Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Oster 3001 12-Inch Electric Frying Pan
Customer Review: Super Skillet
Summary: 5 Stars
I buy items a lot of the time based on reviews by other customers. If most of the reviews are negative I, as I think most people do, will not purchase such items. When I do decide to buy a product I will read some of the good reviews but mostly look and the bad reviews to see what problems these customers had with the product, and weigh those with the good ones. I generally find that a lot of the negative reviews have flaws. Anyway, about this skillet, I rate it 5 stars. The skillets' heat controller is very accurate (I measured the skillet surface with an infra-red thermometer) and the attached lever on the controller makes it very easy to remove. The skillets' glass lid has a vent by the knob which can be opened or closed which I find quite innovative. I have had no problems with the numbers wearing off the controller or the non-stick surface peeling. This skillet has a lever that will allow it to be tilted allowing excess grease and oil to accumalate to one side. This is a great feature. The lid fits the skillet quite nicely and I can spot no gaps between the skillet and lid. I highly recommed this 12" skillet to anyone who is in the market for one.Customer Review: The Cooks in Our Family Love This Skillet
Summary: 5 Stars
This is our second Oster 12 inch Glass Lid Electric Skillet 3001. The first one still works beautifully and we love it so much that we are ordering another. We use it for practically everything you can imagine cooking in a skillet. We poach salmon, fry bacon, make potroast etc. etc. etc. We love the tip feature it is great for basting eggs, the glass lid so you can keep an eye on things, the even cooking throughout the pan, the max temperature gives you searing capability, you can wipe the pan clean between cooking individual items (for example, cook your bacon, remove, cook your potatotes, remove and wipe the pan with a paper towel then cook your eggs), you can also cook burritoes to a golden brown by (thawing them and cooking them 15 mins on each side on high simmer) and both the simmer and warm are exactly what you get, all of this in one pan and for our family we will have 2 of these fabulous skillets. Thanks Oster-Catherine and familyCustomer Review: Oster Fry Pan
Summary: 5 Stars
This replaced a old Kitchen Aid fry pan that bit the dust after 20 years. We opted for this product mainly for the see-thru lid and tilt function.
We have used it several times since receiving it and are very pleased with it's control. We find that for the hot desert where we live, you want to keep the number of kitchen appliances operating at a minimum, this product accomplishes that. We have used it for many things, hamburgers, breakfast, all parts, eggs, bacon, potatos etc., it's great for hash browns.
One of the things that we noted in the previous reviews was the rather quick deterioration of the numbers for the heat control. To eliminate this problem we painted over the numbers with clear nail polish, it didn't harm the control and hopefully it will ensure continued readability of the numbers.
We expect many years of use with this product and for the price it was a great purchase.
Customer Review: Oster Electric Fry Pan
Summary: 5 Stars
I wanted a replacement, because the electric skillet I had was really heating unevenly. I read many reviews and settled on this one because of all the testimony for even heating. I was worried about the problem that everyone complained about with the numbers wearing off of the temperature select dial. I thought of a way to solve the problem. I bought a can of clear engine paint. It withstands high temperatures and is very inexpensive at Pep Boys. I covered the cord and insertion rod with foil so that the only thing that was exposed was the temperature control dial. I sprayed it with the clear engine paint out in the garage. So far, so good! I have cooked with it and the numbers on the dial have not changed.Customer Review: Oster Skillet is Awesome
Summary: 5 Stars
My new Oster 12" electric skillet is just what I wanted. My old (38 year-old) electric skillet had seen its last days! I wanted a skillet that was not too big, yet provided the features I was accustomed to in my old one...temperature control easy to regulate, easy clean-up, and reliability. The Oster fits the bill. I especially like the glass top so I can see what is cooking. Also, the quick release plug is a great addition. I recommend this skillet to anyone who is looking for a functional, yet attractive addition to his/her kitchen. Good buy.
