Sunbeam Duraceramic FP6000

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

If you are after a “”stick” (no non) appliance this is the one for you – This is the absolute worst - everything sticks and then burns in a nano second. It’s impossible to scrub clean. Show details

Runs too hot and burns everything – Pan runs far too hot & burns everything. Apparently there's a YouTube video out up by Sunbeam advising owners to 'season' their pans every 4-6 months. Only upside is the pan looks nice & it's huge. Show details

Perfect – I must be lucky considering all of the negative reviews. I bought two of these (one for my Mum) about 3 years ago and we haven't had any of the problems others have reported. We both love our skillets and can't really fault them. Show details ·  1

Happy with it – Read lots of mixed reviews, my experiences are good. Cooked the best eggs and bacon. I found it best to use oil while cooking and make sure not to leave it on hot. Medium to minimum heat seems the best. Show details

Needs TLC to work – I like the pan but man it’s a lot of work to maintain. I see a lot of discussion about seasoning the pan before use, I followed what the booklet said and it still stained but most of mine came off when washed. It could be easier though…. Show reply

Worst frypan we’ve ever purchased – Regret not reading reviews before purchasing this frypan.poor temperature control, everything burns,after cooking on the weekend we had to open windows and doors to let Smokey air escape. Only purchased 3 weeks ago and already a black ring around element. Total waste of money. Very disappointed!!! Product needs to be recalled. Show details

Should be recalled as it is not fit for the purpose of cooking food! – If you want a frypan that concentrates its heat into a small confined area to perfectly incinerate your food then this is the one for you. To Sunbeam... dont say sorry... just recall it.... complete junk. Show details

Garbage – This product is Garbage! You would be better off finding an old piece of scrap metal and cooking on that! Thermostat is useless and the "non-stick" properties non existent! Steer clear! Show details

It's REALLY BAD – Food was sticking after first use. We cooked in avocado oil, used a silicone spatula, and only wiped it with a sponge. The pan cost three times as much as the others in the store. Last time we had a Big W cheapie and it was great. There were no alternatives left in store this time, and I am filled with REGRET. Do. Not. Purchase. Show details

Burn marks on first use – The first time I used this frypan, (for cooking bacon and eggs) it ended up with a brown stain where the element runs, Not even a magic block would remove it. Second use I cooked chicken fillets. They stuck so badly that I had to soak for 2 hours. I contacted Sunbeam who said they were emailing me paperwork for a refund. I never received the… Read more

email. When I rang back, they hung up on me. Thank goodness the Good Guys were happy to give me a refund. I wish I had read some more reviews before buying.

Worst Electric Frypan We Have Owned – Stained on first use and looks more filthy after every use. Everything sticks to it, impossible to even flip an egg. Very disappointed Show details

Awful – Having bought many Sunbeam products, this is the worst frypan I've ever purchased. Terrible uneven heating element. One end stews everything, other end burns everything black. Would certainly NEVER recommend. Show details

Terrible – Temperature control is useless. For starters it's terrible at spreading the heat evenly, I end up with a shocking burnt crust following the circle of the element underneath. Secondly there's no modulation of the temperature, it's either on or off! Where you put the temperature setting simply controls how long the element is on for. This means even… Read more

at low settings you will burn anything sitting directly over the elements path. It also means you can't simmer anything, you can only set it to cycle between boiling vigorously or sitting there doing nothing.

This frypan is the worst product I've ever used – The frypan doesn't heat properly, it states nothing will stick but it does, it leaves burn marks on the coating which will not come off, the black coating on the outside keeps coming off and staining my tea towels when drying it. Sunbeam has truly let me down with this product, has there been a recall? Show details

The smell and the burn ring – I wash it completely and let it dry. I use a cream cleaner after each use. The burn mark is impossible to remove. I cannot get over the smell that comes from the pan after storage, i have to rewash it before i use it again. Show details

Disappointed – The worst pan ever I have always bought sunbeam this pan has horrible temperature control and everything sticks never again will I buy a ceramic fry pan I hope they lift there game Show details

So disappointed – Bought my Sunbeam ceramic frypan about3 months ago. Hate it.if you spray it .....it always burns and food is discoloured, and all food STICKS to the pan in the circle of the element...Even on medium there is a problem. It loomed so good, but I am terribly disappointed in the product..

Worst buy ever – This product has never worked according to promotion. Food has stuck to heating ring since the first use and has NEVER wiped clean with a damp cloth. Now need a glass scraper to get food off the baked on heating ring. Show details

good product – we owned the normal teflon coated sunbeam electric frypan before this until it was worn out I would say it took about 60 to 70 cooks before the nonstick was not working so we tried this new coating it takes a bit of care not to go too hot with this coating used it about six times and it is great so far, we mostly cook stirfrys and stews etc easy to clean but dont go too hot with the temp. low/ medium is good. the surface is still perfect. Show details

Worst frying pan I’ve ever used! – Everything sticks, doesn’t heat consistently, cleaning is near impossible without the use of heavy duty cleaner & scours, still get left with a brown mark around the element. Would not recommend! Show details

Worst ever! – As we have a house full of Sunbeam electrical items we decided to buy the Sunbeam ceramic frying pan when our trusty Sunbeam Teflon frying pan finally gave up. I have never been so disappointed. The temperature is uncontrollable and it is impossible to cook anything at a constant temperature. I have persevered but today, as I write this, my… Read more

kitchen smells of burning food as a result of cooking in the ceramic frying pan. I am sad to say no more Sunbeam for us.

Shame sunbeam shame – I went onto the internet to try and find a way to clean this Sunbeam Duraceramic fry pan as l cooked a curry in it for the first time after owning it for about 3 months. There is a black ring half way around the pan in line with the element that 3 days worth of soaking,scrubing and boiling water in it has not removed. So when l googled my request,… Read more

this product review page came up. Seeing pictures from other people with the same issue and agreeing with the inconsistency of it's heating abilities,l can only come to the conclusion that this is a very poor product. What is extremely disappointing is that some of these reviews are over 2 years old all stating the same issues, yet this useless waste of $79 is still on the shelves. In the infamous words of Darryn Hinch " Shame Sunbeam shame". To my fellow consumers looking for a new frypan, aviod this product like the plague. You will only end up disappointed and outraged like the thousands of others who purchased this appliance.

Absolute nightmare – Food sticks, can't control temperature. Washing is so hard. Leaves a black mark. Have tried soaking it but looks so old and only got it for mothers day this year. Totally agree with all reviews. Show details

Does everything an electric frypan should – Bought this frypan a few days ago. Have used it 3 nights in a row, cooking 3 different styles of food. Cooking outside in the cold too as we live in a caravan (amd I won’t cook inside). This frypan has delivered every meal so far amd is so easy to clean. Early days but I’m very happy with it so far.  Show details

Extremely poor design – From the very first cook the food was sticking to the heat ring in the pan. Food was very inconsistently cooked - some well and truly burnt and others were still raw. Extremely hard to clean. Purchased this pan after being happy with the original black pan as we thought it would be even better quality given the higher price tag. We returned this pan and swapped for the original one, much better quality and evenly cooks.  Show details

Who designed this piece of bunk? – Can’t hold a temperature. Switches between boiling hot to nothing at all. Absolutely useless if you have a recipe that requires constant, stable temperature (pretty much like every recipe I’d think?). Nobody would buy this fry pan if they knew about the shoddy temperature control. Show details

Sunbeam DuraCeramic Frypan FP6000 – I got this electric frying pan for Mother's Day one week ago. This is the worst electric frying pan I've ever owned. Everything sticks to the bottom of it and even after soaking it in water for hours it was impossible to clean. I will be attempting to return it to Big W where my husband bought it from but I'm not sure if they will give me a refund because it has been used. It has completely turned me off buying Sunbeam products. Show details
