This is a fun little appliance that gets the job done. I bought this when I lost the electric circuit that my microave sits on. Until the electric company can come out and go up their pole to replace their equipment, I needed something electric to heat some small things in. This appliance fits the bill.
I use it to prepare Mac n Cheese cups, the kind that you add water to the fill line and put in your microwave for a period of time. Instead of the microwave, I put the contents into this little pan and heat it that way. Comes out perfectly. I also heat water, and have cooked Klondike Flap Jack cups in it, same way. It all works out great. I have heated chili in it, too.
This little appliance heats stuff rapidly, much quicker than the microwave. So far, I have no issues at all of getting the food out of the pan, and the cooking surface stays clean. Even if it appears that something is cooked on, it's not. Just fool with it a little, and the whole bottom will come out intact, at once, and you can eat that, too.
This appliance is small. It isn't going to cook a lot at once, but for spot meals, or tiny meals, it works. The one thing that I would caution on is the heat. This thing gets HOT. The lid has a steam vent which it would behoove you to rotate away from the tab handle in order to keep the tab from cooking your fingers. Which is not to say that the tab doesn't get hot. It does. You may have to employ a hot pad, or some cloth something that you can use on the tiny tab to pick the pan up. The pan is easy to lift off of the heating element.
There are no other handles to move the pan around, and none on the body of the unit itself. You have to teach yourself to move slowly and carefully around the appliance, and make sure that the body is not touching anything lest it melt a cord or something. Do not let paper products touch the body while in use, for safety. The 260 watts heat up quickly and impressively.
There is no on/off button. Your on/off button is the electric plug. This is okay, because you have to remain with the appliance while in use, and you will be forced to unplug it when done cooking. So, that works out. The only criticism I have is the little blue light which indicates that the appliance is on. It can barely be seen, and you have to cup your fingers around the light to see it working. You have to be careful not to touch the body of the appliance in order to avoid a burn.
One feature I especially like is the fact that the lid is clear glass, which enables you to see the food inside and what is happening to it.
It is very easy to clean. There are actually TWO cooking surfaces to use; I do not plan to use the lower level one because I think you can only use one at a time, anyway, and the top one is sufficient. The lower one is not detachable and underneath that is where the electronics would be, so I don't plan to use it. But, I could. The surface on the top is deeper but a tad smaller. No big deal.
All in all, I am not sorry I bought this appliance. It is getting me through a hard time, and every little bit of convenience we can get is important.

This Nostalgia skillet is so much more than a skillet. I call it my personal skillet and crock pot, but for a single person. In other words expect one serving size per meal. But, if you're looking to just cook for yourself, its perfect for an office, tour bus, road trip, college dotm, hotel or AirBnB stay, car, or any small space even the kitchen.
It's easy to use, but the portability and versatility are what made it a keeper for me. It's small enough to fit in a purse or packback, but expect to be able to cook a single egg, pancake, shrimp, brocoli, fried food, boil water, you name it. I really like this handy gadget. It hasn't replaced my need for an air fryer, but for my personal use, it's just what I need.
The possibilities of cooking with this thing are endless. I'm not a paid reviewer at all, so trust me, I'm passing on a great small kitchen appliance idea for single people who need a personal and portable cooking device. If you're homeless or have limited cooking resources, it will work wonders. The price I paid for it is unbelievable.
You definitely want to add this to your collection if you like small cooking gadgets. I've only had it a week, but if something does happen to it, I would be looking for another one. Thanks Nostalgia.

For about $10, this little skillet is a steal. It works great for making egg omelets or sunny-sides-up, heating up soup or making boiling water for instant noodle/ramen. Well, just use your imagination and the options are endless. I even tried to make bacons too, just cut up the pieces into a 1/3. A unique feature is that this is a two part skillet. The base and the little pan are usable, depending on your type of food. The base is shallow so I can’t really use it much but it heats up very quickly. The top pan takes sometime to heat up. I take this with me to work and received a lot of compliments for how convenient it is. Just make sure that user must handle with care as the product will become very hot to touch, even the plastic surface area. Since it is very light, I have to be extra careful to prevent spills and burns. There you have it, my quick little review ends here since the product is so little, I hope it will help you decide if is the right product for you.
