I purchased this skillet because Cuisinart  no longer makes the 14” round “green gourmet” skillet (of which I have purchased several as gifts for my children as well as one for myself) and I needed an electric skillet for a vacation home that I was furnishing.  The size listed in the description is for the box it is packaged in and not the actual skillet which was a big disappointment (reason for the 4 stars).  That being said, It looks just like the round skillet I was referring to, only oval and slightly smaller and it is supposedly dishwasher safe which the round one is not.  I have not used it yet so I can not comment on its functionality or cooking capability but I think that if it works like my round one, then I will be happy.
