In my opinion Rival makes one of the best electric skillets around. They are easy to use and easy to clean up. The company makes a wide variety of styles and sizes to fit almost any need. The temperature settings are easy to read and the unit maintains the temperature.
I don't like Rival electric skillets. I find that electric skillets don't get a very even heat. They are quite difficult to use. You will like a gas skillet more.
I think it's an excellent electric skillet, a little less messier than the George Foreman grill because it comes with a glass top. You can also cook mini casseroles.
There is several different electric grills out here. The rival makes the cleanest and easiest one for me to use. The temperature settings are easy to read and use. Does not get take long to clean. Does not need much run to store.
