A must-have for any busy kitchen, this family size 12 in. square electric skillet comes in handy for anything from pancakes and bacon in the morning to grilled cheese sandwiches for lunch or beef stroganoff for dinner. Simply insert the variable temperature probe and turn the dial to adjust the heat for simmering, browning, frying, grilling, searing, sauteing, or slow cooking just about anything. It also offers a ""warm"" setting to keep food at an ideal serving temperature without over-cooking. The unit provides fast heat-up times and thorough heat distribution, while its non-stick coating helps promote lower fat cooking (no need for butter or oils) and ensures effortless food release of even the most delicate foods. Other highlights include extra deep 3 in. walls to keep the food contained when stirring, a unique tilt leg that drains grease away from food as it cooks for healthier results, a glass lid with a cool-touch handle and steam vent, and heat-resistant side handles for safely transporting the skillet from the kitchen counter to the table for use as a serving dish. With the temperature control removed, the skillet and lid can be fully immersed for easy cleaning by hand or in the dishwasher. A user manual with recipes comes included.
