Review: This is a great kitchen appliance - This is a great kitchen appliance, one that I have been missing for a while since my last one (not this brand/model) was destroyed by my ex-wife (hint to the reader or spouses thereof - don't leave these things sitting overnight soaking in water. It's really not good for the skillet or the marriage). This was the first thing I bought after our divorce - okay, just kidding, we didn't divorce, but she did destroy it that way, and the instructions tell you not to do that. Wait until it is cool, then gently clean with soap and water - I was very guilty with our last one of not waiting until it was cool. I know this isn't supposed to be an instructional review on cleaning, but this is key to the skillet actually lasting a long time. People often kill their skillets by cleaning them incorrectly, or using metal utensils on the surface. Read the instructions. Functionally, it is great. I like that it can fold into a small space, but I agree with other reviewers that putting the handles inside of the base is asking for a scraped-up surface. I put a dishcloth between the two for a while (and cautioned the wife to do the same), but have now given up on storing it folded up - dishcloths aren't always handy. Seems to heat pretty evenly to me, and the pour spout is definitely helpful since it doesn't drip back on itself down the side when you use it. I haven't noticed a catastrophic loss of heat through the drain spout, but I am not trying to use it as a steamer. I find it nice to be able to remove the top without having a killer puff of steam lounging at you, followed by splattering oil as the water from the top drips down into the skillet. There is still some buildup, but the spout helps reduce that. Looks nice, large cooking area (great for my big family), easy to clean - it's a winner. I've had to use the cast iron skillet since the last electric skillet broke, and this is infinitely easier to cook with (to me - others may disagree and say I just need to learn how to use a cast iron skillet). It was a long, rough road without it, but she's back now along with the joy of cooking. :)
Review: Wow. Just wow. - Let me start off by saying I have a VERY nice set of stainless steel pots and pans, and this thing has pretty much replaced all of them. It’s big enough for me to meal prep 10 to 12 meals at once, the nonstick is absolutely phenomenal: I literally can clean it with a wet paper towel in about 10 seconds. It heats up almost instantly and the heat feels very even. Chicken, pancakes, eggs, bacon, ground beef, you name it. I honestly made the best scrambled eggs I’ve ever had on it tonight, set it to 250 and move them around and they were so fluffy and light. I love that it can store super compact but I honestly keep it on my counter and haven’t even put it away yet. This thing has absolutely changed the way I cook and I get excited every time I get to use it. Just remember to only use silicone or wood utensils or you’ll definitely wreck the nonstick. If you’re on the fence just buy it. You will not regret this product. Trust me on this one.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: how deep are the sides? or the depth of the skillet?**
A: The sides are about 21/2" to 3 " deep.  It has a pour spout on one corner which makes the cover not seal. I have also contacted the company because after 3 uses the non stick is coming off. I would not buy this product again.

**Q: On the box it says you can bake in it.  Has anyone tried a lasagna or cornbread or something that requires baking?**
A: I bake in it all the time...to use in the oven, you use it without the handle/base.   I often make a large egg bake with 1 dozen eggs, 1 lb sausage and greens to eat throughout the week.  Plugged in, I fry the sausage, then wilt a huge pile of greens while I crack the eggs.  Pour the eggs/milk over it, top it with uncooked mushrooms, maybe cheese.  Unplug and put the base straight into the oven.  ONE PAN!  
I LOVE this and another friend of mine uses it for almost everything she cooks...it makes a great morning griddle, and a great 1 pan dinner meal.  (She just sets it on the stove without any of the handle/base parts.  Actually, that's how I cook in it as well...I set the base on my glass topped stove and cook in it like that...without the handles and base.)   Then, it can go straight into the oven as well.   Both of us are no-nonsense people.   ( If I were cooking with a child, I would use the base/handle assembly..)
I've never done it, but it would be PERFECT for a huge batch of lasagne.  Plenty deep, and you could roast a turkey in it, as well.  
My number one top use for this is making ketogenic low-carb shirataki noodle dishes.  The large flat surface makes short work of drying out the noodles, which is step #1 for a good shirataki noodle dish.  Then you stir fry your meat and aromatics directly in the noodles, add healthy fats and add shredded cabbage and misc veggies, bone broth, etc.  ONE POT!  I make four bags of shirataki Miracle noodles plus all the other add-ins for four large noodle bowl servings. Technically, I could probably do an 8 bag noodle dish in this pan, but that's more than I need.

**Q: What is the maximum temperature the unit goes up to?**
A: Sorry I'm late, don't check this email very often.  The dial goes to 400, but if you go past that mark, maybe 425.  This is a good skillet.  I've put several other brands in my yard sales as white elephants, but this one is a keeper.

**Q: One more question:  Does it maintain temperature?  The one I have goes from TOO hot to TOO cold very quickly so I'm constantly adjusting the dial**
A: The temperature control will cycle on and off - this is normal.  For example when left on the warm setting, the control will reach 212 degrees and drop down to 160, and then back up to 212.  This process will continue throughout cooking.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great cooking skillet
*by R***X on November 21, 2025*

Love this for cooking because of its great design, accurate temps and see through lid. Use it for cooking more than my wife. Large surface with heating element for more consistent temps throughout the pan. Easy to clean. Extra features like pouring spout that can be used to hold wooden spoon sticking out when lid is on. Great appearance. Quality build.
