A necessity for any busy kitchen, this 12-inch Oster electric skillet comes in handy in multiple ways. First, it creates additional cooking space when hosting dinner guests or the extended family during the holidays. Second, its portable design makes it simple to tote along on vacations, to potlucks, or on camping trips as an alternative to testing survival skills over an open fire. Finally, it offers an energy-efficient way to quickly cook, reheat, or warm foods - rather than turning on the oven or stovetop to simply melt cheese on a quesadilla or prepare a few pre-cooked hot dogs. The unit"s non-stick interior and exterior ensure easy food release and hassle-free cleanup, while its cool-touch handles allow for safe transport. Furthermore, its removable lid, which hinges open to spare valuable countertop space, offers a tempered-glass dome that contains heat and splatters and allows for at-a-glance monitoring of the sizzling food inside. With its quick-release adjustable temperature control removed, the electric skillet can go in the dishwasher and measures approximately 13 by 16-1/2 by 5-inch.
