 George Foreman does it Again! May 01, 2010
By Bryan Carey
"Bryan Carey"
George Foreman's name is associated with quality small appliances and this electric skillet is no exception. This medium size appliance is manufactured with a non- stick cooking surface, a die- cast base, and heat resistant side handles. It looks very nice on your countertop with its black color and glass lid and it can be used to prepare many different foods.
This skillet has met and exceeded my expectations in every category. It takes only two or three minutes to reach the temperature of your choosing and the non- stick surface is so easy to clean, there is really no need to place it in a dishwasher. It is dishwasher safe if you remove the probe, but it cleans so easily, there isn't any need.
Among the many positive qualities with this electric skillet, one of the most important is its depth. Many electric skillets are shallow in design, and this severaly limits their usefulness. But this electric skillet offers plenty of depth, and that means you can use it to heat/cook foods containing liquid without any worries. The liquid won't spill, making this George Foreman Electric Skillet more versatile than most.
Another quality I like with this electric skillet is the glass lid. True, there is the added risk of breakage, but as long as you handle with care, this should not be an issue. The good thing about glass is that you can see the food as it cooks and glass makes for a more attractive appearance. With most stove- top skillets, the lids are solid metal and that means you can't see the food as it cooks. And don't worry that the lid will blow off- there is a small, round opening in the top for ventilation purposes.
George Foreman will always be known for his skill as a professional boxer, but he is eually skilled when it comes to sales of small appliances and this electric skillet is one of his best. It can be used to fry several foods at once or to keep food warm, with high walls to hold foods in place. Cleanup is a breeze and the appliance looks very attractive on most any kitchen counter. Could there be anything bad to say about this appliance? Not that I can see, and this makes it one of the best small appliances I have purchased in a long time.

This skillet is great! Mar 27, 2010
By Dana R. Baggett
Many other non-stick skillets reviewed here seem to have problems of one kind or another. When I bought this one, there were no reviews but I have two other George Foreman products - one is an outdoor grill and the other is an indoor classic double-sided Foreman grill that really works well - so I decided to give this one a shot. I'm glad I did! It works very well. The temperature control seems accurate, it really does take just a minute to clean up, whatever you are cooking doesn't stick - and the see-through glass cover is very handy for watching items cook that require the lid to be on. It is generously sized and relatively light weight.
Finally, it was about half the price of some others I considered. What's not to like?

 Does an OK job Apr 27, 2011
By abstolze2
I gave this skillet 3 stars because it's just OK. It heats up quickly and gets very hot (almost too hot). When the thermostat shuts off the heat, whatever you are cooking stops cooking and then continues when the heat comes back on. Simmering is almost non-existent.
The non-stick surface is good (no problems). Clean up is fairly easy considering this skillet is non-submersible in water.
If I had known these things, I probably wouldn't have bought it.

satisfied owner Feb 11, 2011
By M. Masten
I received this skillet for Christmas. this is my first electric skillet though I have used my moms in the past.
I really like this skillet. It is a large size which allows me to cook larger meals with out having to use the oven. I use it a loot for browning meat, making breakfast (pancakes cooking bacon/sausage, eggs, But my favorite use is for pasta meals I start by preparing the sauce in the skillet, i brown the meat in a separate pan add it and once the noodles are done drain them and add as well. The skillet is large enough to mix it all around (adding pasta to the sauce is a great way to prevent clumping vs keeping separate)with out creating a mess and helps keep it warm for seconds!

 Inconsistent heating Sep 29, 2011
By mdpooh
There are many things I really like about this frying pan; the size, the non-stick surface, but I have to agree with some other reviews about the inconsistent heating. I've used electric frying pans for 40 years and have never had this problem. There is no way to simmer foods. Either the heat is on or it's off. This makes it hard to leave the house while preparing something like sauce or chili, which need to slowly simmer for several hours. This would be a great product if this aspect could be improved.
