Our verdict

A cast aluminum electric skillet with a removable heat control and a ceramic nonstick coating that can go under the tap. The listing gives no temperature range for the control, only a count of settings.

Overview

A removable Control Master heat control plugs into the skillet base and holds whatever cooking temperature you set, maintaining it automatically. The pan itself is heavy cast aluminum with a ceramic nonstick coating inside and out, topped by a high-dome cover that gives room for roasting.

Roasting, frying, stewing and baking in one countertop pan is the argument for this skillet, and the high-dome cover plus tall sidewalls are what make a whole roast or a one-dish meal possible. Cleanup is simple because the whole pan goes under water once the control is pulled out. The limitation is the ceramic nonstick itself, which the maker says needs no scouring and so should never get it.

Who it's for

Kitchens short on burners, holiday cooking overflow and anyone feeding a family from one lidded pan on the counter. Those who need a precise temperature readout should not buy it; the control works through a fixed set of settings and the listing gives no range.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Ceramic nonstick, PFAS free
  • Fully immersible with control removed
  • Heavy cast aluminum base resists warping
  • High-dome cover for roasts
Cons
  • Temperature range not listed
  • Nonstick surface rules out scouring pads
  • Heat control must come off before washing

Performance notes

Cooking results hinge on the heat control, which holds the setting you choose automatically, so a fry or stew stays at one heat instead of climbing. The heavy cast aluminum base is described as virtually warp-proof, so the floor of the pan stays flat, and the high-dome cover traps moisture for roasting and baking. The ceramic coating gives stick-free cooking, which is also why it cleans without scouring.
