Electric Skillets - Versatile and Beneficial

Electric skillets have been around for decades and they are still popular today.  Very few other appliances can offer the same benefits and versatility.  You can cook a tasty one dish meal, your entree or a side dish in them.  They also are great for frying foods that don't require a lot of oil.  Electric Skillets are especially helpful for the elderly or disabled, you can cook your food while sitting right at the kitchen table.

One of my favorites is the West Bend Electric Skillet.  It's very moderately priced, yet is loaded with good features.  It has a non-stick interior for easy cleaning, it is also dishwasher safe with the temperature control unit removed.  The deep skillet and high dome lid make it ideal for cooking larger foods such as chicken or roasts.  Made from die-cast aluminum, it heats quickly, but, the exterior stays cool to the touch.  The handles are heat resistant and the cooking surface measures 12" x 12".

From Hamilton Beach, their Non-Stick Electric Skillet is a very versatile appliance.  The temperature control unit has settings that vary from warming up to 400F.  With 1500 Watts of power, it heats quickly and evenly.  This fine skillet also has a non-stick interior and is made from die-cast aluminium.  It has a built-in spout for pouring broth or drippings.  It has durable aluminum handles and the lid inverts inside the skillet for easy storage.
