Upon careful examination, I was happily surprised to see such excellent construction and attention to detail: 1.) Instead of simply placing a steam release hole, away from the center in the top of the removable lid (like the Saladmaster oil-core skillets of the past several decades), this Precise Heat Skillet has a removable dual function lid handle that also has an adjustable sliding "open-close" lever. This lid handle comes with a "life-time" warranty. 2.) The interior of this skillet has a highly polished "stick-free" stainless steel surface, designed to be cleaned with only "Teflon coated non-scratch cleaning pads." This non-stick surface works great and looks superb to the naked eye. Sadly, no photos of the bottom interior of this unit are posted at this site or any other sites where this 3.5 quart Precise Heat Skillet is advertised. 3.) The exterior surface is also highly polished 304Tstainless steel and requires the same Teflon coated cleaning pad. No abrasives are to be used anywhere on this unit, as they will destroy the beautiful polished mirror surface. 4.) The "stay-cool" side handles are extremely functional and very sturdy, encircled with heavy gage stainless steel (another design area where this particular unit "exceeds" what can be typically found in the Saladmaster Electric Skillets). 5.) This size and pricing of this Precise Heat oil-core skillet are perfect for me. The 11 inch Saladmaster Skillets were too small and way too expensive. This Precise Heat unit is too beautiful to wash and dry in my electric dishwasher. I believe that "hand-washing" it will help preserve the exquisite beauty of this unit for decades to come. Amazingly, this Precise Heat Skillet fits perfectly into one of my "dual-sink" wash basins, (top-side "up" and bottom side "down"), making clean-up a breeze! 6.) The only design feature that is not so easy to get used to, is the stainless steel "emergency-safety core oil discharge tray" that slides neatly underneath the Precise Heat Skillet during cooking. Originally, from the on-site photos, I thought this small stainless steel tray was designed for cooking grease over-flow. I was mistaken. This tray is for safety reasons only - to catch any core oil discharged during an overheating condition. My experience has been that during normal cooking, none of the interior core oil located between the layers of heavy gage stainless steel seeps into this small tray. I believe that just in case there is (at any time in the future) an extreme "overheating" condition, this skillet allows a small amount of core oil to discharge into this small stainless steel tray. This is an innovative safety design feature that none of the Saladmaster skillets I have seen include. All in all, this is the one of the finest cooking utensils I have ever owned. I would not hesitate to recommend it to my friends and family.Read full review
