Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Oster 3001 12-Inch Electric Frying Pan
Customer Review: Best thing I've bought in a long long time
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm renting a small room and do not have access to a kitchen, and up until I got this electric cooker I've been living out of a microwave. Now I eat steaks pretty regularly.
Things I love about it:
The glass top- watch your food cook
The temp dial- as opposed to just a High/Medium/Low like on some other cookers I've seen, I like to be able to control my cooking more closely. I don't know if Oster made improvements or other reviewers keep their hands coated in paint thinner, but I haven't had any trouble with the writing on the dial rubbing off and I've been using it probably twice daily for a month or more now.
The tilt feature- lots of different uses, let water/juices/grease etc flow to one side or keep foods from mixing while they cook
The non-stick coating- its great, I haven't found anything yet that wouldn't come off with a paper towel after cooking
The vent at the top- I've seen other reviewers freaking out about the vent being part of the top's handle. I have zero problems with it and I have big hands. Here's a hint, don't point it towards you. I love it because I keep this on a table by a window with the vent pointed out and out everything goes.
The heating element- It gets hot pretty fast
Not so great things:
The cord is really short- rather irrelevant to me though as I have it plugged into a power strip along with some other cooking stuff that live near it (blender, toaster, fan etc), but yeah, the cord is really short. Maybe three feet. It doesn't even reach the floor with the unit sitting right on the edge of the table.
The edges- they slop outwards as you can see in the picture, it would have been nice if they had a bit of a lip or something where the top sits so its easier to scoop out things like fried rice or scrambled eggs. I get around this issue though, its a small gripe.
Basically like my subject line says, this is the greatest purchase I've made in a while. Not only can I cook great meals in them, I'm eating way healthier because I'm not on a permanent diet of microwavable food, and I save tons of money because I'm not always eating out to escape my permanent diet of microwavable food. I honestly don't know what the difference between this and a more expensive cooker would be, but this does everything I could want to a tee so I don't see any reason to pay fifty or a hundred bucks.
