Get this one, not others. (Honestly, I am not sure if the electric power in my area at certain times of day fluxgates or what. or if this item keeps it or not at same degree.) 1.) The instructions are very clear, %26 it does say how it will pause at certain times for some impt. reason. 2.) All I know is that you should get it because it has a CERAMIC lining, not a black Teflon- type lining. 3.) Instructions state that if there are "stains" --meaning stuck on foods- and all these elect fry pans can stick at times -for tougher stuff, just put some baking soda and a little water or dish soap for a minute -and rub it off. Also, just lower the temp overall. 4.) It also says you can add water or liquids any time to the cooking process, as it will not hurt the pan. 5.) It is a pretty light aqua color. 6.) It is a bit heavy, but made to last. 7.) It has two lid clamps so the lid does not slip off when stationary %26 some kind of feature with it that you can stand it on its side to store it on some shelf like that to save space. 8.) Because of this feature, it is a bit heavy and cumbersome to flip around in the skink to clean it. And those base- plastic parts are not removable. 9.) What is nice about this one in addition to the ceramic lining that is safer, is that it is nice %26 deep, has a heavy glass lid with a little hole in the top to let out steam, %26 it does not spray all over on the sides or thru the hole. 10.) The cord feature has a simple dial setting, no silly digital nonsense to work with. A simple cord %26 setting knob where you inject into the contraption to cook. 11.) The outside of it is also very easy to clean, as is the lid %26 entire thing. 12.) Also, it is not too wide like some that requires a lot of oil. 13) I use it for everything: frying, boiling, whatever... No major complaints. 14.) Get this one because I've ordered several others companies' over the years %26 they have really fallen from grace this year, but this one was the best with everything comparatively speaking. 15.) For example, one company's I had been using, the coating came off, and it was made poorly so that the circular cooking element on the bottom of the pan burned the food, %26 its new lid has a bad design- a large open pouring-lip/ spout on one side of the pan and/or the cover made the liquid evaporate too suddenly, as you can't ever cover it completely, so boiling pasta and other stuff spay all out of it! Just get this one and endure the initial heaviness / cumbersomeness, so if you have a big sink or a two- sided good- sized sink, it will be fine. Your hands and arms will get stronger too. LOLL 16.) Food does stick to it a little in that fry-pan circular element on the bottom like I think they all do nowadays, but the first week, it prob won't stick. LOLL , but just keep the cooking temp lower than usual... heat of breaded meat or whatever lower than you might 17.) I wish they'd make one that goes hotter than 400 degrees to fry special things. 18.) Elevated legs
