Best Electric Skillets in the UK

Not a fan of cooking? We can understand that. However, things will change once you try the VonShef 07/089 Square Multi Cooker. Fitted with a number of helpful features, this electric skillet will let you prepare a slew of delicious meals and, what's more important, let you do that in an easy manner, ensuring excellent results each time.

To start off, the VonShef 07/089 Square Multi Cooker offers professional performance. With a power output of 1500 watts, it does an excellent job of heating up evenly and quickly, taking from 2 to 5 minutes depending on the setting you choose. In the meantime, the housing itself doesn't tend to get hot. It's featured with two cold-to-touch handles so that you will be able to safely touch and move the pan without the risk of getting burnt.

For greater convenience, the ON indicator light and adjustable thermostat are placed right on the cord so you can easily adjust the heat settings and see when the unit gets hot. This cord is detachable and can be disconnected for those occasions when you decide to serve the meal right to the table. The addition of the rubber feet makes it safe to place the skillet on all surfaces without the worry that it might tip off and fall down.

When buying an electric appliance promising multifunctionality, we expect it to live up to its promises. And this electric skillet from Judge will really deliver to your expectations.

First and foremost, you'll get a complete cooking set ready to use straight out of the box. A square-shaped (30 x 30 cm) pan comes in a bundle with a matching lid made of solid glass. So, there will be no need to buy the lid separately and you can just plug the unit in to start using it once unpacked. The lid will keep the foods warm for longer after cooking and will enable you to conveniently monitor the cooking process.

Made of aluminium, the skillet heats up in a flash and boasts even heat distribution. Yet, what makes this model really stand out is an enhanced non-stick coating. Damage-proof and scratch-resistant, it offers longer service life and will let you cook healthy oil-free meals without scorches. More than that, thanks to this premium coating, you can use the pan as a slow cooker to simmer or stew mouth-melting casseroles. Besides, the model can serve as a steamer, grill, and roaster.

Something else we can't leave unnoticed is the cooker's energy-wise power consumption. While being not less efficient than an ordinary hob, it doesn't add too much to the energy bills and can be a great alternative.

If you like hearty and wholesome casserole meals, this electric skillet from Quest is definitely for you. The round shape and oversized 40-cm diameter make the unit big enough for cooking multiple servings in one go and the depth of 4 cm makes it ideal for both stewing or sauteing and for frying or roasting. The quality non-stick surface will prevent burns and scorches even when cooking with little to no oil and a vented lid made of tempered glass will ensure your casserole dishes will be delicately soft and juicy but not watery.

By unplugging the power cable after cooking, you can serve your appetising stews and roasts right in the skillet while still hot. The cool-touch handles allow for easy carrying, raised feet will keep the unit safely above the table surface, and the round-shaped pan will look really great on a dinner table.

At 1500 watts of power, the Quest doesn’t differ much from other similar models. It heats up fast and evenly up to the maximum temperature of 240°C. Add to this an adjustable thermostat to regulate the cooking temperature from 100°C up to the max, and you’ll get a cooker that will let you cook anything from crispy fries to mouth-melting meats to braised veg.

Want to be able to cook a full English breakfast for the whole family in a single pan? If so, the VonShef 07/031 multi cooker is definitely worth a try. Once you try it, you will be amazed at how good and versatile it is.

Among a variety of electric skillets available on the modern market, this model stands out for its generous size. 42 cm in diameter and 5 cm deep, it can accommodate much more food than its shallower 30 cm rivals. Using this only pan will rid you of a need to put several pans on a stove top to cook a nutritious breakfast for your family. With the VonShef 07/031, you'll be able to fry sausages, eggs, bacon, and mushrooms all in one go. The skillet comes with a lid so you can cook faster and keep your countertop clean.

Made of high-quality aluminium, the VonShef skillet evenly heats up to the set temperature almost in a blink of an eye. A premium quality non-stick coating will prevent the food from sticking to the pan bottom and make the unit maintenance a real snap. All you need to keep your electric skillet clean is delicately wash it with a soapy sponge and wipe it dry with a soft cloth. In addition, you can fry and sear with only a few drops of oil, thus reducing the amount of fats you usually consume.

Just as you expect from any appliance of this type, the VonShef 07/031 features a thermostat with 5 variable temperature settings to quickly give steaks a golden crust (the perfect temperature for that is 240°C), simmer pan-size meals like shrimp paella or seafood pasta at a lower setting or keep foods delicately warm at the minimal heat during buffet-style dinners. With a detachable power cable, this multi-cooker is fully portable: you can cook scrumptious burgers, grill sausages, or make pizza on the terrace for your bbq parties or even serve you treats right in the skillet.

Capacious and versatile, this electric skillet from VonShef is an optimal option for a big family and those who often invite guests or hosts parties and friendly gatherings.

Electric skillets are definitely meant to make the life of home cooks much easier. And this model from Geepas was created with every home cook need and convenience in mind. Once you try it in practice, most likely than not, you’ll fall in love with this device and swap your regular cookware for it.

First of all, the model is a piece of truly quality equipment, it is made of durable and lightweight aluminium, features a solid plastic stand with ergonomic carry handles, and comes fitted with a hefty glass lid made of heat- and damage-resistant tempered glass. The cooking surface is coated with a premium non-stick coating that won’t chip or peel over time. And it is absolutely safe leaching no harmful elements to the foods when heated even to the maximum high temperature.

Speaking of the cooking temperature, a 1500-watt heating element can heat the cooking surface up to 240°C, which is comparable to the temperature you’ll normally achieve in an oven. Hence, the cooker is much more than an ordinary frying pan. Apart from roasting, it will let you braise, saute, stew, and even slow cook or bake.

The Geepas skillet (like pretty much any device of this type) has a built-in thermostat with a controller to help you precisely set the cooking temperature to perfectly match different cooking tasks. You’ll be able to choose from low heat for warming up or reheating some delicate foods to medium heat for slow cooking or baking to high heat for frying. Besides, the temperature controller is detachable, which makes it possible to use the pan as a serving bowl when the dish is ready.
