elite skillet can this pan be submerged?

I had a small skillet almost like this one for over 20 years. It has finally given up it's ghost. Unfortunately, it isn't made anymore! Sob,sob. I will order this little skillet and can only hope it performs as well as my last one !

Just received my skillet today. It cannot be submerged but, if you do a good job of seasoning it, you'll be able to rinse and wipe it clean very easily. It gets very hot, so use silicone tools and don't cook on high. Perfect little pan!

I suppose you could if you really wanted to but it won't be necessary to get the pan clean. Before I grill something like steak or chops I will spray a little Pam on the surface of the pan. If food grade silicone is not your thing then an oil of your choice would be fine. When you are finished cooking pour a little water on the pan and let the pan cool. The food will loosen up and you can rinse it away with warm water without damaging the nonstick surface. Even modern cast iron needs a chance to build up a good seasoned coating. If you wash it with soap and hot water each time it doesn't have a chance to season. I suppose you could if you really wanted to but it won't be necessary to get the pan clean.

I would not recommend trying to use it without the pan. I would question whether the exterior shell could stand the direct heat.

The pan is pretty deep, so I don't see why not. I've done some pan frying but no deep frying in mine.

Yes! It's the pan is very easy to clean-it's removable. However keeping the cooking area clean is a bit harder. It can't be soaked and needs to be damp wiped every few times...

No it is not removeable. I just set mine in sink with cord insert end up out of water and wash it. I don't think most electric skillets have removeable pans.

Yes. This pan is sheet metal covered with an enamel coating. You should not have any problem.

No. You cannot get the bottom (underneath) wet and it would be difficult to clean. Heat water ONLY.

Yes, remove the cast iron pan from its wooden base and it's just like a cast iron skillet. Fine in the oven as well or over a camp fire.

I tried what you suggest, but it does not work. If you put the skillet over the DO it does work. However the set comes with a lid that fits both the skillet and the DO, perhaps you may want to do that instead. Remember that the skillet has "pouring lips" and that would probably not make it seal completely. Hope that this answers your question.

I'm sure you can. I put mine inside another pan for that reason. I definitely recommend NOT cooking anything in this that will spill in any way without the support of another pan.

i would not put the press in you non stick skillet. it will scratch the finish easily

It needs to be entirely submerged (except for the power chord). The instructions warn about letting the water get below the heating element which can cause damage.

I don't think the pan is heavy enough construction to have high heat applied directly to bottom. Would expect some warping. Recommend against use for cooking. Might want to consider a heavy stainless steel or aluminum stock pot type of container.

I use mine in my non-stick skillet. Now you must be careful with the edges as it could scratch some Teflon coating if scraped across it.

I don't think so. It's covered with something that might be teflon. As long as you're careful, though, the coating ought not wear off the way it might in a cooking pan.

It can handle spray and cleaning but not sure about being submerged for any duration. Not sure why you would want the dial underwater.
