Electric skillets are essentially fry pans that require electricity. A typical electric skillet consists of a flat cooking surface, a durable lid, and insulated handles. Most electric skillets have a diameter of eight to 12 inches. They are ideal for frying, sautéing, searing, and browning food.
Nonstick: Choose an electric skillet with a nonstick, skid resistant cooking surface to prevent food from sticking.
Heft and weight: Choose an electric skillet heavy for its size to get even heat distribution and a high level of heat retention. This type of skillet is ideal for pan frying and sautéing.
Maintenance: Choose electric skillets that are dishwasher safe for fast and easy cleaning.
