Product Description

A necessity for any busy kitchen, this 12-inch Oster electric skillet comes in handy in multiple ways. First, it creates additional cooking space when hosting dinner guests or the extended family during the holidays. Second, its portable design makes it simple to tote along on vacations, to potlucks, or on camping trips as an alternative to testing survival skills over an open fire. Finally, it offers an energy-efficient way to quickly cook, reheat, or warm foods - rather than turning on the oven or stovetop to simply melt cheese on a quesadilla or prepare a few pre-cooked hot dogs. The unit's non-stick interior and exterior ensure easy food release and hassle-free cleanup, while its cool-touch handles allow for safe transport. Furthermore, its removable lid, which hinges open to spare valuable countertop space, offers a tempered-glass dome that contains heat and splatters and allows for at-a-glance monitoring of the sizzling food inside. With its quick-release adjustable temperature control removed, the electric skillet can go in the dishwasher and measures approximately 13 by 16-1/2 by 5-inch.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Quality electric skillet with convenient hinged lid...., January 3, 2010

I received this as a gift to replace my well used West Bend skillet, which kept me going for about 6 years. What had drawn me to the Oster was that it had a tempered glass lid that you could remove or leave hinged and ready to cover your item when needed.

So far I have made pancakes and scrambled eggs in my new skillet and I love it! The non-stick coating allowed items to come off the pan easily and it was a breeze to clean. I also love the glass lid, so I can see the food without having to lift the lid. On the warm setting I was able to keep the eggs ready to eat and warm when breakfast was slightly delayed. There are no vent holes, but this was not a huge deal to me.

If you would like a good, all-around electric skilletthis one is a good price of good quality.

I would definitely recommend.

I bought this pan for my elderly Mother who for reasons related to her personal health and saftety, can no longer use the oven. She had used her former electric skillet for over 30 years and it really needed replacing.
She is delighed with this pan and finds she can prepare steaks, chops, bacon and eggs and french toast all with equal ease.
The cooking is even and the temperature is "true".
The non-stick interior is an added bonus and an improvement over her former electric skillet which is no longer manufactured.

I really love this skillet. I had my doubts when I saw the hinged lid - I was sure it couldn't really work. But it's perfect: it opens and closes very securely, and it's easy to detach and reconnect for cleaning. There's even an extra leg support on the hinge side for when the lid is open, to make sure the pan doesn't tip over. Very solid, extremely convenient!

One drawback is that the heating element (as you can see on the bottom of the pan) is one circle around the outside of the pan. You definitely have to stir to make sure the contents cook evenly. But it's a skillet and not a crock pot, so it would be good to keep an eye on it anyway. And the thermostat shuts off when it reaches the desired temperature, then turns on again when the temp drops.

All told, it's very handy, neatly does the job, and is easy to use and clean. The clear, hinged lid is phenomenal - saves time, saves space, and lets you see how things are going. It even has a little opening where the condensation on the lid can drip right back into the pan, instead of onto the counter, when the lid is up. Excellent value for the price.
