They can be versa­ tile as well as delicious and open a whole easy world of entertaining dining. Crepes arent Just a breakfast food or even just the main course in a delightfully different meal. They can also be the main appetizer and the dessert. In fact, crepes can pro­ vide a complete meal, ap­ petizer, main course and dessert and do it in many different international themes. And, crepes are a great way to dress up left­ overs! Electric crepe makers, through controlled, even heat, further simplify crepe making, but Sun­ beam suggests there are some points to look for in the unit you select. The handle and pan should be light and easy to dip in the batter and use. This can be especially important if you are pre­ paring more than one type of crepe for a number of people for a dinner. A Teflon-coated surface makes clean-up easy. The pan itself should be im- mersible for further ease of cleaning. Check the recipe book. Does it provide thorough use/care instructions and recipes for a wide variety of crepes? How about sug- ELECTRIC CREPE MAKERS are an easy way to make the crepes that have suddenly grown so popular. Sunbeam's M'sieur Crepe crepe maker also can be used as a mini-fry- pan for frying eggs or meat or sauteing vegetables. Con­ trolled even heat and a lightweight, casy-to-clean pan are key features of this new product. gestions for complete in­ ternational meals, includ­ ing the crepe appetizer, the main course and the dessert? Finally, a crepe maker that has more than one use is recommended. The cost of the unit plus the problems of storage space in the normal kitchen call for a unit that can do more than just make crepes. Sunbeam's M'sieur Crdpe crepe maker, for example, is both a crepe maker and a mini frypan for frying meats, eggs, making an omelet or for sauteing of vegetables. Both the crepe-making and frypan sides of the pan are double-coated with duPont Teflon II for easy clean-up. The base has thermostatically-con­ trolled settings for warm­ ing, frypan or crepe-mak­ ing use. Help for helpless, harried shopper! Are you still wondering what to give to some favor­ ite friend or relative for Christmas? Perhaps you're drawing a blank because you're only thinking in terms of objects. Think about experiences, as well, and it opens up a whole new world. In other words -- make a date to take them somewhere! For the sports fan, how about tickets to a baseball game next spring -- or a football, basketball, hock­ ey game in the more im­ mediate future. Theater buffs and cine­ ma fans would love tickets to a play or movie (for two, naturally). You might want to make these up yourself, to look like a gift certificate ("to the show of your choice") -- so that the lucky recipient can make a date with you at his convenience. For the gourmet, instead of the usual cookbook or gadget, try a written invi­ tation to dinner (on you) at a favorite restaurant. For the music fan, get tickets to a rock concert, opera, or symphony. When all else fails, con­ sider giving a subscription to a magazine on some sub ject of interest--sports, theater, fashion, hobbies, crafts, travel.
