Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
"The Crêpe Escape," a busy seafront kiosk in Brighton, needed to speed up service during the tourist season without compromising on the quality of their signature crepes. Their old, mismatched tools were proving inconsistent and slowed down the team.
"We switched to the Krampouz spreaders and the difference was immediate. The staff find them so much easier to use, and our crepes are consistently perfect, even during the summer rush. They just glide."
Ben Carter – Owner
The change resulted in a measurable improvement: they reduced batter wastage by around 15% and now serve customers approximately 20% faster during peak hours.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Before its first use, give the spreader a gentle wash in warm, soapy water.
- Rinse it thoroughly under running water to remove any soap residue.
- Allow it to air dry completely before you start making crepes.
- Important: Never put this wooden tool in a dishwasher as the intense heat can cause it to warp or crack.
Keeping It Going
- Between making each crepe, rest the spreader in a dedicated tray of cold water to prevent batter from sticking.
- Regularly wipe any dried batter from the rounded end to ensure a smooth spread.
- After you've finished for the day, wash it by hand and dry it straight away with a clean cloth.
- To ensure a long life, avoid leaving it to soak for extended periods.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this suitable for a home kitchen as well as a commercial one?
A: Absolutely. While it's built to professional standards, it's the perfect tool for any home chef who wants to make authentic, cafe-quality crepes.
Q: Will this scratch my non-stick crepe maker?
A: No, the smooth beech wood is very gentle and is designed to be used on all types of crepe griddle surfaces, including non-stick, without causing scratches.
Q: What size crepe maker is the ART18 spreader designed for?
A: This 18cm spreader is optimised for professional crepe makers with a cooking surface diameter of 35cm or 40cm.
Q: How do I stop batter sticking to the wood?
A: The professional trick is to keep it resting in a tray of cold water in between making each crepe. This prevents the batter from drying on and sticking.
Q: Can I put this in the dishwasher?
A: We strongly advise against it. Being a natural wood product, it should only be washed by hand to prevent it from warping, splitting, or cracking over time.
Q: What makes this different from just using a spatula?
A: This tool is specifically designed with a 'T' shape and a long, round edge to spread thin, liquid batter into a perfect circle, a task a standard spatula isn't shaped for.
Q: How heavy is it to use?
A: It's incredibly light, weighing only 40g. This makes it very easy to handle for long periods during a busy service without causing any strain.
Q: Is the spreader made from a single piece of wood?
A: Yes, it is crafted from solid beech wood for maximum strength and durability, ensuring it can handle the demands of a commercial kitchen.
The Krampouz Difference: More Than Just an Accessory
In the world of professional crepe making, Krampouz isn't just a brand; it's the benchmark for quality and authenticity.

A perfect crepe every time means less batter wastage, faster service, and happier customers who come back again and again. It’s the small, authentic details like this that elevate a food business from average to excellent, proving that you've invested in quality from the griddle right down to the tools. This isn't just built to work; it’s engineered to perform reliably under pressure, service after service.
Explore more from KrampouzWhy Beech Wood is the Chef's Choice for Crepe Making
Ever wondered why the pros stick with wood? It's not just for looks. Beech is a hard, durable wood with a tight grain, which means it's less likely to splinter and won't impart any unwanted flavours into your delicate crepes. Its natural texture has just enough 'grip' on the batter to spread it, but it's smooth enough to glide without tearing. Think of it like a professional painter's brush versus a cheap one from a DIY shop. Both can apply paint, but only the right one gives you the finesse and control for a masterpiece. This wooden batter spreader for crepes is your brush for creating that perfect, wafer-thin canvas every time.
