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...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author norris3333 - After only using it a few times, the non-stick coating blistered in places and came off in the food. I wrote Rival two months ago and still havent heard back. Also, it has hot spots and doesn't cook evenly...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author heuchera - I'm a little late in writing this one, as I received this wok several Christmases ago. I use this every time I make Chinese. It's a heavy, sturdy unit with a wonderful, no-stick surface. I like it because I can run it at a high temperature for all my...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author avanti80 - Very disappointing purchase, not up to the standards I've come to expect from Rival. Food sticks, heating is uneven, thermostat is useless, now the bottom has begun to buckle (certainly not due to high heat!). Might make an interesting flower...

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author ccrow - I bought this last spring because I needed a large capacity pan, and I had used an electric skillet a lot in the past. It works fine, but the coating is all coming off over the heating element. That whole area is noticeably silvery looking as opposed to...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author skyebluewater - My daughter bought this Rival non-stick electric skillet for me because I had remarked that I liked the design, so she saw it on sale one day and bought it home. That's about all that's great about it. The only way I can get enough heat to cook...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author twilighttime - I purchased this skillet after my venerable old West-Bend model died after 15 years of faithful service. Is it just me, or has the quality of most electric skillets REALLY gone downhill lately? Granted they still cost about the same amount they did way...
