For years, I have purchased teflon coated electric fry pans.  Every year, I seemed to be replacing these electric frypans due to surface wear, as I have never owned a regular oven and therefore do not use regular frypans.  Finally, my husband discovered The Rock 12" electric skillet.  I LOVE it !  It is so easy to clean after use, and we are using little (if any) oil.  Hooray!  Hopefully, it will last many years in our kitchen. (This review was collected as part of a promotion.)
