It was a beautiful Sunday morning when the fields were still moist with dew and there was silence except for birdsong. Imagine the magic of a best ceramic coated electric skillet. Their non-stick properties, cleanability and health benefits have inspired modern kitchens since the good old days. They are boy wonder! One can not argue with good looks and good health.
The variety of the market is no less than the pan-fried golden brown. How do you choose the best one? Well, at this whirligig of an electric skillet exchange.
For they say one gets closest to heaven by keeping clean. Fear not–cleaning the ceramic-coated surface is as easy as wiping it down with a damp cloth. There’s no need to scrub away like Hulk–all fingers and thumbs. I asked my cat this morning how he’d like to do the dishes and he voted for ceramic.
Temperature control can be a battleground–or rather, it shouldn’t be. What you are searching for is a skillet that heats with the precision of a Swiss watch. No one wants to ruin their perfect pancake recipe because there was uneven cooking. Believe me, golden edges with raw centers would make it a breakfast tragedy!
Size up your potential skillet. Are you cooking eggs for all Persians or just tossing together a quick stir-fry for an individual? While bigger can seem better on the face of it, smaller may be more appropriate if counter-space is tighter than a hipster’s jeans. My aunt once tried cooking with a huge skillet only to discover her kitchen was the size of a postage stamp. With holy living havoc she set about making breakfast; it was like a real-life circus show.
The one thing my grandmother always said: “treat it in a professional way!” A good, heat-resistant handle is crucial. No one wants to be like a plate-juggler with hot food on their hands. Grab it nonchalantly and comfortably, as if vending a puppy, and without wiggling about.
Ceramic skillets frequently have shiny features–a tempered glass lid for example? They’re not only there for you to gaze at your masterpiece of cuisine in; they keep in moisture, providing dishes that truly speak. And, if necessary, they can double as a pretty good mirror to check your hair.
Oh, a word of big brotherly advice: keep an eye on the price. Skillets are all the way from a deal of the day to as expensive as throwing a yacht party. Deciding what extras you are willing to pay for without going into hock is up to you!
Last but certainly not least, don’t forget the guarantee. Just as with an adventurous child and a new toy, sometimes things get a little out of control. You don’t want to be struck in the middle of the stream like that without a paddle.
In a confusing sort of cookware-carnival, ceramic-coated electric skillets are those bright fireworks that keep your eyes glued until it’s all over. Now then, light up that skillet and roll in it, happy cooking!
