Our verdict

A compact, easy to clean skillet that handles everything from eggs to stews, with a dial that's a bit awkward to read; fine for small kitchens, not for cooking large batches.

Overview

A 12x12 inch nonstick electric skillet with a removable vented glass lid and a dial that runs from warm up to 400F, made for tasks from frying to simmering stews under the Kenmore name.

High sides and a domed glass lid let this skillet handle wetter dishes like stews and pancake batter, not just flat frying. The base and lid are both fully immersible for washing once the cord is unplugged, which is unusual for an electric skillet. A few buyers found the temperature dial partly hidden by the housing, making the current setting hard to read at a glance.

  • 12x12 inch nonstick cooking surface
  • Removable vented glass lid
  • Dial control from warm up to 400F
  • 1350 watt heating element

Who it's for

Works for anyone short on stovetop space, including dorm and small kitchen setups, who wants one pan for frying, sauteing, and simmering. Not the choice for someone who wants a large family sized cooking surface, since the plate is a compact 12x12 inches.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Nonstick surface cleans up with minimal oil
  • Fully immersible base and lid once unplugged
  • High sides handle stews, not just frying
  • Cool touch handles for moving pan to table
Cons
  • Temperature dial partly hidden, hard to read
  • One buyer's unit would not heat properly
  • A burn ring formed around the element over time

Performance notes

A 1350 watt element under the nonstick plate is controlled by a dial on the handle, running from a warm setting up to 400F. The high sided design with a vented glass lid lets it move from frying to covered simmering for stews and pancakes. Once unplugged, both the base and lid can be submerged for washing.
