Farberware FS12B 12-by-12-Inch Nonstick Electric Skillet

My wife is the primary user of this electric skillet, and this is what she tells me:

The thick, heavy metal makes this skillet appear substantial, and that's a plus.The fact that the skillet can be completely immersed for washing is another good point, and she likes the quality of the non-stick surface.But...

The electrical connector is very hard to plug and unplug from the skillet.It's definitely a two-hand operation to unplug, and that can be problematic or even dangerous when the skillet contains hot cooking oil.Also, the temperature control seems to be either off or on, but not really adjustable.In addition, the lid does not fit securely on the skillet.It is too easy to just bump the lid and make it slide off the skillet.

Bottom line:Some good points, some bad.The skillet fries well, but has some fairly serious convenience issues.

Thinking of the Farberware brand name I ordered this skillet without reading the reviews.Big mistake.Controller plugs into the back or front of the skillet...not under the side handles.Very difficult to use.It also, once plugged in, takes a gorilla to unplug.With the second use the non-stick coating begin to "frost up" over the circular heating coil and now food sticks to this round area.It would have paid to read the reviews...this skillet is next to worthless and it's annoying!

We were very impressed with the heat which was far superior to our previous skillet.We should have bought this skillet sooner instead of turning our old one on to 450 degrees for pancakes whereas this new one only required a setting of 325 to 350.

I have Farberware products and they are good quality. But, this is a big let down!!! Poor casting and the anti-stick stuff wore off fast! It is heavy and the plug is tight. I will be throwing it away much sooner than the cheap Chinese ones I have been using. I would not suggest getting this!

I had a great fry pan for years that accidentally got melted in the oven (don't ask) and I needed to replace it and thought Farberware would be a good choice as I normally like their cookware.This fry pan, however, I do not like at all: the surface heats very unevenly, even though it is a square, and you have to constantly shift the food around to make sure to get all sides cooked.The heating element also turns itself off and forces you to push the temperature dial up to restart it and then the heat is too high.Would not recommend this, I am going to try another brand.
