The GreenPan Stainless Steel 8-in-1 Skillet Grill & Slow Cooker boasts of multiple features such as presets to sauté, steam, stir-fry, and cook rice. With its healthy ceramic nonstick surface and dishwasher-safe parts, this appliance is both easy to use and maintain. Initially, I purchased it as a replacement for my old roasting pot. However, its utility surprised me, and it soon found a permanent spot on my countertop. I frequently use the griddle pan for various dishes, from eggs, sausage links, grilled sandwiches, and pancakes to burgers and chicken.
Understanding the time display might take a moment, but once you get the hang of it, the operation becomes seamless. Cleaning up is also a breeze. However, a point of contention is the inclusion of a metal roasting rack. Manufacturers often advise against using metals in nonstick cookware, making the metal roasting rack’s presence perplexing. A silicone alternative would have been more appropriate and useful.
Despite a minor hiccup, the product has proven invaluable, especially when our kitchen stove was out of order for two months. We relied solely on this pan for all our meals – from roasts, grilled meats, rice, soups to scrambled eggs. The versatility of this appliance is commendable. However, users should be cautious. After two uses, I noticed chipping in the pan, even though I adhered to the manufacturer’s guidelines. GreenPan’s response was that minor chipping is normal due to the hardness of ceramic coatings.
For many, this appliance has become a kitchen staple. Its multifunctionality allows for a range of one-pan meals, making cooking convenient. While I have other kitchen appliances like the Zoji rice cooker, which I won’t replace, the GreenPan skillet grill & slow cooker is especially useful for slow cooking. Its size is advantageous, allowing for even cooking, especially for dishes that require sautéing before slow cooking. Additionally, the display is clear and easy to read, enhancing the user experience.
