Customer Review: Not useable for its intended purpose
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this skillet from a Williams Sonoma retail store on 10/10/08 and returned it on 10/11. They are a very nice store to deal with on products and accepted the return without problem. I subsequently found that there are other write-ups on this skillet on their site where it is not rated highly. I found the criticisms are just. There is a hot spot in the middle. The cooking is not even. A real test for a stainless steel skillet is cooking eggs and pancakes because the temperature must be kept at about 350 so the food sears quickly. The food basically tells you when it is ready to be turned when it releases easily with a spatula. However, even with a lot of grease (from the bacon), food sticks in this skillet. The corners are the coolest and the liquid runs to the corners leaving the middle exposed. Why did the food stick? Because of quality control issues, the temperature control allowed much too wide temperature swings. For example, when the controller was set to 350, the bacon would cook and sizzle. When the unit shut off, the bacon would no longer sizzle and would just sit there in the pan. Cooking stopped. To get the controller to turn the element back on, I had to turn the dial to the "sear" setting which is about all the way up. This was a temperature swing of several hundred degrees. I paid $239 plus tax. This made this an expensive electric skillet which had too many shortcomings to have been acceptable at any price.
