What is the difference between this and the other Oster skillet measuring 12 x 16?

I have never bought a deep one before but I do love this one. And unlike all others the heating seems to be more even.

It's a whole lot deeper and with the steady right on thermostat you can successfully deep fry as well

not sure...it's a great appliance though...deep...even heating...even cooking...easy to clean

The 12"'pan has a cooking surface of about 9.25 and the 8" pan has a cooking surface of 5". I don't own the 10" pan but would figure it's about a 7" cooking surface giving the dimensions of the smaller and larger pans.

I'm not where the skillet is, but I think it is at the top. I measured my regular 10" cast iron skillet, and it is 10" at the top. The Chef's Skillet has lower sides and has a greater curve into the base. It will not hold as much as a regular 10" skillet, but I like it because it is lighter weight, easier on my wrist and arm!

I got a Swiss Diamond 12" skillet as a gift, and I loved it! It stayed flat and never warped, and the non-stick lasted pretty well. I used it so much I wore it out in 2 1/2 years. I want to buy another, but it's $130 so I'll have to save up.

the 12 oz has a 2 1/4 diameter, the 16 oz has 2 1/2 diameter. In two years, I have only broken one by bashing it in the sink.

cast iron wok requires care, just like any other iron skillet. it cooks faster, uses less oil, and you can control the heat. you can choose 14" if 16" is too big but we have a big family and loves to stir fry noodles...16" wok is perfect for us. We love to cook outdoors using gas...and you can order a ring to set the wok in place. I don't know if this helps...good luck in choosing the perfect wok. I totally recommend it.

My Lodge skillet says 10SK on the bottom, but yes, the top measures 12. The inside of the lid says 10. So, you need a 10in lid.

I believe I've had both and the professional is heavier. The one problem I've had with the thinner ones was shillets warping over time. When I saw this T-fal professional was the #1 recommended skillet by "America's Test Kitchen" I decided to buy one. I'm very happy with it. And yes I know the warping is from someone putting a hot skillet under running water...I keep telling hubby that, but....Carole

The 12 inch skillet popped up in the middle. So it won't cook evenly. We have had these for 4 years now. So for the price its still well worth it. We have 4 kids and use them mercilesly. Not the kids. The set of skillets and pots.Hold up super ..John T

The bottom diameter is 12 inches. I love this skillet as I can easily do one pot cooking and don't have handles sticking out everywhere. My wife is not as fascinated as I am, but she is not the type to do one pot cooking. Once it is seasoned properly it is a joy to use and clean.

None at all. I've owned the 16" for about six years now, and no problem. I just bought this smaller sized one as we're now empty nested and don't need such a large skillet. Use wooden or plastic utensils with it, never metal, and it should last many years.

8100MC has a digital control panel whereas the expensive unit has a digital touch panel and is easier to read. I think they operate the same however so it's a matter of aesthetics as to your preference. I believe both can accommodate a 12" pan.

I don't have the other pan. I have a 10 inch and i needed a 12 inch .didn't even know they had a 11 inch. Go for the 12 if you only need one.

I don't remember seeing which it was. I just know I was surprised by the thickness - it's got to be the heaviest pan I've ever owned, but then again, I have never bought any restaurant grade cookware either. If regular stuff from the store is 16 gauge, I would assume this to be the thicker 14 gauge. It's a nice pan. After buying one, I've bought two more sizes. I'll never need to buy another pan again.

I only have the 8 and 10 inch skillets and the wok lid is much larger than either of them. I believe it would fit a 12 inch skillet but I cannot verify.

I'm at work so I don't know the diameter of the element but I have used my 12" cast iron pan and it was fine. You will have areas which are hotter but I love my unit and am happy I purchased it. I use it outside so I don't get the frying smell in my home.

B. Coomes asks the very same question I have. I got a 12" skillet and sent it back because it was warped in the middle and NOT flat. I now BADLY want this 5.5 qt. casserole to take it's place, but I see negative reviews for it as well, exactly like my review for the 12" skillet. That was exceedingly disappointing! Does anyone with a FLAT cooktop stove have a good review for this pan??????? I'm not ordering until I know that they are not ALL defective, and that I have a good chance with it.
