Works great fast easy to clean cooks to perfection

I ordered this Skillet at a time when I was waiting for a stove replacement and rebuilding of my kitchen. It does everything as advertised. I love this product and would recommend it to my friends. I will be purchasing another one in the near future for a gift.

This is, basically, a 12 inch electric skillet that is a bit deeper than most. It has a mediocre nonstick finish (for the price I would expect granite type). The heating element is the usual circle (I had hoped for even heat across the bottom). As a result, food tends to catch and scorch in that circle. That is probably where the coating is most likely to fail, even with babying. I find the temperature rage to seem much higher than what displayed. A couple burned bottoms taught me that. If I had something to bake, I would cut it back 50-75 degrees, even using the little rack provided. You really have to play it by ear. I use it all the time, but constantly readjust the temp.

The first electric skillet I bought from Amazon used technology that is more than 65 years old. In fact it even looks very similar to the wedding gift we received from my mother 54 years ago. So I bought another one, the one I am currently reviewing. I was hoping this one would use proportional heating control. That is the amount of current to the heating element is changed by very small amounts to hold a constant cooking temperature. I was disappointed to learn that although it has digital temperature readout and set point adjustment it still uses an on/off relay. Current to the heating element is either on or off, never anything in between. The result of this is that when frying hamburgers the frying comes and goes as the heat is turned on and off. So I am not completely satisfied with this one. I'll keep looking for one that was designed by an engineer who knows a PID loop from a relay.
