What Others Say
Totally worthless - Dont buy!
Aside from the dominant comments from others about uneven cooking surface, long heat-up times, and flaking teflon coating (a health hazard that the CPSC ought to look into. There are several usability issues with this model. First the removable pan has a protrusion on the bottom side that must line up with a hole in the element frame in order for the safety switch to close and allow the unit to heat. There is no mention of this in the user guide and there is nothing in the design of the pan or base that "guides" the pan into place. Poor ergonomics! The second issue is that the light is just a power light as opposed to a light that indicates the status of the temperature achieved like virtually every other skillet on the market. To make ...

Burned By Skillet
We bought this skillet while on vacation,what a mistake,I agree with everyone else who gave this thing negative responses. The coating started to peel off after a couple of uses. I wish I could take it back to the store but we were in another state when we bought it. We plan on calling the company and complain but I don't expect much success. DO NOT BUY THIS SKILLET !!!!!
Very safe, you'll never burn yourself
I bought one (thinking the removable pan was a nice idea), but returned it after only one use, thinking it was defective (cooking surface never heated much beyond boiling point of water). However the replacement worked just as bad (had to set controller to 400F just to simmer a pork steak). While other people complain about the non-stick coating coming off, this was never a problem as I could never get it up to a high enough temperature to remove coating. Safety improvement?
Junk
I've used this skillet occasionally and it quit working-only works if I push down it- suspect it has to do with the safety switch. Everything sticks to the pan and it's not the easiest to store.
A lousy product
I was looking for a skillet that could maintain a frying temperature for fish and chicken when the depth of the oil was about an inch or maybe even 2 inches after food was placed in it. Instead, this underpowered wimp of a pan never returned the oil to its proper cooking temperature (assuming it ever really got there). The food, most especially including potatoes, came out soggy and saturated in grease. It was disgusting. Ruined the meal. After the cooking the meal, I washed the pan, put it back in the box, and returned it to the store. Last Rival product I'll ever buy.
Now the question is, IS there a decent frying pan available that can actually heat oil and maintain its temperature as well as a frying pan on a hot stove element ... Read More
