Oster SH12 12-Inch Skillet with Hinged Lid, Black

I received this as a gift to replace my well used West Bend skillet, which kept me going for about 6 years.What had drawn me to the Oster was that it had a tempered glass lid that you could remove or leave hinged and ready to cover your item when needed.

So far I have made pancakes and scrambled eggs in my new skillet and I love it!The non-stick coating allowed items to come off the pan easily and it was a breeze to clean.I also love the glass lid, so I can see the food without having to lift the lid.On the warm setting I was able to keep the eggs ready to eat and warm when breakfast was slightly delayed.There are no vent holes, but this was not a huge deal to me.

If you would like a good, all-around electric skilletthis one is a good price of good quality.

I would definitely recommend.

I have to change my review on this product. The design was delightful, but sadly, the lack of quality betrayed the design.

One drawback is that the heating element (as you can see on the bottom of the pan) is one circle around the outside of the pan. You definitely have to stir to make sure the contents cook evenly. But the thermostat shuts off when it reaches the desired temperature, then turns on again when the temp drops.

Worst of all is a problem I see reflected in other reviews here -the thermostat just breaks, early into the product's life. I wondered why I could never take it beyond the "warming" part of the dial -never even into the numbered part. Effectively, it had only one heat setting -High. The thermostat just didn't work, didn't regulate, and everything would boil, with the dial set on "warm".

It got so bad, that the coating on the pan started to boil and bubble, and pieces of the Teflon (or whatever) actually came off into my food!

I loved the design, and it worked great the first couple of times I used it. But then it was useless, and even dangerous, because of bubbling off the nonstick coating into my food.

I bought this pan for my elderly Mother who for reasons related to her personal health and saftety, can no longer use the oven. She had used her former electric skillet for over 30 years and it really needed replacing.

She is delighed with this pan and finds she can prepare steaks, chops, bacon and eggs and french toast all with equal ease.

The cooking is even and the temperature is "true".

The non-stick interior is an added bonus and an improvement over her former electric skillet which is no longer manufactured.

I only had this for a couple months.I had the same problem reported earlier with the short cord, but it didn't bother me too much.I did like the skillet at first.What does bother me is that the skillet is already shot.The nonstick surface is very thin and chipped, even with plastic utensils.The food started burning on any temp.Then the skillet got so hot that the nonstick surface burned and bubbled in a perfect circle over the heating element.I guess the thermostat went out.The skillet wasn't expensive, and I expected to have to replace it in the future, but these problems are beyond normal wear.

I am really pleased with this purchase. Have never owned an electric skillet before and am amazed at how easy it is to use and clean. I guess I'll just throw away the old range top and go with this from now on. My needs for cooking are really simple and between this and my coffeemaker and microwave I am really on top of things. Well...almost.
