Oster DuraCeramic Electric Skillet CKSTSKFM12W-ECO, 12-Inch, Black/Creme

My old Teflon electric skillet started flaking Teflon, so I bought this to replace it. Ceramic tiles, however, are a constant pain in the neck. Even at low temperatures, the material burns because it becomes too hot over the heat source because it is so thin. Whenever I get burns patches on my legs, I have to scrub them Also, the temperature graduations are different from those on other appliances I have seen. I am used to seeing 50 degree increments like 300, 350, etc. This has odd increments like 220, 270, 320, and When I used my Teflon model, I was able to make perfect pancakes at 350, but I've found that this one burns them at lower temperatures every single time. It wobbles and requires more than a 1/16 inch shim to make it sit on all four feet. The pancakes are stuck and tear apart.

There is, however, the possibility that it might Once you've let it cool, all you have to do is scrub it thoroughly with a washcloth or soft sponge, and you can even use soap if necessary. There has not yet been a stain that has permanently "stuck" to the article. 2) It heats up really hot really fast, and then cools down and remains warm for a while, which is nice for cooking things quickly, but not so nice to hold things warm for prolonged periods of time (a couple of 2) A cast iron skillet doesn't require you to cook at as high a temperature as an ordinary skillet. If I had a regular stainless steel skillet, I would mostly cook the food around 300 degrees Fahrenheit A 350 degree oven. I normally use a 220-degree pan for this type of cooking The 270 degree angle. I just wanted to let you know. As an avid consumer of this brand, I am very pleased with this pan, and would purchase other products from this company.

I tried to scrub the thick circle of burned-on food off of it but it just wouldn't come off. After I spent an hour cleaning green goo off my hands, I gave As an original review, I offer the following Taking this idea and reworking it would be great, but they need to do it right A little engineering here and there would be helpful. The book starts off as a novel that does not contain any sexual content The skillet should be non-stick. If you read the reviews, you will laugh at the claim that the skillet forms a black ring. On the other hand, over the course of several months, a light brown ring does appear on the skillet over the heating element, which eventually becomes darker and becomes When the ring darkens, food in that particular area starts to stick to the skillet. You can first remove the black ring from the inside by pressing it stubbornly with a soft cloth. However, eventually you will need to scrub it off, and it will be as hard to scrub as a regular pan in that space. Unlike vegetables, meat does not stick to the black ring as much as it does to any other type of food. My concern is that toxins may be leaking into the food from the damaged area of the ceramic finish in the black ring. There are two layers of coating on the skillet, and the outer layer is guaranteed free of chemicals. If you read the product descriptions carefully, you will discover that the skillet is coated with ceramic. But it doesn't guarantee any kind of protection against damage occurring to the outer layer of your coat. In the event that they could re-do the job If you engineer this so that the black ring does not form over the heating element, it would be a 5-star An item with a star rating. I should also add that I think the machine Most of my food has been cooked at the lowest temperature setting, 225, and it has cooked very rapidly at that temperature.

The first review I have written. I'm sure you know this! My trusty Presto electric skillet has been with me through various generations and replacements for several years now. decided to do something different this time instead of what I usually do. The word "impressed" does not even begin to describe my feelings. There is no item as appealing to me as this. I'm sure you know this! I am publishing this six months after it was posted. During the first two weeks, I was completely satisfied with this product. The wiser I have become as I've aged. Although they spent a lot of money on the ceramic coating, their electronics aren't any better. It is possible to burn a pancake two distinct spots under the element, whereas it will remain undone everywhere else. What's worse is that the thermostat keeps turning on and off capriciously, causing you to constantly fiddle with it in order to complete the dish you've Now it is too late to return it, so I will toss it and buy a Presto, which is what I have The outcome of the election is disappointing for me.

I have never purchased junk for a so low price. Let's take a closer look at this. I am comparing this to my earlier score of An Oster skillet covered with Teflon that has been in use for 5 years. The dimensions are the same. There are several advantages to using this product My thoughts finally came to me after considerable time of thinking. The DuraRAMic coating is excellent for both non stick and scratch resistance. All four legs were level when it was delivered. The third and final point is. There's no need to carry heavy bags. This is a very easy task The cons are Heat up time for the duraceramic coating is insanely quick. It takes 90 seconds to reach 350 degrees Fahrenheit. I would not like to take the pun, but it scorched my bacon. The two-digit number 2. There will be no turning off of the heading element. When you hit 350 degrees Fahrenheit, the temperature continues to rise. The third and final point is. Cord was short. There is a standard 2 feet cord as with all skillets in this price range, but here the cord was at a 90 deg angle. This lost 3 or 4 inches to the cord. 3.
Set the temperature to a lower level. I don't think there is. In the book, it says to simmer until it boils, then you can simmer it to The setting for the warm temperature is not available. After leaving it on simmer for several hours, the element started working. As soon as the pot started to boil, the light went out. Walking away was the right thing to do. When the timer rang 10 minutes later, I checked the food and it was quite I could not turn on the skillet again. Using 2 day shipping, I received this today (Friday) as well, which I believe is rare for Amazon prime. I ordered on Cyber Monday and it just showed up. I'm returning the pan and replacing it with a new Oster Teflon coated skillet, so there is no need to continue using this piece of trash. However, it would be nice to be able to cook food even though the food is now sticking to the skillet. While I wait for my new replacement, I can deal with that for a few days.
