Precise Heat™ 16-Inch Electric Skillet - Premium Stainless Steel for Even Heating and Cooking

Rebecca Huber: I had electric frying pans before. The telflon coating always worn off ,no matter how careful I was. The stainless steel frying pan will last longer than me. It was easy to clean up. It had a even heat unlike my other electric frying pan which had hot spots. This frying pan is expensive but in the long run it is worth it.

Denis Bailey: Excellent electric skillet. Heats quickly and evenly over the surface of the skillet.

Techie: This is a well-made stainless skillet, and we like it very much. It was bought to replace a non-stick one that we'd had for a couple years. I didn't like how to old pan's coating would bubble and come off... in our food! So I searched and found this one that is almost as "non-stick" as the coated one, but no plastic garbage to get into our food. This unit performs very well, heats fairly evenly (although there is some variation because of the location of the heating coil around the outside of the pan bottom). It's also not too difficult to clean. The reason for the 4 stars is simply because: 1. it has a solid cover which means you have to remove it to see how your food is doing... would have much preferred a glass lid; 2. it's not too difficult to clean, but it IS more difficult than a non-stick pan. It requires more patience and care to clean it, because you don't want to use scratchy pads on it that roughen the surface. I've noticed that simply wiping the cover with a towel will leave marks, so extreme care must be taken to keep it looking nice. But it does look very nice, and we're happy with it, overall.

Burlington Lady: This product was well-packaged and just what I expected. I have used it to cook with 2 times (bacon to season the pan first) and hamburgers later on. Both came out great! As with most pans, the heat is concentrated near the center, but the food still came out great. Make sure to use a cooking spray or something similar since this is not teflon and is a porous surface and you won't have a sticking problem. Also, start your heat low and gradually work your way up as needed. I was skeptical after reading some reviews before I bought this item, but I am pleased! I did a lot of looking around and this is the perfect size for my family of 5. Previously, I had a teflon Cuisinart electric frying pan, which is about the same size as the Precise Heat pan, but after 10 years the teflon started to wear out. I could put the Cuisinart frying pan in the dishwasher, but it was actually so big that it was not worth it. So, having this stainless steel one that cannot go in the dishwasher is not a big deal to me. It cleans up easily when soaked. The only comment that I can make when I got it is that the handle on the lid is not screw mounted into the top, but welded on. I hope the weld holds and the...

Virginia: In shopping around for a new electric skillet (after my LAST non-stick skillet's coating went bad after owning it only a few months), I noticed this beautiful stainless steel skillet and immediately knew this was the one I wanted. The reviews were favorable, and cooking with this skillet is an absolute joy! Even my husband loves to occasionally cook something in it -- and he doesn't cook very often. It's so nice and roomy with great big handles, and a great big knob on top. If any food should stick (this only has happened once so far when I was browning stew beef at about 350 degrees in the skillet), all you have to do is put some hot water and dishwashing liquid in the skillet, wait a while, and it'll be easy to clean. I feel this skillet is well worth the price ($93) as I won't be continuously throwing my money away having to purchase yet another non-stick skillet! This skillet is HEAVY DUTY and will most likely last a long time, and I'll never go back to a non-stick skillet again! This has got to be one of the very best purchases I've made from amazon.com!

Poppy: Huge skillet. Nice crust on fish, chicken, etc. Browns nicely and then put lid on to maintain moisture. Delicious. No sound when lid on at all! Cooks huge amount of food; 8 stuffed chicken Cordon Bleu; 8 minute steaks; wonderful for swiss steak. Of course food will stick as it is not teflon. But that is what I wanted instead of the poison teflon bits. Never put any skillet, teflon or not, in the dishwasher. It destroys (and changes) the coating of your skillet as the dishwasher soap is a chemical mixing with the Teflon chemical. This is a known fact. This skillet sits on my countertop ready for use. It is beautiful...and ready to go. Just adjust how you cook in the stainless steel compared to the non-stick. My foods have only been cooked at 225. For cleaning I place hot water in the stillet, use a rubber spatula and gently removed the remains of food. You can use regular dishwashing soap after massaging a bit and just let it sit. Cleans up nicely. Don't use metal scrubbers but simply use soft plastic. Use baking soda if tidbits somewhat hard to remove. Skillet cannot hold large pot roast or full sized chicken. Skillet does not have a "warm" setting which it should. UPDATE NEXT...
