICK. I was surprised at how fast I cooked my egg at medium heat. It was completely done in 30 seconds basically. This pan is basically like cauterizing your food, which is part of the beauty I think. My only complaint is that its not easy to flip stuff, so use a nice silicone or wooden spatula the first time to make sure you don't burn the thing you're cooking by accident trying to flip it.

Otherwise, enjoy the pan!

P.S. buy a cast iron pan handle mitt along with it or you will most certainly burn yourself.

This is a perfect crepe pan. I was initially going to get the smaller pan, but am happy that I went with this slightly larger one. Quick cleaning and seasoning and it was ready to go. The first crepe even came out perfectly.

I'm french and make crêpes very often. This pan works fine for me. I don't like the tefflon types, so the blue carbon steel is a better choice for me. It is heavy though and not absolutly flat. But the crêpes are good easy to make and cook fast and well evenly.
