Best Sunbeam Electric Skillets and Woks

My 1976 Sunbeam deep fryer died just recently. Has been used at least weekly since then, so great value. I purchased the DF4500 as a replacement and have been very pleased with its performance. Show details

The coating – Although well made ,the non stick coating does not last ...and then the product becomes largely useless. Sunbeam .....please update this product with a proper coating that will last . otherwise it doesn't stack up. Show details

Absolute waste of money. After 6 months the thing stopped heating and broke down. Hugely disappointing as is a very expensive item. Show details

Love it. Mainly use it between min and medium setting. Maintains steady temp with thermostat. Light turns on when heating and turns off when temp reached. Wipe it out with a paper towel for the next use Show details

Not cooking on highest setting – Up until last night I was very impressed. However, I was in the middle of cooking a meal and noticed that the meal of stir fry veg and chicken was… Read more

not cooking....just sitting there. It had been working ok on the medium setting and then nothing. I turned up to highest setting still nothing. The light was on constantly but the food was no longer cooking. I said to my hubby a retired electrician "would it be anything to do with the fact it is 5 pm and others cooking evening meal?" He said it could be but I do not know. In the end of just looking at the food just sitting there I turned it off and finished the meal on my induction cooktop. No problems with heat there. I only purchased this skillet on 3rd of May. rehandra just now

I have another question about my new Skillet. The thermostat probe seems to come out "too" easily. I do not even have to use the trigger thingie on the side. I am bit concerned there is a problem with it.

crap appliance – my experience is the same as many here heating stops and starts just has to be the thermostat cord ive used it for a little while and just find it… Read more

frustrating so between a breville wok and a breville sandwich toaster i survive notice i used breville twice that means future appliances will be breville i have now put it in the rubbish bin i would be ashamed to give to charity i see sunbeam read the comments so take note i also have found the breville non stick coating to be superior to sunbeam

Scary – I didn't even get to use it! Plugged it in for the very first time, and it blew the switch. I had to go to my meterbox to flick it back on. Now too scared to use it.

Gets up to temperature fast. Real fast. Holds heat well even when adding large quantities. Best part is you can properly burn food and sauces in… Read more

there and it just wipes out with a paper towel. Be careful not to use steel utensils though because it does scratch the coating. Wooden or plastic spoons are fine. You never need to use anything abrasive to clean it. Dishwasher safe as the bottom detaches. I use it as a steamer as well.

Very disappointing – I have had the same issues as most other people. This frypan looks disgusting after one use. The black burn ring is impossible to remove. The cream coloured coating has been come off around the rim where the lid makes contact. Show details

Not worth it – The non stick coating comes off easily, which seems to not be unusual for products across brand at the moment, my relatively new raco pots have the… Read more

same issue despite us only using silicone utensils and washing all items as recommended. Very frustrating. The temperature control is erratic and temperamental. And most recently one of the handles completely snapped off. I don’t want to buy a new pan yet as the thing still cooks, but buying a replacement handle seems to be tricky/not accessible. This is our second sunbeam frying pan and we have been disappointed with both, unfortunately. I don’t recall when exactly we bought our current one but it is no more than 18months old. Gone are the days when products were actually reliable.

The Sunbeam stainless steel electric frypan is manufactured very well. It has a double layer of S/Steel for even distribution of heat. The 6Kg… Read more

weight designed to keep the even temperature. The temperature dial could have been better designed with larger nodules but overall the glass lid and stainless steel grid can be used for roasting. I am pleased to have purchased the Sunbeam frypan. My last sunbeam frypan lasted Forty years.

Shockingly Made in China – Purchased the Sunbeam Banquet & Skillet set 1st set returned faulty thermostat Replacement worse as shabbily made 2 major joins on Banquet frypan … Read more
