Overview
The surf-colored Bella Make & Take Electric Skillet (model 35257) is a 12 inch square, 3 inch deep nonstick pan built around a 1200 watt cast aluminum base. It targets larger households and potluck cooks over anyone needing a small, single-serving pan.
That same locking lid clamps down for transport, so the pan doubles as a carrier for tailgates and family gatherings without a separate travel dish. First-use instructions require preheating the empty pan for 5 minutes at maximum heat, then letting it cool 15 minutes, a step worth doing before cooking anything in it.
- 12 inch square, 1200 watt skillet
- Cast aluminum base for even heat
- Locking glass lid, dishwasher-safe
- Adjustable temperature to 400F
Who it's for
Good for anyone regularly cooking family portions or hauling food to potlucks who wants storage efficiency alongside cooking capacity. Not ideal if you need the pan's full listed 3 inch depth for something like a deep casserole, since one reviewer's unit ran shallower.
Pros and cons
- Locking lid frees cabinet space when stored
- Large surface suits family-sized batches
- Heats evenly per multiple reviewer accounts
- Doubles as a secure transport container
- Depth may measure shorter than the listed 3 inches
- Cord storage method doesn't match instructions for some
- Requires preheat/cooldown before first cook
