2.0 out of 5 stars Ok to cook with, but numbers rub off the dial!, April 10, 2004

By A Customer

I like the frypan to cook with, like the glass top, the square design. It's easy to clean, and the tilt feature is nice. The quick release of the controller, while a good idea, is very flimsy and should be made of a stiffer material. We've returned it once because the numbers rubbed off the controller. Our store replaced it with a new one and we very carefully avoided the numbers on the dial until stirfrying some chicken. As soon as oil splattered on the dial numbers, they wiped right off with a paper towel. What good is an electric frypan when you don't know how hot it is? We're going to return it and replace it with something else.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good size but lid gets very hot., November 21, 2003

By	Kat aka My Single Mom Life "mysinglemomlife.com" (Sarasota, Florida) - See all my reviews

I bought this because I just love electric skillets and I needed a new one after my skillet of 5 years bit the dust.
It arrived yesterday and I washed it as per the directions and then proceeded to season it and at dinnertime, I cooked chicken breasts in it. It did a very good job, the lift feature is pretty cool, drains the grease away from the food. The quick release latch is a much needed improvement over some of my past skillets. It says it is a tempered glass lid but it got very hot and the plastic handle on top got very hot as well. Maybe it was first time use but it just seemed too hot for normal use.
The small cookbook that came with it has some nice recipe ideas.
Overall, a good product.

1.0 out of 5 stars this product has issues, March 1, 2004

By	kat (Richmond, VA) - See all my reviews

I loved it the minute I got it, but it has one fatal flaw. The numbers on the tempature dial all rubbed off. I called customer service and this is a common problem. In about 4 to 6 weeks I will get a new dial... what a hassle. I say get a different product and save yourself 4 to 6 weeks. Other than that I love it. :)
