NEW 12" Electric Skillet/Fryer (Kitchen & Housewares)

Of the several electric skillets I use regularly, this is the least versatile. The heating is very spotty, with areas in the center and along the outer edges much cooler than those in direct contact with the heating element, resulting in uneven browning.It is not good at all for extended frying, unless you like soggy, greasy food. The thermostat doesn't sustain temps--when the set temperature is reached, the thermostat shuts down the heat, and food just sits there soaking up grease until the thermostat decides to come on again. Even simmering sauces is iffy with this skillet, since foods tend to stick directly above the heating element, even at lowest settings. I give it one star at most.

This product just arrived.I've used it once.

It's SHALLOW, so you wont want to do much in the way of pan sauce or serious deglazing or gravies in it... but it's big enough for four boneless chops or chicken breasts... makes a beautiful omlette....(what I used it for this morning)

and it gets HOT HOT FAST FAST... becareful... I sprayed my pan, and before I could crack my egg, the spray was scortched.not use to that speed in the heating up dept. and it's LIGHT with a good heavy QUALITY glass lid.

This purchase was for a light duty backup for extra side dishes.Would not use such a poorly controlled cooking surface for anything other than keeping water warm and then it would probably boil dry one time and fail to heat at all the next.No reliable heat control evident no matter what the heat selector dial setting is.Is now relegated to the 'learned one there' pile of rejects.In short, it looks very nice, good finish, lid doesn't fit all that well though and the temperature control is a deal breaker.It's not worth Amazon tarnishing their image with this item.

The depth of the cooking surface area is too small compare to the overall actual size of the skillet. Also, it does not get hot uniformly. The skillet outer most material and handles are not sturdy. I bought two of them for me and a friend and I already gave away mine. I would neither buy it again nor recommend to anyone to buy it.

Most inexpensive skillets are good for a year or two.

This one lasted less than a month.

The weight of the metal the pan is made from is so light that it warped with a few uses.

Hardly any heat spread at all.

Non stick liner didn't last the month either.

Is a very nice looking unit.Just made substandard.

Pay a couple dollars more for a better known brand.
