After using my last electric skillet for almost 30 years, the surface had become very scratched and I just needed a replacement. I went for reasonable price instead of good device. I am disappointed with the Black & Decker electric skillet because it does not cook as well or as fast as my old skillet did. In fact, I would rather be using my scratched old skillet. The new one takes a long time to cook because I have to keep raising the temperature to get it to come back on. It starts out doing well but within minutes it shuts itself off, I assume to cool then come back on again. So in order to get it to keep cooking, I have to raise the temp so it will come back on and keep going. Then I have to stand over it and constantly adjust the temp. I can get the job done but not without a lot of effort. I really would not buy this again and not recommend it either.
