Doesn't get hot enough
I bought this electric skillet at Ocean State Job Lot because I thought it was a good deal $25, but when I used it, I set the temperature for 450 degrees to fry up some eggplant, and after letting it heat up for about 20 minutes, I put three pieces of eggplant in to be fried, and it seemed to be taking forever. I kept turning them to see if they were getting brown, and they barely had brown marks on them. So I continued to wait, and after about 5 minutes, and they still weren't getting brown on the first side, I decided to take my instant read thermometer and check the temperature. I was shocked to see that it only read between 313 and 319 degrees in different spots. I quickly grabbed my stainless steel chicken fryer, and fried up the rest of the eggplant. This electric skillet is going right back to the store.
Bad Thermostat....
I bought one of these (on Black Friday, but not from Amazon), and it lasted about 2 months, then the thermostat went bad and it stuck on the hottest setting. And it doesn't take but around 1 minute to get to that "hot" temp.
I really loved it while it worked right, but its impossible to use the way it is...
I'm now searching for a different brand....
