Add an extra cooking surface to your kitchen without taking up too much space! This electric gourmet sizzler works for any meal from breakfast to dinner. Heat settings range from 280 to 480 degrees with a keep warm function. The 13.7-in. surface is nonstick and has a dual-circular heating surface for more efficient cooking. There's even a tempered glass lid that's perfect for reducing splatters, holding in heat and moisture and retaining flavor. Stores easily when not in use.

Summary: Electric skillet with good safety features.
Comment: In my experience, the manufacturer, Zojirushi, makes well-designed products with one or more innovative features that set their products apart from others. In this case the safety features stand out.
This large skillet comes in five pieces. The glass lid, the durable skillet with its titanium ceramic coating, the hot plate base, the plastic base in which everything else fits, and the temperature control plug. Everything comes apart for easy cleaning, so even though there is a large gap between the skillet and the base (otherwise it would melt) spills clean easily.
Because there is a large insulating base, you don't need to worry about damaging your counter tops even though the skillet heats up to 480 degrees. The plug cannot be inserted into the hot plate base unless the skillet is in position on top of the hot plate, and once it is plugged in the skillet locks in place. In other words, it is impossible to expose the hot plate while hot unless you specifically circumvent the safety features.
The unit comes with a little metal spatula, so yes, you can use metal utensils on the non-stick surface. The temperature gauge takes a little algebra to figure out, but the dots are set at 40 degree intervals starting from 280 up to 480 with a somewhat vague area labeled WARM.
The surface is large enough to cook and entire breakfast for one. Three medium sized pancakes... a batch of french toast... hash browns on one side and scrabbled tofu on the other. Just make sure your coffee pot isn't plugged into the same outlet or your could trip a fuse.
I also use the skillet for dinners, stir-fries and such. Because of the two-handle design and flat surface, two utensils and a little patience are required to scoop loose food out. I also fry up batches of chickpea cutlets, eight at a time, so I imagine one could fit quite a few cuts of meat together.
When I'm done, I let the unit cool, wash it up and store it in a large space underneath my counters. A full kitchen might have trouble accommodating the skillet, so a few pots and pans might need to be thrown out. Who needs them, anyway?
All in all, this skillet has alienated my electric stove. I use the stove for baking and for sauces but everything else goes into my sizzler.

Summary: disappointed, the non stick surface flaked off!
Comment: After just a few uses the surface started to flake off. I contacxted Zojirushi, and was told to return it to Zojirushi (I paid the shipping, $28.40), it was "repaired" and again after just a few uses, it PEELED off. I followed all the instructions and was very particular with it, but... I have several other Zojirushi products that I am happy with, but this one was a big disappointment.

Summary: UTTERLY FANTASTIC!!!
Comment: Ditto to all of the raves on here! I use it for one-dish meals, desserts, breakfasts, everything. My child in college heats frozen pizzas in it, having no oven!
Clean-up takes 60 seconds. It slides apart into four parts, three of them washable: pan, lid, silicone base, and the heating element (not washable, but also not soiled). It's the perfect appliance!
I'm headed out to buy the taller d'Expert, to make soup!

Summary: I love this skillet!
Comment: Well, I needed to replace my old skillet that died. After hearing about the horrors of Teflon and other non-stick coatings that can come off and toxify foods, I conducted research into alternatives. I could not be happier with the titanium ceramic surface of this skillet! I use it all the time and with metal utensils, and it looks just like new. It is soooo easy to just wipe clean. It all disassembles easily so cleaning is not a problem. I saw in another review that there was a crevice food could fall into and not be reachable and I'm thinking that person must not realize it all comes apart. I love the size -- just a little larger than most others. I highly recommend this skillet!!!

Summary: BIG
Comment: This seems to be a great unit. So far it cleans well without chipping, which was my biggest concern when ordering. One small problem is that there is a space between the cooking unit and the base unit which allows food to spill through.
The biggest concern I have to pass on is that this unit is really BIG. The description mentions that the cooking surface is 13.7", but does not mention that the base unit is 18.5" wide, so make sure you have a space to store it. I had to store mine in my oven.
