Admetior 28cm Stainless Steel Skillet with removeable digital thermometer

I just received the smaller, 20cm version of this skillet as a gift and am delighted with it.Before, I was always burning butter, omelets, pancackes because the skillet would continue to warm up after I started cooking on my electric stove (yes, I always turn down the temp a little after I start cooking).It was just too hard to tell how hot the skillet was until the food started burning.No problem with this guy you can watch the skillet temperature rise and fall as you warm it up, add ingredients, or simmer.I'm ordering the 28cm version tonight.

The electronics use a standard AAA battery in the handle.The battery is easy to replace.I was a little worried about how heat might damage the battery, but found that as long as you put the skillet on a burner that's sized for the skillet (or smaller), the handle stays reasonably cool.Heat spreads very evenly across the bottom.

Pros: Very simple to use.Easy to remove the temperature module for washing, dishwasher safe, the display has large, easy to read numbers, the temperature sensor responds very quickly to changes in skillet temperature, the display tells you the ideal temperature for 11 common foods, an alarm will beep if the temperature gets too hot for what you're cooking, and the walls of the skillet are nice and high, and the skillet (remember, I have the 20cm version), while sturdy, is not too heavy.Clear instructions, although you hardly need them for basic operation. Lastly, because food isn't over-cooked, the skillet is easier to clean.

Cons: It would be nice to disable the over-temperature beeper if you know you will be watching the food cook.There was a clear piece of protective shipping plastic I didn't notice on the underside of the handle when I cooked the first time.It shriveled, but didn't burn or stick to the skillet or cause any damage, so just make sure you remove it when you unpack your skillet.
