Overview
Ostba's 12 inch square electric skillet holds 5.2 quarts in a 2.15 inch deep nonstick pan, built to fit a whole chicken or four large steaks at once. A 1500W cast aluminum base and 5-level dial (122 to 428 F) give it enough range for simmering, searing, or keeping food warm.
The pan uses a ceramic titanium nonstick coating rather than PTFE, and the temperature control lives on a removable probe that unplugs from the pan for hand washing. That probe is also where one reviewer ran into trouble: theirs was stiff to plug in and quit working after a single use. The glass lid has no drain holes or heat-resistant tabs, so pouring off grease means lifting it off entirely.
- 12x12 inch square surface, 2.15 inch deep
- 5.2 quart capacity
- Ceramic titanium nonstick coating, PTFE and PFOA free
- 5-level dial from 122 F to 428 F
Who it's for
Works for families cooking a full meal in one pan, and its compact footprint suits dorms, RVs, and camping trips where a full-size range is not an option. Skip it if you specifically want a lid built for draining without removal.
Pros and cons
- Cooks a full meal for 2-4 people
- Nonstick surface releases food with minimal scrubbing
- Heats evenly with no burning at high settings
- Compact enough for campers and dorm kitchens
- One buyer's control probe failed after one use
- Lid has no drain holes or heat-resistant tabs
Performance notes
The 1500W element sits under a cast aluminum base, and the 5-level dial steps between 122 F and 428 F for keep-warm, simmer, saute, sear, and fry settings.

Frequently asked questions
How big is the Ostba 12x12 electric skillet's cooking surface?
It measures 12 by 12 inches with a 2.15 inch deep profile and holds 5.2 quarts, enough for a whole chicken or four large steaks.
Can I wash the Ostba skillet in a dishwasher?
The listing describes hand cleaning only: wipe with a damp cloth or wash with warm soapy water after removing the power probe.
Does the glass lid on this skillet have vents for draining?
No. A reviewer noted the lid lacks drain holes and heat-resistant tabs, so liquid has to be poured off by lifting the whole lid.
