Rival 11" Electric Skillet

Great product for the price. I don't know how anyone can live without an electric skillet. I'm the 3rd generation that has used electric skillets almost on a daily basis. Don't know what we'd do without one. Have only had this one a few weeks, but am very pleased so far.

this skillet is just what im needing! my stove was turned off for safety reasons because i would forget that it was on and leave it unattended. with this skillet i dont have to give up all of my favorite meals. what i can't cook in the skillet, i can cook in the microwave. i have even cooked corn bread in this skillet.
i am very satisfied and happy that i bought this product and i have allready recommended it to other seniors in my apartment building.

All the reviews i read before buying this were all true. I love this electric skillet! It cooks my food better and faster than my stove. i use it everyday for frying and for baking dishes (chicken,hamburger, bacon, vegetables). I love the none stick surface too and it gets really hot (up to 400 degrees). it is super for the price.

I have one of the FIRST models of these, and it still works great after all these years. I have never had any problems with it. I use it for everything...stir fry, grilled sandwiches, hotdishes, roasts, swedish meatballs, chicken breasts, burgers, sloppy joes, pancakes, sausage, eggs, bacon, french toast, swiss steak...you name it, I've made it in there. This is a die-hard skillet! Because of this, I just ordered one for my friend's son & girlfriend who got their first apartment. I KNOW they will love it as much as I do. Easy to use, easy to clean, dependable!

I've had this skillet for a couple of weeks now and it works great. Everything cooks evenly. I'm trying to save on the gas bill. So hopefully this will work.

I've owned this product for maybe a month now. It cooks faster than a microwave! And then, of course, you can leave the food on "Warm", so you save energy versus using the microwave again.

It's many appliances in one: you can use it like a frying pan, a slow cooker, a conventional saucepan; it's great for cooking rice, so replaces a rice cooker, too. I'd bet you could bake cornbread in it, or a small chicken. Honestly, I'm really thrilled with this product.

It's easy to clean. Be SURE to follow its instructions on first seasoning it. I used olive oil (was all I had), heated the skillet to 300 and then let it cool down, per the instructions. Then I just wiped it dry with a paper towel.

Cleanup thereafter is a snap. You can't immerse the skillet, but you won't need to: just use sudsy hot water: I use one of those sponges on a stick and hot water. Then dry it.

The temperature gauge would seem to be confusing -- until you read the instructions. They tell you what temperature to use for common foods, so it's easy to 'translate' what level of heat or microwave power becomes what 'temperature' on the skillet.

Was always chary of electric skillets, but with this one you can remove the heating element. You can be sure when the heating element is off, because you can't turn the dial left any longer. Then let it cool before unplugging.

If you know anyone who's not good at cooking, get them this skillet.

One slight con: there is no spout built in on the side. I'd rather have a small spout for pouring, than the hole they built into the lid to let steam escape. Else, I can't think of anything negative to say!
