Waffle makers cook thick, golden waffles with patterned plates. Crepe makers create thin, flat crepes on smooth heated surfaces.

Single plates suit small cafés. Double and stacked units maximise throughput for buffets, dessert stations, or food trucks.

Adjustable thermostats and indicator lights ensure consistent cooking and reduce errors during peak service.

Commercial-grade stainless steel and cast plates withstand daily high-volume use and provide even heat distribution.

Non-stick plates, drip trays, and smooth surfaces make cleaning fast, reducing downtime between shifts.

Waffle makers use moulded plates to create crispy, patterned waffles. Crepe makers use flat heated plates to spread thin, round crepes.

No — each requires a different plate style. Some brands sell interchangeable plate systems, but most are specialised.

Waffles typically take 3–5 minutes. Crepes cook in 1–2 minutes, depending on batter thickness and heat setting.

Compact single-plate crepe makers or slimline waffle irons save space while still delivering consistent results.
