De'Longhi Electric Skillet with Tempered Glass Lid, 16" X 12", Black

I spent a LOT of time reading reviews before buying this, and I'm very happy I did. We were replacing an old-fashioned skillet (the kind gramma used to use) and really liked the basic features: the heating element is effectively welded to the bottom, the pan is solid and distributes heat well, the entire unit is submersible and safe to wash, and it was solid and felt well built. This unit is all that, AND it's newer non-stick surface is a dream. It's bigger than the old one, and still heats evenly... we can simmer sauce or boil water in it, or make pancakes or eggs and have everything heat evenly, no problem. The vented glass top is a nice addition. When done, put it in the sink or dishwasher and completely clean it and just let it dry... simple as that. The heating element works exactly like the old one: easy to access & read and holds temp well (doesn't fluctuate wildly when it reaches temp). Yea it costs more than the "recommended cheap brands" but I HIGHLY recommend it!

I love cooking with an electric skillet. My previous one wasn't living up to my expectations: uneven heat, faulty thermostat and flimsy design. Enter, the De' Longhi Electric Skillet! I did my research and knew I wanted a high quality skillet that lived up to it's reviews. I'm SO HAPPY with this skillet! It maintains the heat level and cooks evenly throughout the bottom. Definitely worth the money!

Love it I think it’s overpriced but I love an electric frying pan. They’re such easy cleanup. I never put it in the dishwasher and I use silicone utensils with it. It’s just easier to cook on that because I have pets and I don’t have to worry if anyone goes in the kitchen of getting burnt that could be Cleaned immediately

I use this almost daily and I am happy with the purchase. It is well made like many other Delonghi products. The cord is not as ridiculously short as many kitchen appliances today. Also the electrical plug goes directly into the unit versus into a magnetic plug which is awful if magnet is not strong enough.The handles are sturdy and do not get hot. Nonstick surface works as it should. I like the steam escape valve and glass lid. My only complaint is that it is hard to use for simmering. At 250 degrees it boils and at 200 the heat is too low. Hence 4 stars instead of 5.

This is very nice. Good coating, the lid vents, and the electrical connection is good. Heats up fast, so I have had to adjust my cooking methods a bit. It is very large, I think a slightly smaller one would have been better for our use, but that is my fault, not the mfg or appliance. Highly recommended.Have been using for several months now and love this pan. Cooks fast, even and cleans up beautifully. Have gotten used to the large size & use it frequently. The heat controller has a very good connection, which I have found to be very flimsy in other manufacturer's products. Wish DeLonghi had more product offerings, as I would buy them in a heartbeat.

This is a nice, large electric skillet. I took my grandson to a Universal Studios Vacation in Orlando,FL.. We stayed at the resort and had a mini refrigerator in our room, but no microwave. .We could have rented one for $15 a day but I thought this was a better choice. It fits inside the smallest rolling luggage with a little room for foodstuff and a 10 foot heavy duty extension cord.around it.I made breakfast each morning to save time (and money). One wants to be up and out to the parks as early as possible and using this pan saved us a lot of time, hassle, and maybe a little money.I took precautions, as one must, not to spatter food on the flat screen TV nor burn the buffet top.The pan heats up quickly and food cooks evenly in this pan. It worked for me.

The even heating of this skillet is the best. Cooking items like bacon or burgers does not require more work than flipping them over when the first side is done. This skillet browns beautifully - this is not always true of Teflon pans. The option to open and close the steam vent is a very useful feature. Cooking sunny-side eggs works well when you add a very little water and close the steam vent. The egg whites will cook nicely without having to turn the eggs over. The open vent allows you to make nice crispy vegetables. I do lightly oil the skillet as the directions suggest and food comes out completely - nothing is sticking. . Clean up is also easy: a little detergent, warm water and a dish cloth is all that is needed.

I did not receive the cookbook or the other two items that were to come with it.
