rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author PattyTherre - When I received this wok as a gift, I assumed I would use it a couple of times a year if that. After all, we rarely make Asian food at home. However, I quickly discovered that a wok isn't just for making traditional Asian food. We use our wok for almost...

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author janwinatl - This product won't heat in timely manner (takes forever), as a Rival is a embarrassment, and resembles a crock pot more than an electric skillet. I plan to abandon trying stirfry dinners (as this evening was the first time to try the pan after the...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author vettecityman01 - Having gone through several electric skillets in the past, mostly cheap ones from local discount stores like Wal-Mast and K-Mart, I saw this skillet in an advertisement at Kohl's. This skillet was offered for sale on their "black Friday" after...

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author cgirard - We had this skillet for just over two years of minimal use which is the extent of the warranty period. Guess what?, it just stopped working. Do not buy this unit. The bottom heating plate gets too hot if you want to use the top unit and...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bablondie25 - I fell in love with electric skillets when my mother-in-law had bought me one for Christmas one year. I used it like crazy. It was a high-quality square one and stainless steel (no non-stick coating) and I was just thrilled with it. Nothing would stick...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ma_picard - I received this electric griddle for Christmas a few years ago, and it has become irreplaceable in my appliance lineup. I use it at least once a week for lunch or dinner, and it has cut my meal preparation time considerably. The large non-stick...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author paulbecker - This product has some satisfactory features, e.g., the lid fits and has a vent. The big problem is the temperature control probe. After only two months of use, the probe fails to maintain contact unless you manually hold it in tightly. In other...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jrawcli2 - The close temperature control it affords I find invaluable. The capacity is good for a large family. I bought it for quantity catering over 4 years ago, and the fact that you can throw it in the dishwasher (minus removable electrics of course). The down...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author daleb - We purchased this wok with our primary objective being to stir fry veggies and maybe more. I was sold on the idea of a submersible cooking element for ease of cleaning, as well as complete temperature control. Breville provides both and then some,...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author diwbooks - I have used electric skillets for many years and my old one was starting to stick so I purchases this one. I noticed the problem immediately but living an hour from the store I didn't return it. Now it's too late to return and I am online searching for...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author michaeljh - I didn't object to assembling the two leg sets (only four screws), and it is an attractive appliance. But it failed to perform to any reasonable expectation. First the thermostatic control ran close to 100 degrees above the setting, and over several...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author xyzwyatt - I purchased this skillet a year ago during one of my spending sprees. I had no real use for it but the price was right, so I got it. I figured it would be nice to have for days when the stove burners were full. What it Looks Like This is a...
