Quality, Durable, and Easy Cleanup.,

This review is from: Oster CKSTSKFM05 16-Inch Electric Skillet, Black and Stainless Steel (Kitchen)
I bought this skillet a few months ago to replace my old worn out one. I like to cook quick meals for myself with a skillet because of my job. I'm always on the go and I need a easy, fast, cook and clean for one person and out the door way of life. I have gone thru many cheaper skillets thru the years and Oster makes the most durable, long lasting surface I know. This skillet is big enough for family meals, and the thermostat works, not like the other brands. Simmer is Simmer.

False Description of Cooking Dimensions,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Oster CKSTSKFM05 16-Inch Electric Skillet, Black and Stainless Steel (Kitchen)
The Amazon product description for this description reads: "...a 16 inch skillet," and "The unit provides a smooth cooking area (measuring a generous 16 by 20-inches) that heats quickly and evenly."In reality, the actual dimensions of the cooking area are only 11 5/8" inches by 15 inches. I'm not one to nit-pick minor deviations in product descriptions, but the product description on this electric skillet is not even close to being accurate. I thought that I had ordered an over-sized skillet, and I was surprised and disappointed at how small it was when I took it out of the box. For the life of me, I can't figure out how the author of this product description came up with a "cooking area measuring a generous 16 by 20-inches." I have notified Amazon and intend to return the unused skillet for a full refund and continue my search for a larger skillet. I've purchased many items from Amazon, and have always received products that have matched (or come close to matching) the described described dimensions that I have ordered until this electric skillet. Amazon either should fix the incorrect product description or deliver an electric skillet with the described dimensions. Until Amazon does so, hopefully this post will save others from making the same mistake that I did.

Oster CKSTSKFM05 16-Inch Electric Skillet, Black and Stainless Steel
i've been looking at electric skillets for a while now and finally decided to get this one. it was excellently packaged when it arrived so it came safe and sound. after removing it from the packaging and seasoning it as recommended, i was anxious to try it out. it's size makes storage a bit of a challenge, which i didn't take into consideration when i bought it, but that's my problem and has nothing to do with how it works. LOL the black and chrome goes perfectly in my kitchen and blends in well with other utinsels. Cooking: i don't know if this is common with this particular skillet, but mine has a very definite hot spot on the opposit end of the plugin. this means that half of my chicken as rather burnt and half was perfect. i thought it might be an abhoration or something but fried potatoes did the same thing. 2 stars Control Dial: there are no marks between degree temps. the temp goes up in 50 degree incriments, but there is no way to tell where anything in between them is. for instance, there is 320 and 370 degree marks, but nothing for 325 or 350 degrees. it's all by guess and by golly. however, the numbers seem to be protected somewhat and don't appear to want to rub off with use. 3 stars Lid: the lid doesn't fit as snugly as i would like, but it's better than some things i have. however, it does have a steam vent on it and that can be problematic when cooking rice dishes. being clear is a huge benefit as there's no need to lift it to see how things are going. 4 stars so overall, my rating for this skillet would be 3 stars. i hope this helps someone who's contemplating this skillet. just remember that it is quite large so if you have a small family it may be more than you need. but for larger families it would be perfectly sized.
