5.0 out of 5 stars Rival S12P Electric Skillet, March 4, 2003

I was looking for something like this when I recently moved into an apartment with a friend . I figured if I had mini-fridge , microwave, and some kind of electric or gas skillet I would be self-contained cooking-wise in my room .
Well I went to my local Target and looked at several models until I spotted the Rival S16 . It was ... which seemed at the time very reasonable, so I got one .
I have been using it for several weeks now and I am blown away by the performance and versatility of this skillet . The shape and design of the pan is very well thought out . It is big enough to cook just about anything and it has perfectly slanted edges so that rice or pasta that is simmering cant sneak up the sides and get stuck . Seems to me like a fairly thick , quality , non-stick coating as well . The speed with which this skillet reaches a usable heat is amazing . It's at least 3 times faster than a pan on a conventional stove , gas or electric.
You can fry hamburgers or steaks , grill oil-free chicken or fish , boil water for mac & cheese (cheese & mac?), simmer pasta or rice mixes , make grilled cheese sandwiches , its endless .
The only negative thing I can say about this product is that the vented plastic lid gets hot enough to emit a plastic odor the first several times you use it. I could sense a slight plastic taste after using the lid on particularly high heat dishes . This goes away after 4-5 uses but I wonder if you put it in the dishwasher, if it would temper the plastic and prevent this ?
All in all a great electric skillet , and I highly recommend it. That ... "reasonable" price has developed into a steal .

4.0 out of 5 stars A good kitchen tool, April 30, 2002

I have used this skillet more than any other kitchen gadget I own - including the toaster! It's perfect for all kinds of stir frys, pork chops, chicken, burgers - pancakes too! The only thing I would change about it would be to make the outside cool to the touch - I've burned myself twice so far by accidentally bumping into it.

The other day, my wife informed me that she had purchased some steaks and wanted me to cook them - four Filet Mignons and a T-Bone to be exact. I decided to use the electric skillet (Rival S12X12P) and I couldn't believe how well it worked. This skillet cooks evenly and is easy to work with. My only complaint is the control knob actually became a little hot. Other than that, this SKILLET kicks [...]! Buy one. You won't be sorry.


I find that most Rival products perform quite well.
