One of the most versatile countertop cooking appliances available, this electric skillet provides a round, 14-by-14-inch cooking surface with over 150 square inches of space for everything from family orders of pancakes to fajitas with friends. The thoughtfully designed skillet features a petroleum-free, ceramic-based, nonstick cooking surface that contains no PTFE or PFOA, which means less impact on the environment, while offering healthier cooking options (little to no butter or oil needed) and effortless food release. For convenient monitoring of food while cooking, the attractive appliance includes a tempered glass lid with a stainless-steel rim and handle. In addition, die-cast stainless-steel handles flanking both ends feature an embossed Cuisinart logo and provide a safe, secure grip when transporting the skillet from the kitchen to the dining-room table for serving. The unit's temperature control dial with a handy indicator light can be adjusted from "warm" to 450 degrees F and removes easily for cleanup by hand or in the dishwasher. An instruction/recipe booklet with over 30 recipes comes included. Beautifully housed in polished stainless steel, the 1800-watt electric skillet measures 17-1/5 by 18-1/5 by 7-2/7 inches and carries a three-year limited warranty.

4.0 out of 5 stars
great skillet but!,
This review is from: Cuisinart CSK-250 GreenGourmet 14-Inch Nonstick Electric Skillet (Kitchen)
Big,and beautiful with a glass top that lets you see exactly how things are cooking. We are big fans and users of electric frying pans, these things are great, and this one is certainly bigger and perhaps better than the many others we have used to death, BUT there is this one flaw and it is hard to get over.
The vent hole in the glass top is too small. Water vapor stuffs up in this little hole and the lid starts to sputter all around the edge and all over the counter top. Cooking too fast? Well no. The temp control shuts on and off as most of them do, and so when it's in the on mode the pan gets a rush of heat and the top then sputters all over the place. We have had the pan for about eight months, so perhaps cuisinart has corrected this problem.

My grandma gave us a 12-inch square electric skillet in the 70s, but we hardly ever used it and eventually gave it to Goodwill. It offered no advantage over stovetop cooking.
My wife got the Green skillet for me last month. The 14 inch size makes it very versatile. You can brown a lot of mushrooms without having to batch-cook them. I'm sure it will fry a lot of chicken too. The heat distribution is good. At 450 F, you can't sear steaks--leave that to 550F+ cast iron or Staub's enameled iron grill pans-- but golden-browning is wonderfully easy to achieve. For open-pan cooking, I would give it 4-5 stars. I must however, subtract two full stars for the patently inadequate lid design. How many of us use lidded pans without using their lids to cook? It would be nice to use the Green skillet to steam, simmer or boil things, but the condensate on the lid underside flows directly to the pan rim, gathers, then bubbles, spits and drips all over the countertop and onto the temp-control module. I have to put a towel over the latter, not knowing if an electrical short could otherwise occur, and even then I have to wipe up the countertop afterwards. Or I have to "crack" the lid (which lessens dripping and directs it to one area). Not a fatal issue, but indicative of less-than-fully-thoughtful attention to functional detail by Cuisinart. Two design modifications to the lid would greatly improve things. 1) a much larger vent hole with a sliding shutter to adjust the size of the orifice, and 2) a glass or metal circular rim on the underside running maybe a half inch from the lid's edge, to force lid-condensate to drip into the pan instead of flowing to the lid/pan-edges interface and sputtering out. All in all, we're using this pan a lot, as it works really well for open-pan cooking, and then using the lid to keep food warm.

So glad I bought this skillet. I make a breakfast casserole, omlete-type dish that works best in one pan and my old electric frying pan was on it's last leg. I have been looking for a replacement for about a year. I hesitated before spending well over $100.00 ( my original top price ) but I am so glad I did. Skillet heated quickly for frying the chopped bacon, then elevated temp upward to fry the potatoes crisp and back down to low to set the eggs. Anyhow, not a thing stuck, cleaned up like a breeze! Now, I can't wait to make my potstickers, like a previous reviewer mentioned; with this unit it sounds like I can steam them and brown all in one pan! This is definitely bigger then my older, smaller skillet ( Rival w/a metal lid) so I had to shift some bowls around in cabinet to make it fit, but other then being round instead of square that is only thing that I had to do. The ''green-pan'' coating was also a added feature that was attractive. I only ever use wooden or high-heat plastic utensils in my non-stick cookware anyway, so that is only specific direction for the wear and care of this unit - not a biggie! Plus, it's stainless steel exterior, so it even matches my oven, and other appliances. I know this will last for years and will suit my needs perfectly.
