Cute. It's a miniature. Can hold up to 6 eggs with their shell, with the lid on. That's for size comparison. Heats well for one plate of food, obviously for this meant to cook one serving at a time. WouldnI buy another? Maybe. Depends if I need two mini meals cooking at the same time to make one whole meal, at one time, to save time.I love this little skillet. I mostly cook for myself and didn't need large pans, this is the perfect size for so many things and I don't have to use the gas stove. It heats up fast so be careful... I don't use metal utensils so I won't scratch the surface and I'm having fun with it.I bought this personal electric griddle to use at work. It’s perfect because it’s small and doesn’t take up a lot of space. I’ve had no issues cooking in it.The Teflon is starting to come off.I use this in my travel trailer. It is the perfect size for making meals for one person and I don't have to heat up the entire camper by using the stove.So easy to pack in a small bag. Great travel accessory when u don’t want to eat out, and carry your own food prepared by you!!This small pan is just perfect for me great size easy clean up and easy to store its also light weight. The controls are plain and easy to read a great pan for older or single folksThe lock for the handle will not position correctly, see image one. The thermostat would not go beyond the low range. However, I was eventually able to adjust the fry pan to the medium range once it had warmed up. As you can see, the heating element is only partially warming the base of the fry pan. Since I am using it as a water bath, that is okay, but it would not be acceptable if you were cooking a grilled cheese sandwich. When the thermostat was stuck on low, I was having extreme difficulty melting these small vessels of Gulf wax. However, in the final picture, once I was able to turn the thermostat up to medium, the water heated up quite quickly.This frying pan is the perfect size. It's cute and convenient. BUT it is very badly made and unsafe to use.First, this is an appliance meant to be used in a kitchen...meaning lots of steel and the likelihood of water around. The plug isn't a three prong, grounded plug, which all kitchen appliances should have. And the heating element is unenclosed, it gets red hot and its exposed, and less that two inches from the surface upon which it being used.Two things happened. First, I got a shock when plugging it in. Second, there is now a burn mark on my kitchen counter.I will never buy another Maxi-matic product.First of all, the box was damaged, so definitely this cannot be gifted to anyone. The skillet itself was damaged as well. All the plastic parts are made of the cheapest plastic you can find. I think dollar store quality would be better than this. It’s a $25 skillet but it’s not even worth 25 cents. Complete garbage and unusable. Unfortunately had to return.I bought this 8-inch electric frying pan because of the size. I live alone, in an apartment and am looking for alternatives to using my stove - which sucks up so much power every time I turn it on. I bought this 8-inche square electric frying pay - hoping to use it for "multi-purpose" cooking. Its the perfect size for grilled cheese sandwich (two if you cut one in half), or two fried eggs and I even used it to make a generous serving of rice. However, I found the legs weren't stable so it seemed like it would tip over easily. The temperature control is basically "on" or "off' which meant I had to stand there, continuously tweaking the heat-control dial as I was cooking. I sent the frying pack. FYI, I did buy a similar unit through Amazon - which is more stable and which I've kept - but I really am searching for a good quality small electric frying pan - (with reliable temperature control and even surface heat) - for multi use cooking. If anyone knows of such a product, please post a reply to this review. Thanks!Compré dos sartenes, voy abriendo el paquete, están muy bonitos se ven muy prácticos, resistentes, y de construcción fuerte aún no los uso. Uno de ellos tiene una burbuja (defecto) en el recubrimiento, además viene manchado, el clip para sujetar el asa está rallado, al parecer también la base ya fue calentada muy probablemente sea una devolución, por lo que solicitaré el remplazo. El otro llegó muy bien. Sus dimensiones son excelentes para calentar la porción comida de una o dos personas. Compraré otros dos para regalar.Even though I bought this some time ago, today was the first occaision I have had to use it. I fried up a simple grilled cheese sandwich. I was very disappointed that when I flipped the sandwich, using a silicone spatula, and the non stick coating started to flake off. I know this is a lower price item, but still, the coating should not flake.
