I got this skillet and it is GREAT!! I am totally amazed with the even heating, the entire skillet is entirely hot, no cold spots like the old timey electric skillets where the heat is only concentrated where the heating element is. I LOVE this skillet!! It got some negative reviews on QVC but that is because those people didn't push the temperature probe in far enough. All they gotta do is give it a little extra push and then they will find they got a super great electric skillet at a super deal price!!!!
