I have only had my Cuisinart Electric Skillet for approx. two weeks, but have used it almost every day since receiving it! I love it! Very easy to clean, nothing sticks to it. I have fried chicken twice in it, and it did a wonderful job of it. The chicken fried evenly and got very brown and crusty but no burning. I have fried pork chops in it, and it was the same, cooked perfectly. I have found it fries bacon much better and more evenly than trying to do it on my stove and so much easier to clean up because it doesn’t spatter as badly as cooking in a more shallow skillet. Plus, my stove top is smooth glass and frying on it is always messy and causes the grease to burn onto it and then has to be cleaned with special glasstop cleanser, so I don’t make a mess on my stove when I use the skillet. I cooked hamburgers in it yesterday and they were delicious, browned on the outside but juicy inside. The best I have cooked in a long time. I cannot praise this skillet enough! I have been searching for a 16-in. electric skillet for the past year but every one that I would find listed on Amazon (which is the same selection, or even better selection) than I would find in a local department store, and as I always read customer reviews before I buy (I feel this is the best way to find out about any product before actually buying and using it, from people who have it and have used it) they all had some bad features, either in the design or workmanship, and in the case of Rival, not good customer service. So I stayed away from every brand that I read about for the 16 in. elec. skillets. Then, just recently, I was checking out the food network website and noticed this oval shaped one by Cuisinart that they offered, and though the price was the same as on amazon, I went with amazon because of the free shipping. I was also hoping that amazon would have a few customer reviews for me to read so I could see how others either liked or disliked the skillet, but alas, there were none! I guess it is too new yet to have many customer reviews. Though it is not quite the 16 inches that I was looking for, the 15″X12″ size has proven to be just as good, it easily holds a whole chicken without crowding. The one inch differenc wasn’t enough to stop me from buying it. I knew Cuisinart was a very good brand, so I trusted the name, and took a chance and I am so happy that I did. It is pure joy to cook in this skillet. I haven’t even put it away since I have had it, as I use it almost every day, I just keep it sitting on the end of my counter in the kitchen, where I use it. The only criticism I could offer is the shortness of the cord, but I have found this is true with every electric skillet that I have looked at, and was true with my old one that I gave my daughter when I purchased this one. It seems you can’t wear electric skillets out, as I had that one for about 25 years! But back to the short cord. I think it is a safety feature so that you won’t get caught in the electric cord and pull the skillet off the counter or table and cause burns to yourself or damage the skillet. And thankfully, the cord is just long enough to reach the outlet on the down-side of my counter top without having to use an extension. If I used it close to a wall with a wall socket, it would reach even better. But since I don’t have a lot of counter space and the counter top range takes up so much of my space, it is more convenient for me to have it at the end of the counter top. And it is worth every penny of the hundred dollar price! I highly recommend it.

I bought one about 7-8 years ago and have absolutely loved it! I use it EVERYDAY! I use to get the Rival electric skillet for many years before that and would have to replace them about every year it seemed because the teflon would start to wear off–yuck! Once I bought this, I was pleased with it’s size and the fact that the nonstick surface stayed for a LONG time! It was much more expensive than the old Rival brand but it was well worth it! Then after many, many years, the nonstick surface started showing signs of wear so I set out to find another one. I bought it from Amazon thinking that I didn’t have to pay shipping but I didn’t see that the only way that you get that is if you get some subscription so that was a bit of a negative cuz I could have gotten it sooner at Bed, Bath & Beyond and wouldn’t have had to pay the shipping. Oh well, I was okay with it. But when I got it, I was really disappointed by the loud noise it made whenever you turned it on! My last one never did that! I looked up some reviews online and found out that others had the same problem. Then I read that someone returned their’s to Amazon and got another one and it did the same thing! Bummer! I guess they “don’t make ’em like they used to”!! I have gotten used to the noise and try and ignore it but it does frustrate me. Some other reviews said that they were disappointed that the heat doesn’t stay constant–that it turned on and off a lot but I don’t find that to be an issue cuz it has to do that–it couldn’t stay the same constant heat the entire time! But I do notice it more than with my old one cuz now, whenever it turns off, the noise goes away and when it turns on again, the noise comes back…now– that IS annoying!

I expected more out of this electric skillet, knowing that cuisinart was the manufacturer. I pored over reviews here and on youtube, and thought this is the best one overall. Using this skillet, I was disappointed that the temperature control is not accurate at all, and it doesn’t seem to just be off by a certain amount, but it changes. I could live with it being off by 50 degrees and adjust accordingly, but this temperature control can be too hot, then too cold, very unreliable. I love the size, and the look of the pan, but would not purchase another one. I will continue to use it, as what I use it for, I can make allowances for it’s unstable operation.

I wasn’t sure given there were a few mixed revues. Mine arrived perfect. Have used it multiple times and it works perfect. Looks much nicer than any I’ve seen in stores. You really wouldn’t mind using it on a nice buffet setting. Very easy to clean too.

This skillet was given to my sister as a gift, and she loves it. I recommend this product. The skillet is beautifully shaped, easy to clean, and was a dream to cook with. I want to buy one for myself for Christmas!

This works very well for pan frying, making pancakes, stews, etc….Its a nice heavy stainless steel material on outside and inside is the non stick coating. It has a max 450 degrees and it will stop and cool off for a few min once it reaches the temperature and start back up, it does make a few sounds when it does this but nothing to be concerned about. I’ve so far used this like 10 times since I got it. The price was a little high at $140 when I got this and I do feel it could be a bit cheaper maybe at $100 which would make more sense but the quality is really good compared to others so its still worth it. If there is a sale then its definitely a great buy.
