Elite Gourmet EG-6203# Extra Deep 16″x13″x3.2″ (10.5Qt.) Scratch Resistant, Easy Pour Spout Dishwasher Safe, Non-stick Electric Skillet with Glass Vented Lid, Adjustable Temperature, Black

so far so good, good depth & size for various cooking needs, better heat coil design than most
High rating for what it is, and for now. If I experience anything worth sharing, I will be back to do so (especially if negative).Electric skillets are a must have more me. Ease of use is my primary reason. I dont always want to use the gas stove, and I dont always want cast iron. I like the no fuss aspect of the electric skillet, and I like not “heating up” the kitchen in the summer. I also like it as an extension of my cook top options. I can use stove and also use this. I feel more comfortable cooking something for a long period of time in this than I do on my stove top. I sometimes use this a slow cooker, like its a hybrid.Now, the downside to electric skillets is that they eventually break down. I buy a new one every couple of years. DOES NOT MATTER BRAND. Brand name or off brand, they are all pretty much the same; something goes on them. I even had a $200 electric pot that barely lasted a year. SO, I now look for a product in the $50 range. If it lasts me a year, great. Unfortunate but true. Also, I am type to use this 1, 2,3x per DAY. So someone who says they’ve had theirs 10 years but only used 6x, is not helpful.Currently I have smaller electric skillet (maybe 12″x12″x2″) for most basic needs. I had had larger skillets like this in the past, but sometimes it felt like it was too big. Yet still had desire for one especially for larger scale cooking. Hence why I had the uber pricy electric pot style. When THAT stopped working (control panel), I decided I would just get this large skillet. It is wide and deep. Plenty of space to work with, including making sauces and soups. And stewps (my thick soups). I figure if my little skillet breaks down, then I also have this as back up.My little skillet is showing signs of “burn” where the heating coils run. This makes for uneven heating, more prone to burning food, and also wears down the non stick portion quickly. Wont be long before I toss it, or I buy another–I do like having the small one too.Ok, so with any and all these skillets of any brand at any price point, the areas that are likely to go bad are:1. heating coil area. This presents as a breakdown as seen in main portion of pan. Looks like a darker area. This contributes to uneven heating and less non stick. Then it is just always a mess to work with.2. temperature apparatus. The portion that plugs into the skillet. They are pretty much all the same, just a prong. Sometimes they dont situate right any longer.3. which is basically going back to #1, but the non stick wears away. You will get eventual scratches even if you are always using silicone or wood. ALSO, be sure to use soft cloth, nothing scratchy to clean inside.So when stuff seems to be burning or sticking too much, then it is time to think about buying new.ADDED TIP: when storing the cord inside, I like to keep a layer of paper towel or a cloth to line the skillet to protect it from prong scratching at it when in storage.++++++++++++++That all being said, this skillet is NICE. So far (again will update if need be)+++++++++–Size and depth are great for many cooking needs.–Cord is typical, with temperature control having its usual assortment of temps. Red light indicates its on–INSIDE has texture. A small dimpling all over the bottom. THAT IS NEW to me. Wasnt sure if I would like it, BUT it might just help extend the non-stick aspect.–UNLIKE most skillets of any size, this has TWO heat coils and not just one center loop (they call it M shape). THAT lends to much more even cooking, and hopeful much less likelihood of burn through.–Has cut out for pouring/venting and/or maybe spoon–1500 watt. Some have less wattageFOR MY needs, I like it–so far. I am currently pleased with it. Have used it several times, and so far so good. I will update if it all goes south. Or will perhaps update over time if it continues to be stellar. I tend to keep up with my reviews and will update on occasion.

Awesome skillet
I purchased this to replace my extra-large electric skillet that I had quit working. Walmart never has them in stock, and I can’t go long without one, as I use it frequently. This skillet is the best electric skillet I have ever had. It cooks evenly. It has a honeycomb texture on the bottom that I thought would get food stuck in it, but I was WRONG. It is so easy to clean. Food almost never sticks to it, even when I get distracted from the kitchen and forget I had meat frying. And even then, it comes loose with a gentle scrape from your utensils. It is large enough to cook a lot of food. I have use it to cook a roast. It was faster than a crockpot but safe enough for me to go outside and do work and check it occasionally and not have to worry about the stove or oven being on. I usually cook for 3 people on a daily but always need leftovers for lunches. But I can cook for 7-8 people with no issues.

Very nice
Stores well under my cabinet. Very durable and easy to clean. Heat up well and I’ve enjoyed cooking with it. Nice design. Recommend

excelente producto

I use this pan at least 3 times per week with wooden spatulas and hand wash it. A year and a half later still looks like just out of the box. Gives excellent performance always. I have plenty on stove good quality pans but love to use this one especially during the summer.Highly recommend this item.
