Proper crumpets need proper rings: 9cm across, 3cm deep, and heavy enough to sit flush on the pan so the batter climbs instead of leaking. Ours are made in England from carbon steel with a PFOA-free non-stick coating, and they earn their keep well beyond crumpets: fried eggs, English muffins, and drop scones all come out the same tidy round.
The set of four suits a couple's breakfast and smaller pans; the set of six fills a big frying pan or a griddle for a family batch. Plenty of kitchens run both, because crumpets freeze well and a double batch takes hardly any longer. If you're weighing the rings against a cheap handled egg ring, our egg rings vs crumpet rings guide gives you the honest comparison, including the one thing an egg ring can't do.
The classic crumpet holes come from a loose, well-rested batter hitting a moderately hot, lightly oiled pan inside the ring. Fill about halfway, wait for the top to set and the holes to open, then lift the ring with tongs and flip for a minute. The full method is in our crumpet rings guide, and how to use crumpet rings like a pro covers everything else the rings will do. Still deciding whether crumpets deserve the effort? Crumpets vs English muffins settles it.
9cm across and 3cm deep. That's the standard for a generous, thick crumpet, and 9cm also happens to be the diameter of an English muffin, which is why the same rings do breakfast-muffin eggs so well.
Yes. The crumpet rings are the one product in our range made in England, from carbon steel, and they carry the same 10-year guarantee as everything else we sell.
Yes. They sit flat in a pan for crumpets and eggs on the hob, and they're oven safe for baking jobs like shaping small rosti or neat baked eggs.
Yes, a PFOA-free non-stick coating. Brush a little oil inside for the first few uses while it settles in; after that, crumpets and eggs release cleanly. Hand washing keeps it at its best, per the care and use guide.
