Know before you buy
The skillet features a high-quality nonstick coating designed for healthier cooking. You can use significantly less oil or butter than you would with a traditional stainless steel pan, and food releases easily without sticking.
While the components are dishwasher-safe, you must first remove the temperature control probe. Once the probe is detached, the skillet base and the tempered glass lid can be placed in the dishwasher for easy cleanup.
The skillet reaches a maximum temperature of 450°F, which is sufficient for searing meats and browning vegetables. The 1500-watt heating element provides consistent heat distribution across the entire 12" x 15" surface.
The skillet uses a simple, adjustable dial for temperature control. This allows you to precisely select your heat level, giving you more versatility than preset buttons for tasks ranging from simmering sauces to high-heat frying.
Yes, the tempered glass lid is designed to sit snugly on the skillet, effectively locking in moisture and flavor while allowing you to monitor your food as it cooks without lifting the lid.
With overall dimensions of 19.25" L x 13.50" W x 7.00" H, it is a substantial appliance but remains portable due to its removable temperature probe. It is an excellent solution for travel or small kitchens where stove space is limited.
