is the skillet removeable from the base?

No, but there is no need to remove the base since the entire unit can be easily cleaned in the sink. Our old skillet had to be taken apart to clean because the upper part was not submersible in water. This is a great improvement. Be sure to use a soft sponge and never any abrasive cleaner, and never use metal utensils when cooking with it. We have had ours for years and the finish is like brand new. We liked it so much we bought each of our kids one.

No it is not removable from the base. Actually I like this. I've had ones in the past that do and I much prefer this. I am still enjoying using this skillet.

No it's all one piece but that does;t bother me. It's one of the best frying I have ever owned!!

I would say that yes you could - in theory. I have noticed that the enamel (?) chips off pretty easily. I think the grill might really annoy it. Hunt around and find an old NON-LODGE deep skillet with lid in just plain cast iron and you'' never have that problem. I hate the Lodge finish.

No it is not removeable. I just set mine in sink with cord insert end up out of water and wash it. I don't think most electric skillets have removeable pans.

I am not sure. I have never tried to do that since I have a fry daddy. But I really love this skillet! I use it almost every day.

The handle will not be oven safe, so removing the handle would be sufficient.

Yes. It's held by tension pegs and can pop off the base. The rest of the handle is held together by wing nuts. So also fairly simple to deconstruct to components.

Yes, it can be removed. It is "handle" to pick up the basket. It can easily be removed by unscrewing it. I removed the handle and have left it out. I never use the handle. Hope this answers yoiur question.

Yes. Very sturdy and long enough to keep away from heated skillets/pans. Super fun colors too!

yes, it is removeable. it's on a typical lap ring that sits on the bulb post like most typical lamps. which makes it easy for cleaning.

No, it's built in and cannot be removed. It does work great, and can be cleaned periodically

The base is removable. You do not have to remove it to microwave it, as someone said.

Not without bending it with a pair of pliers. I see no need to remove it anyway. It has two separate folding methods - one is somewhat raised as shown in this picture which makes it easy to handle when cooking - the other is to flip it over to make it lower. Also handle does not get hot when cooking. Love this pot. When cooking soups and stews this is the only pot I use anymore.

No, it's not remove able. But have not had anything stick to it in over 50 uses. EASY to wipe down once cool!

It can be removed. The bottom can be removed from the stick, so all parts can be removed for easy cleaning.

There is a plastic round disc in the center of the base, not sure if this can be removed and a caster can be inserted. Hope this helps!

Not efficiently unfortunately. I installed with drawers above and can only use it with saucepans, no skillets.

There is a small cup on the base of the unit for grease. The cooking surface (grill grate) and reflective pan can be removed. I would NOT recommend this grill. The grate sits directly on the coils. Think there MUST be some supports for the grill missing but just haven't had time to purse it.
