De'Longhi Electric Skillet with Tempered Glass Lid, 16" X 12", Black

I spent a LOT of time reading reviews before buying this, and I'm very happy I did. We were replacing an old-fashioned skillet (the kind gramma used to use) and really liked the basic features: the heating element is effectively welded to the bottom, the pan is solid and distributes heat well, the entire unit is submersible and safe to wash, and it was solid and felt well built. This unit is all that, AND it's newer non-stick surface is a dream. It's bigger than the old one, and still heats evenly... we can simmer sauce or boil water in it, or make pancakes or eggs and have everything heat evenly, no problem. The vented glass top is a nice addition. When done, put it in the sink or dishwasher and completely clean it and just let it dry... simple as that. The heating element works exactly like the old one: easy to access & read and holds temp well (doesn't fluctuate wildly when it reaches temp). Yea it costs more than the "recommended cheap brands" but I HIGHLY recommend it!

I love cooking with an electric skillet. My previous one wasn't living up to my expectations: uneven heat, faulty thermostat and flimsy design. Enter, the De' Longhi Electric Skillet! I did my research and knew I wanted a high quality skillet that lived up to it's reviews. I'm SO HAPPY with this skillet! It maintains the heat level and cooks evenly throughout the bottom. Definitely worth the money!

Love it I think it’s overpriced but I love an electric frying pan. They’re such easy cleanup. I never put it in the dishwasher and I use silicone utensils with it. It’s just easier to cook on that because I have pets and I don’t have to worry if anyone goes in the kitchen of getting burnt that could be Cleaned immediately

I use this almost daily and I am happy with the purchase. It is well made like many other Delonghi products. The cord is not as ridiculously short as many kitchen appliances today. Also the electrical plug goes directly into the unit versus into a magnetic plug which is awful if magnet is not strong enough.The handles are sturdy and do not get hot. Nonstick surface works as it should. I like the steam escape valve and glass lid. My only complaint is that it is hard to use for simmering. At 250 degrees it boils and at 200 the heat is too low. Hence 4 stars instead of 5.

I purchased this for my Mom for her birthday and she loves it. It's a nice size as well as nice quality.UPDATE:I purchased this grill for my Mom for her birthday and she was pleased with how big it was so I decided to also purchase one for myself from Cuccinabella. THAT was a BIG mistake purchasing from them! My grill looked new but the thermostat plug obviously wasn't new! The box for the thermostat had oil on both ends AND the unit had a ding in it where you adjust the temp, not to mention the plug-in part was all discolored from being used. Upon receiving and opening the box I was very upset and contacted seller as well as Amazon to report this and requested a full refund as well as them to pay for the return shipping costs.The company wrote me back the next day stating "I am sorry to hear that. We normally ask for pictures of the item to see who was in charged of packing it the condition but we trust you are being honest so I just went ahead and issue your refund you should see it back to your card that you used to pay for the grill in 1 day. As far as the grill as a token for our mistake we will let you keep it. Again sorry for the inconvenience, we noticed that you bought another grill from us before so we wouldnt want to lose you as a customer for this mistake. Please keep the grill as a token for our mistake".I thought that was an honest attempt from the company to right a wrong. That was until the seller got caught trying to deceive me on only paying me $35 and not the TAXES and SHIPPING/HANDLING fees associated with the purchase. Total purchase cost of item, taxes, and s/h came to $51.89. Since they had to refund me yesterday for the full amount, I received a UPS mailer from them this morning now wanting the item returned. I just want to make others aware of the bad business practices, order at your own risk!

This is very nice. Good coating, the lid vents, and the electrical connection is good. Heats up fast, so I have had to adjust my cooking methods a bit. It is very large, I think a slightly smaller one would have been better for our use, but that is my fault, not the mfg or appliance. Highly recommended.Have been using for several months now and love this pan. Cooks fast, even and cleans up beautifully. Have gotten used to the large size & use it frequently. The heat controller has a very good connection, which I have found to be very flimsy in other manufacturer's products. Wish DeLonghi had more product offerings, as I would buy them in a heartbeat.

This is a nice, large electric skillet. I took my grandson to a Universal Studios Vacation in Orlando,FL.. We stayed at the resort and had a mini refrigerator in our room, but no microwave. .We could have rented one for $15 a day but I thought this was a better choice. It fits inside the smallest rolling luggage with a little room for foodstuff and a 10 foot heavy duty extension cord.around it.I made breakfast each morning to save time (and money). One wants to be up and out to the parks as early as possible and using this pan saved us a lot of time, hassle, and maybe a little money.I took precautions, as one must, not to spatter food on the flat screen TV nor burn the buffet top.The pan heats up quickly and food cooks evenly in this pan. It worked for me.

I did not receive the cookbook or the other two items that were to come with it.
