Customer Ratings:

Well I will say I originally wanted a skillet of this size, which aren't made in too many brands. My first venture was with the one of this size with glass lid made by presto, I quickly returned it due to the non stick coating coming off after only a few uses. This one made by Food Network is the one I turned to to replace it. So far I have had it for 3-4 months and use it frequently, and have had no problems at all with it. The non stick coating is nothing like the presto brand, it is of a much higher quality and has someone of a micro waffle texture. It seems because of that, the coating is smooth and consistent across the whole thing making it stand up to spatulas and cleaning without any coating flaking off what so ever! This is what I especially love, because that was my main problem with the presto one. The design is nice and feels extremely sturdy. The legs have a rubber bottoms on the feet so it will not scoot around on the counter while cooking either unlike the presto. If you notice in the pictures and the description there is a little cut out in the pan so that you can pour off grease or other liquids. This was my only main concern when purchasing this skillet. I was afraid if it had an air vent that large, when I was simmering something using the lid, it wouldn't be air tight like you would think it needs to be. I have made many things in it sense that needed to sit and simmer in their juices and steam, and this vent has not been an issue at all. I don't know how exactly but even though it lets out a bit of the steam, the food is just like it would be if the hole weren't there. I do only have one issue with it, but it is simple to overcome. It is a little difficult to see the temperature gauge when it is plugged into the unit. To fix this all I do is turn it to the temperature I want before I plug it into the unit and then when ready, plug the other end into the wall. Besides that little issue, it is a great skillet, extremely large! Very nice!

I just bought this skillet at Kohl's and will be returning it tomorrow. While generous in size, it is impossible to read the temperature control once it's plugged in -it is totally hidden by the skillet handle. Pictures accompanying the skillet (on the box and recipe book included) show a different view from what you get. Seems the handles have moved away from the skillet and now cover the control. Very disappointed.
