Do Not Waste Your Money
I purchased this to replace one I had for 14 years. What a waste of money. It does not brown chicken. Even at the 400 degree temp, the food takes forever to heat and cook. I am so ready to just toss this in the garbage. Rival should pay all owners a stipend to put up with this bad quality. Shame on them! Whatever you do, DO NOT BUY!!

Still waiting for mine to heat...
For the price that I paid, I also expected a quality product. However, it is slow to heat and it never gets really hot enough. I agree with all the reviewers. I wish I'd read the other product reviews as well. Looks like and is priced like a winner, but a total loser.

Totally worthless - Dont buy!
Aside from the dominant comments from others about uneven cooking surface, long heat-up times, and flaking teflon coating (a health hazard that the CPSC ought to look into. There are several usability issues with this model. First the removable pan has a protrusion on the bottom side that must line up with a hole in the element frame in order for the safety switch to close and allow the unit to heat. There is no mention of this in the user guide and there is nothing in the design of the pan or base that "guides" the pan into place. Poor ergonomics! The second issue is that the light is just a power light as opposed to a light that indicates the status of the temperature achieved like virtually every other skillet on the market. To make things worse, they have engineered in a click that sounds when the dial is turned from Off to Warm. This mimics the sound of the thermostatic switch in most other units that advances position around the dial at the point where the desired temperature has been reached and turns off the light indicating that the desired cooking temperature has been reached. I will not buy Rival again. Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me!
