I am quite disappointed with this spreader. The spreader portion is detachable and loosens up a lot resulting in badly done crepes. One time I was spreading and it fell off. I tried to tighten it, but would not tighten. Since the spreader is thin, I did not want to use a mallet to make it stay for fear that it will break, besides it will come off again. I am just glad the crepe maker I bought had its own spreader, which I have now been using instead. I wanted to return this; however, I do not want to pay for shipping. This spreader costs $15.00 and would cost $9.00 to ship (amount I paid for shipping when I purchased) so it had cost me $24 already; so probably not worth returning. Maybe if I glue the spreader to the handle, then I can use it someday? Oh well...buyers beware.
