This is a review on the Cucina pro 1454, which is the 16" model. This pan is fantastic. I threw away my last pan, immediately after i took out the last piece of fried squash. I was so pissed i didn't even let the thing cool down. I decided i wanted a quality pan, no teflon finish. I wanted something in stainless and i wanted it to be large. the 16" model is really big. REALLY. But, It sure does hold a lot of stuff. the one thing i immediately noticed was the evenness of the heat distribution. It works very well. Another thing i really like about it is that you are not tied to the stove. I like to make fried Italian peppers, but my wife can not stand the smell, so i take it outside. Cover a large piece of plywood with a plastic cover and cook away. Any splatters are quickly wiped away and no mess on the stove. It does chicken great and with room to spare. What amazed me was when i finished the peppers there were a lot of burnt pieces stuck to the bottom of the pan. i just took about 8 0z of hot water with a little soap mixed in and put in in the pan and let it boil. As it was boiling i took a flat wooden spoon and scraped the bottom. Perfect. Came up with no trouble. I also liked the fact that you can use a brillo pad to clean it with also. Yeah, its ok, i checked with the company. You just can't put submerge it in water and use steel pads because they go into the plug outlet and the pieces of steel could cause a short. If you want a good pan that cooks a large amount of food efficiently and with good heat distribution then this is the pan for you.

First purchased the larger electric skillet which started to smoke up the kitchen when I was seasoning it. Returned it for the smaller one (same price!!) and have found the 12 inch skillet's handles are too small for either my husband or I to use and the metal is so thin around the top edge, you can get sliced by it. When I have to replace this Cucina product, I will definately go with another brand.

The edges are not rolled over, they are sharp. The handles are very small and the controller is placed directly under one handle making it hard to see when adjusting the temperature. The one we received had the round lathe like machine marks on the bottom so it was not a smooth surface. It will work but I think it is overpriced for what you get.

I have not actually used CucinaPro 1453 Stainless Steel Electric Skillet, since I was sent the wrong skillet.I received the CucinaPro 1653, which is a non-stick skillet. I plan to send it back and when and if (a big if here) I receive the correct skillet I will use it and write a review.In appearance, the Skillet looks very nice and I do like the non-skid feet. Other than that, I can not say good or bad about it.

I'm very pleased with this skillet after 3 uses, even though I hated paying the price.
I paid it because I thought I deserved a really nice skillet, once in my life. I'm 71.
First, I seasoned it by frying bacon in it. Then, I wiped it out with paper towels.
I've cooked in it twice since then. Very little sticking, and easy to clean.
I never liked non-stick coatings, so I gave away my cheapie, non-stick-coated skillet.
If all you've had is cheapie skillets, try this one! You'll like it...but season it first.
