The big problem is the temperature control probe. After only two months of use, the probe fails to maintain contact unless you manually hold it in tightly.

The capacity is good for a large family. I bought it for quantity catering over 4 years ago, and the fact that you can throw it in the dishwasher (minus removable electrics of course).

I was sold on the idea of a submersible cooking element for ease of cleaning, as well as complete temperature control.

But it failed to perform to any reasonable expectation. First the thermostatic control ran close to 100 degrees above the setting, and over several... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~415103028868 Sat, 19 Jan 2008 05:59:32 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_415103028868?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_414888595076?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author xyzwyatt - I purchased this skillet a year ago during one of my spending sprees. I had no real use for it but the price was right, so I got it. I figured it would be nice to have for days when the stove burners were full.

Food sticks, heating is uneven, thermostat is useless, now the bottom has begun to buckle (certainly not due to high heat!). Might make an interesting flower... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~406586363524 Sun, 28 Oct 2007 13:53:10 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_406586363524?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_406136852100?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author ccrow - I bought this last spring because I needed a large capacity pan, and I had used an electric skillet a lot in the past. It works fine, but the coating is all coming off over the heating element. That whole area is noticeably silvery looking as opposed to... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~406136852100 Mon, 22 Oct 2007 10:42:24 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_406136852100?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_403709136516?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author skyebluewater - My daughter bought this Rival non-stick electric skillet for me because I had remarked that I liked the design, so she saw it on sale one day and bought it home. That's about all that's great about it. The only way I can get enough heat to cook... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~403709136516 Thu, 20 Sep 2007 18:34:58 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_403709136516?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_403033460356?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author ultramax12 - Bought this skillet for my wife, she has only used it twice, plugged it in last night to use and the skillet will no longer power... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~403033460356 Wed, 12 Sep 2007 12:29:53 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_403033460356?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_401978986116?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author twilighttime - I purchased this skillet after my venerable old West-Bend model died after 15 years of faithful service. Is it just me, or has the quality of most electric skillets REALLY gone downhill lately? Granted they still cost about the same amount they did way... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~401978986116 Thu, 30 Aug 2007 01:25:51 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_401978986116?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_399392738948?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author k5blazer - I bought one of these to replace my beloved SK300 Deep Dutch, what a mistake. The Temp Control is hard to use, the dial is rounded and it's hard for your fingers to grasp to set the temperature. On top of that, the pan burns at one end and under-cooks... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~399392738948 Mon, 30 Jul 2007 13:17:13 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_399392738948?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_390429838980?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author rosegarden360 - It looks so big and inviting on the shelf at the store. We needed the large size and the non-stick surface would be perfect. NOT! First we discovered that the thermostat control simply didn't work properly--we've never had the dial above 250 deg.
