Overview
A family cook or host feeding a crowd gets a large round pan with high sidewalls that roasts, fries, grills, stews and bakes. A tempered glass cover with a stay-cool handle lets it double as a buffet server.
Extra cooking area and high sides handle roasts, stews and bakes in one appliance, and the cover turns it into a server at the table. The limit is storage and counter space for a pan this size.
Who it's for
Large households and entertainers who want a portable cooking surface for the buffet table suit this skillet. People cooking for one or two will find it more pan than they need.
Pros and cons
- Large pan with high sidewalls
- Ceramic nonstick, PFAS free
- Glass cover with stay-cool handle
- Fully immersible without the control
- Bulky to store
- Heat control must come off before washing
- Dimension entry in listing is wrong
- Warranty terms not detailed
Performance notes
The heavy cast aluminum base spreads heat across the pan and resists warping, and the Control Master holds the selected temperature automatically. The glass cover traps heat for stews and roasts and lets you watch without lifting it. Remove the control to wash the skillet fully.
