The “excellent” and “high quality” eFluky 16-inch Electric Skillet heats up quickly and evenly to prepare everyday meals and dinner party dishes. It’s versatile (able to fry, stew, roast, grill, and bake) and can cook diverse recipes like pancakes, scrambled eggs, stir-fried vegetables, curry recipes, stew, soup, Korean barbecue, hot pot, deep-fried chicken, chicken wing fish, steak, and more.
What’s more
Users really like it's “easy-to-control” temperature, which ranges from 200°F to 460°F. It’s warm “simmer” setting is perfect for keeping food hot until mealtime, for a buffet line, and throughout a party.
Party time!
Described as “spacious” and deep, the eFluky 16-inch Electric Skillet can fit enough of one dish to feed at least three to four adults. We read reports of it being used as part of preparations for meals for large families, small company gatherings, and other social events. As an added bonus, its “deep bowl”-like shape with three-inch-high side walls helps reduce splatter.
What more can you ask?
With its nonstick surface, the eFluky 16-inch Electric Skillet requires little oil for healthy cooking. Flipping the food is as easy as cleaning the skillet. Some users simply wipe the nonstick skillet with a soft damp cloth, paper towel, or sponge. After detaching the thermostat control and base, others hand wash to the skillet or put it (and the lid) into the dishwasher. Overall, the skillet is quick and easy to setup, use, and clean.

Dubbed the “Cadillac of electric fryers,” the Elite Platinum EG-6203 Electric Skillet is sturdy, well made, and worth the price. Its unique M-shaped heating element embedded into the bottom the whole length of the pan creates an even heating surface with no hot or cold spots. Users love that ingredients cooking on the skillet’s outer portion don’t burn while ingredients in the center of the skillet don’t end up undercooked.
Get this
The Elite Platinum EG-6203 Electric Skillet heats up quickly with easily controlled and non-fluctuating temperature. Although the thermostat is accessible, it’s close to the unit and can get hot when the skillet is on. Users report cooking a wide variety of dishes through different methods, including pancakes ?, hash browns, eggs (sunny-side up ?and scrambled), stir-fry, Polska Kielbasa, steak with grilled onions and peppers, ground steak with cheese ??; shrimp and sausage Cajun Jambalaya; Crawfish etouffee, shrimp Creole ?, Jamaican pork chops, sloppy joes, and boiled cauliflower.
This deep-dish pan is large with plenty of room to spread ingredients out for rapid heating. With 3.15”-high side walls, the Elite Platinum EG-6203 Electric Skillet is perfect for bubbling soups, handling “several packages of hamburger” ?, and frying up to 12 pieces of chicken ?. Perhaps too big for two-person meals, this big “bad boy” can accommodate large families (six to eight people) and one-pot ?recipes.
So big!
Because the skillet is “huge,” it requires a much counter space for use. One user warns others to keep any objects away from it during use in order to prevent them from touching the metal and melting. Another person reports that his skillet got so hot that it cracked the counter and melted another nearby appliance! Also, since the Elite Platinum EG-6203 Electric Skillet is so large, cooking smaller recipes in it can be tricky. Ironically, this big model has a short cord.
Although the pan has a raised honeycomb texture and marble coating nonstick surface, the manufacturer’s manual advises “seasoning” or coating the inside with a thin layer of vegetable oil before the first use. The nonstick surface seems durable, as people report no scratches or flaking after months of regular use. The pan’s spout is convenient for pouring and draining liquid. The lid fits well and covers flying grease during frying.
Doesn’t this sound half-baked?
Users note frustrating contradictions for cleaning methods with the Elite Platinum EG-6203 Electric Skillet. The item’s online description states it’s “fully immersible” and dishwasher-safe with the temperature control removed; however, the manual and the label under the skillet say it’s not “fully immersible.” People describe the pan as easy to clean by hand washing in warm soapy water. Nonetheless, the fact that this model isn’t truly submersible and dishwasher-safe is disappointing to some.

Users feel the Presto 11-inch Electric Skillet with Glass Cover is worth “every cent of its purchase price” and “surpasses expectations.” We read declarations of plans to purchase this model again in the future.
First
This skillet heats up quickly and evenly over its entire cooking surface (important for making pancakes ?and crepes as well as browning meat) without any cold or overly hot spots. One owner cooked fried chicken ? “as a test case” and reports that each piece was cooked evenly.
On the other hand
A few users state the Presto 11-inch Electric Skillet with Glass Cover does have a hot ring directly over the heating element that’s noticeable when simmering sauces or gravy. But the difference isn’t so extreme and many chalk it up to a normal heat pattern: high heat in a loop on the skillet’s bottom. As expected, the sides don’t cook as well as the middle bottom does.
Second
The Presto 11-inch Electric Skillet with Glass Cover maintains an even and constant temperature. However, a couple people noted the skillet doesn’t simmer well because it rises up to the target temperature, shuts off, and then turns back on again “with vigor” to re-attain the target temperature, only to switch off again. Also, the maximum 400°F setting doesn't seem to be hot enough for some users but fine for others. A few say the skillet is too hot for the countertop and the temperature control knob heats up uncomfortably.
Third
Several owners remark that the Presto 11-inch Electric Skillet with Glass Cover has a flat bottom and level base; when used on an even surface, it prevents pooling of liquid like oil or batter for efficient cooking. The skillet can be used to cook many different dishes like stovetop lasagna, grilled cheese ?, steaks ?, bacon ? (all of which benefit from a flat, level surface), macaroni and cheese, caramelized beans, and (with an internal rack sold separately) steamed crab legs ?. A few people report uneven cooking after several months.
The Presto 11-inch Electric Skillet with Glass Cover has a nonstick surface and requires little oil for cooking. In terms of durability, a few users see chips in the nonstick coating within nine months to a year; others say they’ve “constantly” cooked in it longer (e.g., two years) without any complaints. One person notes that after almost five years, she notices that ingredients stick in the area above the heating coil where the nonstick coating has worn.
This is interesting…
The Presto 11-inch Electric Skillet with Glass Cover has as a side pour spout which also works well as a spoon rest and a vent. The vent prevents the glass lid from fogging up, but also perhaps allows steam to escape too rapidly; sometimes this leads to moisture evaporating too quickly and ingredients burning if not closely monitored. The sturdy lid actually shattered during and after use for several people. Several users wish the cord were longer and thicker; many note there’s black sooty residue on the outside of the base.
Dirt be gone!
In terms of clean-up, the Presto 11-inch Electric Skillet with Glass Cover is a “super easy” “breeze” to wash. Simply unsnap the base, detach the temperature control, and put the skillet into the dishwater. If you prefer washing it by hand, just use warm water, a little dish soap, and a soft cloth or sponge and wipe–no need for soaking or scrubbing. The pan (sans base and temperature control, of course), is fully immersible.
A bit of advice
This model’s modest size is suitable for two people or for use in a small space away from home (e.g., on a boat ⛵). It stores easily, with the base folding up and–with the temperature control–fitting inside the skillet. Numerous experienced owners highly recommend placing a towel inside the pan in order to protect the nonstick surface from scratching. Tuck the power cord into the skillet, flip the lid upside down, and it becomes a compact item that doesn’t take up much storage space.
A final note
Many owners praise this electric skillet manufacturer’s customer service. ?

Analogized to the “Lexus of Toyota,” the Japanese ?? Zojirushi EP-RAC50 Gourmet d'Expert 1350-Watt Electric Skillet earns rave reviews ?. Owners enthusiastically praise this “excellent,” “beautiful,” “solidly made,” and “well-designed” model that’s pricey but well worth the cost. In addition to its high quality, this skillet comes with two cooking plates–a deep pan and a flat plate–as well as a vented steamer. Once you learn how to utilize each piece, you’ll realize that this single unit actually serves as a few different appliances.
So what does this mean?
Incredibly versatile, Zojirushi EP-RAC50 Gourmet d'Expert 1350-Watt Electric Skillet can be used to prepare hash browns, tortillas, pancakes ?, okonomiyaki (savory Japanese pancake), bacon ?on the plate; soup ?and shabu-shabu (hot pot) in the deep pan; and shrimp ?, vegetables, and buns in the steamer. Users also list a myriad of other mouth-watering dishes ranging from hamburgers ?, macaroni, pork (chops, belly, pulled) to gyoza (dumplings) ?, Korean barbeque short ribs, beef tongue, and more.
And get this
The multiple pieces also are multifunctional in the overall meal preparation process. For example, you can use the plate and pan simultaneously with a little culinary choreography. First cook Recipe #1 (e.g., sweet and sour chicken ?in one vessel); when it’s done, remove the piece and place it on the stovetop to stay warm. Then cook Recipe #2 (e.g., beef broccoli ?) in the other unused vessel; when this dish is done, remove it and voilà–serve both recipes at the same time in their respective cookware.
Is it hot enough?
With an easily operated and responsive adjustable heat control, the Zojirushi EP-RAC50 Gourmet d'Expert 1350-Watt Electric Skillet heats up evenly and quickly to maintain a consistent, well-distributed temperature ?. When making hot pot, though, several users feel the unit takes “a while” to heat up to higher degrees and boil. They notice that when they add refrigerated or near frozen items to the deep pan (on the hottest setting) filled about ¾ with boiling liquid, it doesn’t heat up enough to return to a “high rolling boil” but simmers at most.
It’s not cut and dried…
Another quirk of the Zojirushi EP-RAC50 Gourmet d'Expert 1350-Watt Electric Skillet is that the bottoms of the pan and plate aren’t completely flat; each has a “light curve” or arch in center that allows excess fats to drain away…but also requires using more oil to compensate for oil running from the middle and gathers at the edges. Also, cooking runny foods (e.g., eggs, pancakes) can be tricky because the middle of the pan is slightly higher than the edges of the pan, resulting on runny food pooling at the sides.
Large and deep, the Zojirushi EP-RAC50 Gourmet d'Expert 1350-Watt Electric Skillet pan is suitable for a “decent size” family of several people. This ample vessel can accommodate cuisines like Shabu-shabu and multiple chicken breasts with vegetables. Some owners feel this unit overall can be a bit large to store easily.
This is interesting
What people do like is the Zojirushi EP-RAC50 Gourmet d'Expert 1350-Watt Electric Skillet’s unique electrical cord attachment ?. Designed for safety, the cord connects to the unit’s base with a magnet. Therefore, if someone trips over the cord, it detaches from the unit (instead of pulling it over), the skillet stays in place, and no scorching food goes flying to burn innocent bystanders and create a big hot mess.
The Zojirushi EP-RAC50 Gourmet d'Expert 1350-Watt Electric Skillet is durable. We read reports of owners using it 18 months, two years, and more without any problems. Although the nonstick surface is easy to scratch, the appliance operates well for at least a couple of years.
Easy as one, two, three
The removable pan, plate, steamer, and lid are light as well as easy to clean and wipe dry. Clean the outside of the unit as well as the internal heating plate by wiping them down The Zojirushi EP-RAC50 Gourmet d'Expert 1350-Watt Electric Skillet isn’t dishwasher safe but most owners don’t mind.

Owners “love” ❤using the Cuisinart CSK-250WS GreenGourmet 14-Inch Nonstick Electric Skillet, which isn’t low-priced but well worth the expense. First of all, people seeking healthy nonstick cookware feel some peace of mind ?with Cuisinart Ceramica nonstick, a petroleum-free, ceramic-based cooking surface free of PTFE or PFOA. This non-Teflon coated workhorse is “excellent” and allows food to “slide around.” This nonstick coating seems fairly durable; we read a couple reports of the coat peeling within six months yet more accounts of it lasting at least one to two years.
What can it do?
The versatile Cuisinart CSK-250WS GreenGourmet 14-Inch Nonstick Electric Skillet fries, sears, simmers, griddles, and braises with little or no oil or butter. Heating up quickly and evenly (with no hot or cold spots), this model browns meat rapidly and can cook a variety of dishes including hash browns, eggs ?, French toast, fried chicken?, chuck roast, Southern fried corn ?, turnip roots, asparagus, mushroom soup ?, and more.
Attractive enough to use as a serving dish, the Cuisinart CSK-250WS GreenGourmet 14-Inch Nonstick Electric Skillet keeps food warm for 20 minutes after being unplugged. A few users feel it takes “long time” to cool down as well as “a while” to heat up.
How about this?
The “roomy” Cuisinart CSK-250WS GreenGourmet 14-Inch Nonstick Electric Skillet has high sides and is deep enough for simmering spaghetti sauce ?, chili, and soups as well as stir-frying ingredients. Users find it large enough to cook for a big family or a party as well as doubling recipes, which is great for dividing and freezing for future meals. This large model needs ample storage space.
Its heavy lid has a vent hole that’s too small for many users’ tastes. One person suggests tilting the lid a bit in order to relieve the extra moisture and pressure.
Easy peasy
The manufacturer does not recommend cleaning the Cuisinart CSK-250WS GreenGourmet 14-Inch Nonstick Electric Skillet in the dishwasher, but many users feel it doesn’t need dishwashing anyway. Simply wiping out the pot or washing it with warm soapy water, and a non-abrasive cloth is sufficient.

The Nesco ES-12 Extra Deep Electric Skillet is a great value and several consumers declare they’ll buy a second one without hesitation.
Really, why?
This versatile unit heats evenly and quickly with good temperature control. It cooks sausages, eggs ?, grilled cheese ?, fried chicken ?, chile rellenos, pork chops, sauces, chili, and steamed vegetables (with included rack). In fact, the rack creates a dry cooking area for baking a small batch of cookies ?, biscuits, or rolls. Unfortunately, the manual states the skillet isn’t designed for deep frying.
The little engine that could ?
The Nesco ES-12 Extra Deep Electric Skillet’s a “little guy” but deep with 4”-high sides that reduce splattering; it can even accommodate and roast a Purdue Oven Stuffer chicken. One reviewer recommends this model as the one “must-have” cooking device for residents with small kitchens.
Easy as pie
The nonstick surface is smooth, “works well,” and makes clean-up “a snap!” Although its lid is immersible and dishwasher safe, the skillet itself isn’t immersible and dishwasher safe. No worries–users suggest wiping out any excess food with a paper towel, washing the skillet with use wet, soapy towels, and wiping the soap off with a wet towel before drying it completely.

Reviewers report making a range of dishes including eggs ?, pancakes ?, burgers ?, refried beans, rice ?, biscuits, meatballs, crumbled meat, homemade tortillas, pork chops, chicken ?, quiche, and more.
Problem? Solved.
While most users report the Aroma Housewares AFP-1600S Gourmet Series Stainless Steel Electric Skillet heats up fast and evenly, several noted the skillet heats more “in a ring” and not all the way to the edges. A common workaround recommended by many cooks is to position ingredients about an inch away from the edge for sufficient heating.
Turn down the heat!
Sometimes the temperatures seem too high ?and burn ingredients or boil away liquid quickly. A couple people feel that temperature control settings (except “off”) are all very hot. Even when turned down low, the skillet stays extremely hot and can scorch food. The heat even affects the temperature control’s plastic housing; four people report smelling burning after using the skillet above 250°F and at 375°F. ?
And
The see-through, tight-fitting heavy glass lid and its stainless steel handle get very hot; two users warn future owners to use oven mitts for touching the handle as well as not placing the glass lid on a surface unable to withstand. Three people report the lid shattering for no reason during regular use and cooling for washing. ?
Is it big enough?
Large enough to cook for two to four people, the Aroma Housewares AFP-1600S Gourmet Series Stainless Steel Electric Skillet accommodates about seven medium-sized chicken breasts.

Here’s some good advice:

While both appliances have their own heating source, they differ in design. An electric skillet has sides for containing ingredients and a lid for cover. An electric griddle, on the other hand, is a flat surface without sides (perfect for frying and flipping pancakes, crepes, and the like) that uses no lid.
Barring an electricity outage or a damaged unit, a common situation with a simple fix is that the temperature controller isn’t inserted far enough into the skillet’s socket. Check the temperature controller’s placement and make sure it’s firmly inserted into the skillet’s side. Do this before plugging the other end of the cord into an electrical outlet. Then adjust the temperature control to the heat level you need.
