LPG Gas Crepe Machine
An LPG crepe machine is a gas-fired cast iron plate, usually 400mm across, that runs from a propane bottle, so you can cook crepes, galettes and pancakes from a van, trailer or market stall with no mains power. We stock single and double plate machines from Krampouz, Roller Grill and Infernus, from £189 to £1,409, all with flame-failure safety. Any LPG appliance must be connected and certified by a Gas Safe registered engineer before you trade.

LPG crepe machine questions
Which LPG crepe machine is best for mobile catering?
If crepes are your main trade at busy markets and events, the Krampouz PROP (£719): its 6kW burner recovers heat fastest between crepes. If crepes are a side line or you are just starting, the Roller Grill CFG 400 (£630) is thermostatic, has an enamelled plate that needs no seasoning and comes with a crepe kit.
How many crepes an hour can a crepe machine make?
A single 400mm plate makes around 60 crepes an hour at one minute per crepe. A double plate machine such as the Roller Grill CDG400 can push 80 or more, because you cook on one plate while spreading on the other.
How long does a 13kg propane bottle last on a crepe machine?
A 3.6kW machine like the CFG 400 uses about 0.26kg of propane an hour at full output, so a 13kg bottle lasts roughly 50 hours of cooking. The 6kW Krampouz PROP uses more but still gives 30+ hours, as the thermostat cycles the burner.
Does a crepe plate need seasoning?
Raw cast iron plates, such as the Krampouz, must be seasoned before first use: thin coats of sunflower oil heated on and wiped off, about 1.5 hours in total. Enamelled cast iron plates, such as the Roller Grill CFG 400, need no seasoning, just a light greasing between crepes.
Do I need a Gas Safe engineer to fit an LPG crepe machine?
Yes. Any LPG appliance used for trading must be connected by a Gas Safe registered engineer, and you will need a gas safety certificate for your trading licence. The Infernus single is supplied for natural gas with LPG jets in the box, and that conversion must also be fitted by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
