Proctor Silex Electric Skillet with Lid, 116 sq. in. Nonstick Cooking Surface for Frying, Sauteing, Simmering and Braising, Adjustable Temp 200° to 400° F, Black (38526PS)

I purchased three years ago and one of my friends needed one so I gave her Mine. But then I realized I used it more than I thought so I purchased another one and excuse to get just one a little bit bigger.

Now that I'm in my 80's, I'm trying to stay away from the stove. This along with my electric coffee pot etc. help.I've had this skillet for about a year now and use it 4-5 times a week. Absolutely nothing sticks. I wipe it with paper towel and it's 'clean'.

update... it quit working today, so didnt last a year of using a couple times a week. Not as happy now..Havent had one in many years... I love this... Wish I had ordered it sooner.....

I use this daily! The non stick surface is great for making my husband's turkey bacon for breakfast! Good size cooking for two!

Despite what to me was a low price along with a reputable brand name of Proctor Silex, I almost did not order the electric skillet. My reason for considering it was due to my stove short-circuiting, leaving me with a convection oven, and a microwave oven, and no experience boiling pasta in the latter. After being successful in my first attempt I then considered my other problems, namely, sauteeing chicken thighs for my chicken salad for sandwiches, sauteeing mushrooms which I do a lot, and browning ground beef for casseroles. I decided the reviews were positive enough that I went ahead and ordered it. It was delivered as promised on Sunday and I wasted no time putting it together with my Phillips screwdriver. Once the handle was in place I read over how to set it up and operate it, then went to work with the chicken thighs. As I have trouble standing for long periods, I found it a pleasant difference to actually sit down on my kitchen chair while tending to the thighs as they simmered in the skillet. I then did up the mushrooms and found it so easy to do. The skillet is nonstick and therefore a breeze to clean up afterwards and is surprisingly light and easy to move. I am definitely pleased with it to the extent I may not worry over the stove but be content with my other two ovens and this amazing electric skillet.

Cooking for one is made easier with this skillet. Love the temperature control whether I'm cooking cabbage or burgers, I can count on consistency. Good sealing lid so I can help steam cook or if I just want to limit spattering. Non-stick. Easily cleaned. Nice alternative to the stovetop. Good value.

This is quite possibly the worst workmanship I have ever had the misfortune to discover in any item that actually cost real money. Never mind the rough finish on the non-stick interior of the skillet. The metal "lip", or whatever you might call the part of the lid that is a bit recessed and fits it to the inside of the pan, is bent on three sides and not uniformly or evenly, so it is not a design feature. It just looks like it got whacked around before it was put in the box. One side is straight and fits properly. The bent parts could be overlooked or even possibly carefully straightened. The lid still more or less works.I discovered the worst bit of this skillet when finishing my first use of it. I followed instructions and turned the skillet off and then unplugged it from the wall outlet. I let it cool down before unplugging the temperature control from the skillet. As I pulled the temperature control unit from the skillet it made a scraping sound and feel. The temperature control piece has a long center "prong" that heats the skillet. It also has a small hole to either side of the longer prong. Looking at where it plugs into the skillet, there are - or should be - two very small, smooth, shiny "prongs" that fit into the the two holes on the temperature control. As it turns out, these are smooth and shiny because they are each covered with a smooth shiny metal sleeve that screws onto them.One of these had not been screwed in tight and just pulled out with the temperature control unit. It was actually stuck inside the little corresponding hole on the temperature control. I did manage to retrieve this little metal sleeve and will attempt to properly screw it back into place - assuming I can find a small enough tool to do so.This seems to me to be unsafe and really an unnecessary defect - or set of defects. I am both puzzled and disappointed. I made this purchase because I needed it. I don't have money to burn.

Great non-stick, vented lid. Gotta tighten the legs once in a while.
