I agree as long as it gets it hot enough it should work. I am having similar issues since I decided to can at home instead of hauling everything to the commercial kitchen I usually use, that was different kind of pain. I was going to try an induction burner a friend got for me but will have read how it works. The other day trying to make jam waiting and waiting for canner to boil so I could load it, the dumb thing was on the side ridge so wasn't good making contact. someday I will have a nice canning kitchen with a 10 burner stove. kim

My electric skillet broke and I just replaced it with a Rival electric griddle that has 2 sides with separate temperature controls. I haven't had a chance to try it yet. I used the electric skillet mainly for eggs, french toast and pancakes so I decided that the griddle would suit my needs better. What would she be cooking in the skillet? If it's used mainly for breakfast, I'd consider a griddle instead. I have the room so I keep my skillet/griddle on the countertop all the time. It is used at least once every day or every other day.

I have had several electric skillets in 58 years of marriage, Food Network brand was tops but tried to use it this past weekend and it was not making connection correctly as the pug in is shot. Trying to locate another one and can't. This skillet was 21 inches long by 13 wide. Love it. I got my money worth but need another one now. It was a no stick and it was prefect in that department. Anyone know where I can purchase another.? I have checked Penney's. Bed Bath and Beyond, Macy's, Belk, Amazon and Kohl's, no one has any as large as this one or the brand.

I used to use my mom's skillet from the 50s but the cord started getting hot when using it so I figured I needed to replace it. I bought a Rival from Kohl's for about $30 on sale. It works totally fine, but I only use it occasionally (when I actually fry in oil). I don't know what else to use it for. If you have more suggestions please let me know! Nicole
