A massive disappointment
Ordered this pan for my wife for Valentines day 2010, which in itself made me a little apprehensive after the birthday vacuum fiasco many years back.
Seems women don't always appreciate getting tools on special occasions. Who knew ?
Arrival: Double boxed and well protected, the wife carefully opened the containers. Enclosed was a beautiful pan wrapped in a protective plastic bag and dripping in oil. Oh-Oh, recalling a few closing reviews about leakers.
Not to worry, the instructions mention washing in hot, soapy water to remove oil residues from the manufacturing process. OK then..still, why make such a beautiful product and not take the time to clean it a bit ?
Anyway, we cleaned it and re-arranged cupboards to give it a safe place from dings. Put it away until today when we pulled it down to cook a few hamburgers.
Some of the write ups mentioned a lack of heat control accuracy as well as extended time to heat so I instrumented the...
The best
An electric skillet is a much underrated kitchen helper. Many benefits to it, including that it controls the heat and you can leave it unwatched. I own this skillet in a vacation house. Now I will buy it at Amazon for much less than I paid for the first one. This skillet is the best I have ever seen or used. It is heavy, cooks well (you do have to get used to the heat levels), cleans like a dream, goes through the dishwasher perfectly.
A Great Skillet
This Skillet is really practical, not only does it maintain and even heat distribution, it can get really hot which is great for searing meats. I enjoy the convenience of using this to reheat foods, put on low setting for a few minutes -- no need to have to watch the pan. It is also a fine vegetable steamer. I just got it and have used it everyday since then! Four years later and still using my Skillet. It makes great popcorn too!
