Don't count on it for good ole fried chicken
Although this is a fine product to use instead of a nonstick pan on the stove top don't confuse it for an electric fry pan. I made a deal with my mom, I would get her a new electric fry pan to replace hers of 40 years and she would make me a nice fried chicken and dumpling dinner. The nonstick surface does not brown like the old fry pans did. It is very light weight. So much so that I was completely surprised upon opening it and I remembered right away that old saying about "if a pan is too light it's not a good pan". Sadly after spending $50.00 on this item I'm out shopping again for, yup, a "real" electric fry pan. Lower your expectations and you'll be happy with this. If you are expecting to brown foods or cook like mom did, it won't happen in this electric skillet (electric fry pan it is not).
