There are several reasons why you might be in the market for a new electric skillet. These small kitchen appliances can be a true lifesaver in the kitchen. For example, if you're cooking multiple recipes at the same time, an electric skillet could provide you with an extra cooking zone. They're also generally better at providing even and consistent heat than a stovetop. This can be a great asset when you're searing meat, cooking sauce, and more — you will have fewer worries that the dish will turn out as expected. Electric skillets are also portable. So, if you are going to an event, you could even bring your skillet to cook a meal there or keep something you already prepared hot.

Now that you're convinced that you need an electric skillet — if you weren't already — there's just one problem.
