I have a Farberware electric skillet that needs the grease and gunk removed from the bottom. I cannot soak it because it is electrical. What on earth can I use to get all this baked on grease off?

You might try using - now this sounds weird, but it works - "Shout" Laundry Spray. It really dissolves cooked, hardened grease. You might have to let it soak for a bit. I've use it on my stove to get that stubborn brown grease that has been heated. Careful how you spray it on your electric appliance and clean off the residue with a little water and cloth. Hope it works for you.
I have had great success with this. Put plain water in your skillet while cool. Turn on the skillet and as the water boils gently scrape the bottom of the pan with a temperature safe plastic spatula. After you have loosened the particles carefully unplug it and empty it into your sink.
Easy Off oven cleaner should do the job. I've used it on my cookware and it does a great job.
Regular oven cleaner does not do well on aluminum. It discolors it. I am looking for the spray that is especially made for aluminum so that I can clean my toaster oven.
Barkeeper's Friend works well also. It might need a little elbow grease to go with it though. I'm thinking the Easy Off would be a good choice also.
Hi, I have the same electric skillet and I love it. I clean the bottom outside with Awesome. I get this at the 99 cent store. I spray it on, let it sit a couple of minutes and then lightly scrub with a non scratch cleaning pad. It cleans it with hardly any effort. I clean the bottom inside with a paper towel to remove any grease.
I would check the bottom of that pan and manufacturer's instructions. My Lifetime stainless electric is soaking right now. Look for "fully immersible". Many electrics are.
I add some salt to the bottom and let it sit for about 5 minutes, add water and bring it to a boil, lower to simmer and scape gook off the bottom with a spatula. Easiest way I have found for the worst (burned on gravy).
Another point: If you're cleaning the outside of the skillet, it's a lot easier if you remove the handles first. They're usually attached with just screws.
