Great little skillet
The skillet cooks fast and evenly. The 12 x 12 design is space saver. Clean up is a snap. The amount and quality of foods you can cook is amazing.
Buyer Beware
Bought the device on Friday, seasoned it and all of that stuff. Went to use it Sunday morning to cook eggs and set it to 300 per the booklet. The thermostat control is useless! It has 2 settings High and Off. The light would never turn off and the skillet kept heating, the temperature was on blast furnace! Unplugged the temperature control and LUCKILY I had not thrown away my 25 year old West Bend temperature controller from my old skillet. It fit the connection on the new skillet and I happily fried my eggs for breakfast at 250 degrees.
So, right out of the box, the temperature controller was malfunctioning. I saw MANY other posts in here about Oster and the malfunctioning t-stats and I believed them. Unfortunately, my wife was shopping for the unit at Walmart and picked up the "brand" name of Oster and we got screwed. To get a new controller, I have to work with a repair shop in another city. I will be calling them on Monday and see what they can offer. I have a feeling...
I am loving it.
Has made my life so much easier. The other day I cooked some pasta in a pan. Then heated some veggies and chicken that I had sliced and heated some white sauce. When the pasta was done, I drained it and poured it and the other ingredients into the Electric skillet and mixed them all well. I closed the lid and let it simmer for about 8 minutes on low then served.
I got this because my grocery store, Publix, does cooking demos and they use these to cook chicken, steak, and all kinds of quick and easy dishes. The size is nice as well. I am single but made enough food for the entire week at one time. I can now serve what I made either heated up in the microwave, or it even makes a nice cold pasta salad.
Easy to clean, just pull out the plug probe, wipe out excess oil, grease etc, these rinse under warm soapy water and wipe clean with a paper towel and you are done.
I have used it every week for a month now and have not had a single issue.
