Electric Skillet Reviews?

I would look for one with these features:

1. Can be (unplugged obviously!) and submerged to wash without damaging the electrical parts.
2. Has a clear glass lid so that you can see the contents without lifting the lid and letting steam escape.

I have a GE electric skillet(non-stick), which I've had for several years. Works fine.
Ref: the non-stick surface - just don't use metal spatulas, etc. I got a set- spatula, spoons(1 sloted, 1 regular) that are intended for non-stick surfaces.

I have had a Farberware electric frying pan ...which is completely stainless steel (without the worry of poisonous telfon coatings ) for over 20 years. They are easy to clean (filled with hot, soapy water ) and can be fully immersed in water or a dishwasher by removing the detachable plug element. I cannot rave enough about this item !

I have a Corning Ware electric skillet. The heating element goes under the flat casserole like skillet. It has a glass lid. It is easy to clean, the skillet part can go in the dishwasher. I've had it for 10 years or so and works well. One plus is the skillet part can be used in the oven also.

Had Farberward Millennium electric skillet - one of the legs fell off after a couple of years and warrantee ran out. Still use it because it is a great skillet - but every 6 months or so we have to stick one of the 3 legs back on.

Any ideas?

I had a Presto for about 15 years that worked great but it seemed to take longer to cook and the plug in heating control was starting to feel hot so I bought such a deal ceramic coated one which had a recipe chart starting at 225 degrees but the controller started at 300 degrees, then bought a Presto 16" non stick but it did fit in a cupboard well so went back to the Presto 11" non stick and hope to get years and years again, so far works great.

I am not a big electric skillet user. I have one but it was one my grandma had given to my mother and she didn't use. I have found it to be handy to take on vacations where you want to do a little cooking in your room.
