The Benchstar DE-1E is a single-plate commercial crepe maker built for cafés, dessert bars, creperies, and event caterers that need consistent, high-turnover crepes without operator fuss. A 400 mm Teflon-coated baking plate sits on a stainless steel body with a spiral heating element for even heat across the full plate — so edges cook at the same rate as the centre, reducing waste and rework.
Why operators choose the DE-1E
- 400 mm × 15 mm non-stick plate — even heat distribution for consistent crepe release
- 30–300 °C temperature range — from delicate sweet crepes to fast-recovery savoury service
- Spiral heating element — more even heat than concentric or straight-element designs
- Stainless steel body with warming drawer — keeps finished crepes service-ready
- Wooden spreader + anti-slip feet included — ready to run on delivery

Frequently asked questions
Q: Does the DE-1E run on a standard Australian wall socket? A: The 3 kW rating sits right at the upper limit of a standard 10 A / 240 V socket. Most commercial venues plug it into a 15 A circuit for headroom. A licensed electrician can confirm the right outlet for your site.
Q: How large are the crepes it produces? A: The 400 mm (Φ 400) non-stick plate supports crepes up to roughly 38 cm diameter — standard commercial crepe size.
Q: Is the plate really non-stick? A: Yes — the plate is Teflon-coated. Use the supplied wooden spreader (or bamboo/silicone tools) to protect the coating; avoid metal scrapers.
Q: How long does it take to heat up? A: With the 3 kW spiral element, expect around 8–12 minutes from cold to 220 °C service temperature. Recovery between crepes is fast thanks to the 15 mm-thick plate holding heat.
Q: Is this for commercial or home use? A: Commercial. The DE-1E is rated for continuous back-of-house service — stainless steel body, heavy plate, industrial-grade heating element. Home crepe makers are not built for the duty cycle of a café or event setup.
Q: What's the warranty and delivery? A: 12-month return-to-base warranty. Delivered Australia-wide from our Granville NSW warehouse — parcel freight, usually 2–5 business days to metro areas.
