How big is the cooking surface? My mom wants to use an 11" pan.

Will do fine as long as it is perfectly flat and the right metal. If the bottom is bowed even a little it will not heat properly.

I use a 12 inch fry pan. It works very well. Like all large pans it's a bit hotter in the middle

The glass surface is about 10 or 11 inches wide. The part of the cooktop that supplies the heat is much smaller -about 3 to 4 inches. If you use appropriate cookware the heat should spread all across the bottom of the panwithout scorching in the center - especially if you follow their recommendations for heat and power levels.

8 or 9" would be as big as you will want to go. The 11" will fit but it will take longer.

Probably nine inch or smaller works best. You can put a twelve inch on it but you will probably have to stir food to get it to cook evenly because it won't heat the edges of the pan.

I didn't get the 11 inch pan but I did get the 16 inch pan and it's 16 3/4 inches. If the 11 inch pan follows the same construction and rolled edges then I'd say it's 11 3/4 inches.

The pan is 12" in diameter and 2 1/2" deep. I use it for a large variety of meals, but mainly for cassarole prep.

I've just measured. The cooking surface diameter is 9.5 inches. The top rim is 11 on the inside and 11.5 on the outside. and the bottom that touches the burner is just under 9 inches.

I just received this question, but I purchased the 7" model. The flat part inside of the 7" is 5 1/8" (13 cm) and the outside diameter is 7 1/2" (19 cm). An 11" pan I have (different make) is 9" (23 cm) inside and 11 1/2" (29 cm) outside diameter. So considering the math of both this 12" fry pan should be about 10" (25.5 cm) inside. Hope that helps.

The 11" pan is about 1 and 3/4" deep. The sides curve and slant outward and are 2" measured from the bottom interior and following the curve.

The cooking surface is 15 and 3/4 by 10 and 3/4 inches. It is the right size for 2 people.

I'm afraid it would be tightI just measured and you could make it with 11x8 and truthfully everything I've used my oven for thus far has been just perfect. if you don't use a pan but cover the wrack with foil you could stretch it to 12". the beauty of this oven is that it doesn't use up too much counter space in a not so large kitchen

the cooking surface (bottom of the pan) is 5.5", perfect for a egg or 2 or a small piece of meat. I have this dedicated egg pan, works great!

It depends. I have an 11" pan that is completely covered by the elements, and that is because the bottom of the pan is about 9". So the bottom of my pan is 9" and the top opening bevels out to 11" and works really great.

I'd say it is more like 11 + inches. My only issue was the slight cupping in the center of my skillet. I would encourage you to check that the whole cooking surface is flat.

You will find that the pan that is used for cooking and steaming is 11in. diagonally I can place a small salmon filet on the rack over about 1 pint of water. cook to taste this is great appliance for a couple or a person living on their own. It has replaced my oven in all functions.

Hi! The OUTSIDE of the pan is 11 " X 17 1/2". I hope these pans will work for you too, they are exceptional.

That would be 6.8", otherwise it would be a REALLY big pan. Merry Christmas!

I use my 11" Dutch oven pan. Perfect size. Be sure to spray the dough holder with cooking spray ! This is a great tool. My very first batch of spaetzle turned out just right.

11" and 7.5", respectively.it is too heavy for the constant tossing style of stir frying. the lip of the pan allows tossing very well, it is just too heavy to do that a lot. I use a much thinner one for that but the thin pan warps.
