Precise Heat Electric Skillet Review

After finally catching this item at a price $50 less than when I first saw it, I am ecstatic that I didn't buy it at the higher price because it isn't worth it.For one, as someone else mentioned, it isn't level, which is quite evident when oil or water is added.I too moved it around to various locations with the same lopsided results.Next, as high as this set was at one time, ($90), one would expect it to be the highest quality of stainless steel, 18/10.The manufacturer claims that the 5 ply cookware consists of 18/8 stainless (304 series) and aluminum alloys.I've read that 18/8 is also high quality but that leaves much to question when the manufacturer suggests using plastic utensils rather than metal ones since those can damage and scratch the finish, which can lead to food tasting metallic.

Not using metal utensils seemed odd since I can use metal utensils in my All Clad stainless skillet without any reservations. With suspicions raised, I got a magnet and surprise, the pan almost snatched it out of my hand and it stuck!It doesn't stick to the All Clad.I thought the 300 series of stainless steel was supposed to be non-magnetic.I have several pieces of 18/10 stainless cookware and a magnet will not stick to any of them.So, it's hard to say what this skillet is actually made out of.I have been looking for an explanation but most say that magnets will not stick to 304 series stainless or 18/8.

Next up is the mysterious ring of white dots that surround the heating element.These appeared after I used the skillet for the first time to fry chicken.I've tried vinegar, stainless steel cleaner, and Soft Scrub, but it's still there, except for that spot where I took a Scotchbrite pad to it and lo and behold, it scratched it up!So now it's spotted and scratched!What a winner!

Now on to the stainless steel lid that's supposed to double as a stovetop skillet or griddle if you flip it over.It does have an encapsulated bottom, it's somewhat thin looking though, and I'm expecting it to start wobbling around on the stovetop at any time!Fortunately, I already have a griddle so I won't have to put this lid to a test that it will probably fail.Lodge Logic Pro 20-by-10-7/16-Inch Cast-Iron Grill/Griddle

I have a variety of high end cookware pieces to gauge this against, and in my opinion, this set is not to be equated with high quality.I wouldn't recommend it and am seriously considering sending it back because I'm not comfortable with using it since it's doesn't seem to have the same properties as my other stainless steel cookware and those unexplained white spots sort of give me the heebie jeebies!
