OVENTE SK11112B Electric Skillet 11.5 Inch

Overview

A dorm room, office kitchenette or crowded holiday counter gains an extra burner with this electric pan. Turn the knob to the heat you want, wait for the indicator light, and cook under the glass lid while the cool touch handles let you carry it to the table.

Steady thermostatic heat in a portable pan makes it useful for eggs, stir fry or chili when the stovetop is full. Cleanup is a wipe with a damp cloth once the plate cools, and the listing gives no capacity for planning larger batches.

Who it's for

Small kitchens and overflow cooking days get a plug in pan that moves to wherever an outlet is. Large families cooking big batches may outgrow the pan size quickly.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

Heat comes from a plate under the aluminum pan, and the thermostat cycles it to stay near the knob setting, so cold food added in bulk drops the temperature until it recovers. Leaving the lid on traps steam for braising, while cooking uncovered lets moisture escape for searing.
