- Electric Skillet

A versatile ceramic nonstick electric skillet that reviewers use for searing, stir-fry, and rice with good results, though a cord failure reported after six months and a shiny control panel on the white finish are worth weighing.

Overview
A 6 quart electric skillet from GreenPan with a ceramic nonstick cooking surface, cast-in heating element, and a digital LED display offering ten preset modes including sear, stir-fry, and rice.
GreenPan built its name on ceramic cookware free of PFAS and PFOA, and this skillet extends that coating to an electric countertop appliance rather than a stovetop pan. Reviewers treat it less like a novelty and more like a genuine cooking tool, several noting it replaced a slow cooker or a dedicated rice pot, though the shallow shape means it is not a full slow cooker substitute.
- Thermolon Volt ceramic nonstick coating
- Ten cooking presets from sear to grains
- Cast-in element for even heat distribution
- 6 quart capacity for family-size batches
Who it's for
Cooks who want one countertop appliance that sears, simmers, and cooks rice without a stovetop, and who prefer a ceramic surface over traditional nonstick coatings. Less suited to anyone specifically shopping for a deep slow cooker, since the pan's depth is limited.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Reviewers who switched from cheaper electric skillets highlight even browning and a searing timer as real upgrades, and several say the ceramic coating cleans up easily even after scorched food. The complaints that recur are a control panel that is hard to read on the white finish and one report of the power cord melting and fusing into the socket after about six months.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Even heating across searing, stir-fry, and rice presets
- Removable pan is dishwasher safe
- Tempered glass lid to monitor cooking
- Ceramic coating is free of PFAS, PFOA, lead, and cadmium
- One reported cord failure after about six months of use
- White model's control panel is shiny and hard to read
- Not deep enough to fully replace a slow cooker
Performance notes
The cast-in heating element is designed to spread heat evenly across the pan rather than concentrating it under a single burner-style coil, which is what lets the skillet move between searing and simmering without hot spots. The ten preset modes on the LED display set time and temperature automatically for tasks like white rice or brown rice, so the cook does not have to guess at settings. The pan itself lifts out of the housing for dishwasher cleaning.

Questions about the GreenPan CC005090-001
Common buyer questions answered straight from the product spec data - no fluff, no "it depends".
Can the GreenPan Elite 6QT skillet cook rice?
Yes, it has dedicated white rice and brown rice presets among its ten cooking modes.
Is the pan dishwasher safe?
The removable pan pops out of the housing and is dishwasher safe; the housing itself should not be submerged.
Does this skillet work as a slow cooker?
It has a simmer and warm setting, but reviewers note the pan is shallower than a dedicated slow cooker, so deep slow-cooker recipes may not translate directly.
