This is not an electric skillet, it is a slow cooker and a good one. Get the deep fat fryer or the electric skillet for what you are looking for.

The BSC560XL Easy Sear™ Slow Cooker has a removable Easy Sear™ Cooking pan insert that enables you to remove it and use it to sear meat over the stove top prior to slow cooking any food. If stir-frying is the desired cooking style, Breville® does offer woks through Amazon.

Yes, the wok performs excellent on electric stove tops. I prop wok on base for low to medium heat. I do not do so for very high heat. And..I always store the wok clean and the interior coated very lightly with oil.

Get this wok, you'll like it. Balances well for me on my gas range, but I do intend on getting a ring for it, and you would benefit too as well. It heats somewhat slow compared to other woks, but this flexible cast iron pan is thin too, so your oil gets smokin' hot in hardly any time. Make sure you scrub it good with soap and water to get the protective coating off, then season the wok using whatever method you might prefer.

Sorry but no idea about the glass top but I have an electric stove and have had no problems at all. Not sure why it should be any different. However, I don't put the heat on the highest temp -- just a middle one.

We have a ceramic cooktop (electric stove) ..... so don't know the difference between ours and yours.It works great with ours! (The best fry pan that we have ever found.)

I have used a wok on a gas and electric stove and they do a good job. This wok does a great job as well it heats up fast and holds that temperature. With a regular wok, depending on the style, you will find yourself moving it around so the heat will change some not much. The Breville wok heat is constant gets hot and stays hot. This wok, if your a neat cook, is easy to clean you just have to clean the area where the food touched. I rarely have to take it apart. If you follow the instructions in the manual for cooking and maintaining you will do fine. It has 14 heating settings plus the searing. It's an excellent product looks good and it's nice quality. I don't think I'll never go back to a regular wok. I have used a wok on a gas and electric stove and they do a good job. This wok does a great job as well it heats up fast and holds that temperature.

Hello. Let me answer with the device I have which is a double. If I only use one stove and let the other one off, the range starts from 180°F to 450°F. Now if I use all stoves at the same time, the range is only from 180°F to 330°F for both electric stoves.

I would say somewhere between 375 and 450, though I think the average is about 400. Great for searing stir fry meats. When my unit fails, I will purchase another without hesitation.

I have used both. I find this electric wok easy to use and clean. *Both give you great control over the heat.*Stove top wok might store easier...more like a bowl.*Stove top wok always looked sort of dirty.*Breville wok super easy to clean and is non-stick (stove top one from the past was a nasty mess).*Electric wok frees up stove for other cooking if needed.*Breville wok is stable, no wobbling around or need to move it around while cooking.Overall, I prefer the electric wok.

I use a smooth top electric range, and have had all successes with evenly browned meat! It heats quickly, nd you don't lose the good bits in the bottom when you brown the meat, because you put it back onto the slow cooker! As with any recipe, you just need o keep your eye on it.

Suzanne, I bought A NuWave Pic. I opted for the higher end unit. I split my order with my son. He has used his extensively and is very impressed with it. I broke mine in on fried chicken. I've never had oil temperature control like this before. Good luck with your decision.

I purchased the nuwave, from commercial, two of them (second one free.... har, har) and pans set, and grills, and pressure cooker. The shipping was several hundreds of dollars!!!! But I do love induction cooking especially with old place and new place having only electric. BUT!!!!!!! Although I used one sparingly over 2 years (we are a 2 microwave in kitchen family and large one in laundry room - we are masters at microwave cooking), when I hand carried it to my new place two of the screws fell out of the bottom feet and not replaceable making it probably unsafe to use. I trashed it. When I got the second one out of box, after being in inside storage for two years, it is defective. Using a candy thermometer I can only get water temp up to 210 F degrees, just under a boil. I am female, don't usually handle my possessions harshly or ever use excessive force with tools and equipment, and have a lot of fine delicate things that I haven't broken in over 60 years...... That said, I'm really disappointed in the (non)longevity and (non)endurance of the nuwave induction burners. (They were out of warranty.) I am in the process of purchasing a new induction cooktop and later, after saving up some funds, will purchase a second one. We especially love grilling and searing proteins indoors using induction cooktop and pressure cooking takes only minutes for just about anything. It does take a little practice to learn how to keep fats/oils from spattering when using searing temps on the grill and skillets but so worth learning especially when weather is too bad for outdoors cooking/grilling.

Pat, I would refer to the temp control and the booklet that came along with the electric fry pan. I am very pleased with this electric fry pan. I did not want the nonstick at first, but I do like it now. I put it to use right away as my stove was out of order for about 3-4 weeks. I hope that you like the fry pan and that I answered your question.

I had a heat induction top when I first got this wok. I had no problem bringing it to the high heat needed for wok cooking.

Both my wife and I like this skillet. Like most electric skillets it is hotter right above the heat coils and can cause some scorching if the food is allowed to get too dry.

Since you are not supposed to use these pans with very high heat, I'm not sure deep frying is the best for this due to the heat. But they are great for stir frying. I never use heat higher than medium high (following recommendations), and have had no problems and they remain in great shape after 15 months of almost daily cooking. I think they are excellent pans overall, but I think you may be better served with other pans that can tolerate highest heat settings.

Sorry. That was my experience exactly. I microwaved for the max time and it was only warm, not nearly hot enough to keep a meal warm through a plate. I will be looking for something electric next time.
