WMF Devil 27 cm (10.6 in) with spreader review
A 27 cm (10.6 in) cast aluminum crêpe pan with WMF’s three-layer PermaDur coating, and — the reason to buy it — a matched batter spreader and wooden turner in the box.
What we would actually buy The complete answer in this hub: right pan, right tools, sized to each other.
What you are getting
A 27 cm (10.6 in) cast aluminum crêpe pan with WMF’s three-layer PermaDur nonstick, supplied with a batter spreader and a wooden turner.
Why the spreader matters
A crêpe is made by spreading a fixed quantity of batter across the whole surface in one motion. That needs a spreader roughly the pan’s radius, and buying one separately means matching it to the pan yourself. Here it arrives matched, which removes the commonest reason for torn first crêpes.
The body
Cast aluminum rather than pressed. It stores heat between crêpes, which matters because a thin pan drops in temperature every time cold batter arrives and the third crêpe cooks differently from the first.
The limits
Bakelite handle, no published temperature figure, and no base diameter. None of those matter much for crêpes; all three would matter if you wanted this pan to do anything else.

The questions that come in
Why does the included spreader matter?
A crêpe is made by spreading a fixed quantity of batter across the whole surface in one motion, and that needs a spreader sized to the pan. Buying one separately means matching it yourself.
What does cast aluminum change?
It stores heat between crêpes. A thin pressed pan drops in temperature every time cold batter arrives, so the third crêpe cooks differently from the first.
