Great little skillet
Yes it does heat up quickly, but that's good. I think as long as you're careful and don't let it overheat, you won't have any trouble. I've had mine for around 12 months, use it every second day for an omelette. So easy to clean. I had a teflon before this, the DuraCeramic is miles better. Love it. Show detailsAbsolute Waste of Money
The first impressions were great but after a few weeks of use everything started to Stick to it,Not at all Happy with this New Model Dura ceramic SK6000 Fry pan,Worst electric frypan ever
Works first couple of times and then starts burning in a ring around the pan All heat is is on one ring and heat control cannot be made as control reads wrong. Now cannot be cleaned with soft scourers. Scrap metal Show detailsHi, Firstly can I ask how old is your frypan?... Read more
. ThanksSteer clear of this frypan
This frypan is terrible. It’s the hardest one I’ve ever had to clean without using an abrasive thing like steel wool. Where the element is, it just burns hard onto the enamel. Taking it back for a refund Show detailsDon't buy this
I wish I'd looked up this product on productreview.com.au before I bought it. It seemed like a good idea at the time. A better skillet frypan. But all the problems reported here in other postings are evident from the first time you use it. I've complained to Sunbeam. They are sympathetic but uninterested. Show detailsDo not buy one Buyer beware!!!
Works great for one or two weeks after a month everything sticks to the pan it’s got a brown coating around the element area and everything now sticks to it The heating light does not work stopped working on day one and the temperature gauge you have to keep it on below minimum or otherwise everything burns no I would not recommend buying one the only reason I bought one of these is that I could not get the sunbeam classic skillet due to Covid and they were all being sold out I’ve only had this frypan for three months but I have ordered a new c... Read morelassic skillet as my old one was awesome and the only reason I had to replace it was it wore out over years of use as for this thing it’s only been three months and I’m going to throw it in the bin because it’s not worth a pinch of salt Just an absolute waste of moneyfood sticks, burns and its hard to clean like many many others testify to
I bought this when I ran out of gas. I want to avoid teflon & i was super happy for about a week or two. Then I started to notice a brown ring & assumed that must be where the heating element sits. I read the instructions again thoroughly to make sure I hadn't done anything wrong. It gets harder & harder to clean so I'm giving up on that now and just thinking that will form another nonstick layer overtime like you do with old fashioned frypans. The ongoing offers of sunbeam to replace it every 12 months (or les thanks to their warranty) is odd ... Read moreto say the least: are we not trying to step away from a chuck on the tip & replace attitude; aren't we all trying to be more sustainable????And how does it make business sense: if everyone followed your advice you'd only be giving away products down the track & going out of business so you are counting on people NOT following up and just wanting to sound/look good. But you only achieve to look like you don't care about our environment. I've not read anywhere that you acknowledge there is an issue with this product and you are in the process of fixing it up. PLUS: very unhandy for left handed people!!Same as all the others
I have purchased many Sunbeam skillets over the years and treat them as a throw away product after 12 months use. As I tend to use the skillet almost 7 days a week, they don’t last. This new Ceramic coat is no different. For the first couple of weeks it was great until I cooked red meat. Now the food is sticking every time I use it and it’s getting harder and harder to clean. Another dud but I’m used to that!

Tired of waiting for old electric stove to heat the pan then takes forever for any temperature adjustments so bought this skillet. I have had a Sunbeam skillet in the past and it served me well. This one is the duraceramic and it much better than the old nonstick type. It heats up fast, holds the heat and cooks well. The heat is evenly distributed so there are no ‘hot’ spots.It is quite easy to clean and not too heavy to lift in and out of the cupboard. Have been using it for a while now and really can’t find a fault with it. Perfect for one ... Read moreor two people. Highly recommend this skillet. UPDATE 23/02/2022 The last few times I have used this appliance it stopped working and the connector probe has needed jiggling and it went again....for a while. Today it simply stopped working. 15 Months! , just out of warranty of course. I definitely do NOT recommend buying this product and changed my stars to reflect this. UPDATE I did contact Sunbeam and they sent me a replacement skillet so as far as customer service goes, yes that was good.

. Enjoy, Sunbeam Customer CareVery disappointed
I got this pan as an alternative to using the solid hotplates of my rental stove that was difficult to control, and burnt everything. I agree with other comments on the poor performance of this product. It was fine and very happy with it for first couple of months, then food started to stick and burn around the element, as per photo. This (photo) is what I am faced with every time I use it, no matter what temp, oil or food used ... Have always cleaned as per instructions with bicarb but this is how it always is now. As its still under warranty I'll be returning it as it does not perform as advertised and I'm avoiding using it. Wish I had read reviews before purchase.

. You're right - As this is a machine that comes with a 12 month replacement warranty, I would recommend that you return this machine to your place of purchase for a replacement/refund. Thank you, Sunbeam Customer CareTerrible
Terrible product have always used sunbeam but this was a waste of money. First use the food stuck even though i moved it around and was on the right temperature. It has stains and marks that wont come off. Never again Show detailsThank you for sharing your current experience, we are sorry to hear you are experiencing difficulties with your SK6000.

ack from you, could I please ask you to send me a private message answering the below questions: 1. Do you use the LOW setting to cook food? The LOW setting has a temperature of 50°C - 70°C and should be used to keeping food warm. At the low setting it is quite normal for food to stop and start bubbling, as the thermostat maintains the selected temperature. This could be one possible reason as to why the cooking heat was irregular. 2. Could I kindly ask you if you had pre-heated your frypan on MAX setting then changed to your desired setting? Not pre-heating the pan like this could be another possible reason to the uneven cooking. We look forward to hearing from you and assisting. Sunbeam Customer CareRubbish
It is worse than the old sunbeam internal black skillet. Looked good out of the box but after three months everything you cook in it sticks like the proverbial you know what to the blanket.

This skillet heats up very quickly, it is an attractive design and pleasing finish. It cooks very thoroughly and the food tastes nutritious. I cooked some onions in 2 minutes, so you can't complain. Highly recommended. Show details · 1This is a great item I love it
I bought this in a for a make shift kitchen as my kitchen is being rennovated. I have used it every day. It cleans beautifully and looks brand new after I clean it. I have made roasts , pancakes, chicken dishes, rice and pasta dishes. I thought it would go in the cupboard when my new kitchen was finished, I am sure it will remain a favourite applicance and will be used in my new kitchen. I cant imagine living without now. I am going to try to bake a cake in it next!!! Show details · 1Disappointing!
I usually buy the Sunbeam classic skillet but I bought the duraceramic version on the understanding that it made things such as potatoes etc. very crisp. Unfortunately, after only a few weeks of use the area where the element is became very brown and everything would stick to it so the crunch on the potatoes would be left on the base of the skillet! :-( I had to wait some time to take it back because the store did not have the replacement I wanted but I have now returned the skillet to the store I bought it from and have replaced it with the classic skillet which I have found over the years to stay non-stick and easy to clean for at least 12-18 months of everyday use!

Thank you for your feedback too.Questions & Answers
Reading the reviews, most have the same problem I have. This skillet obviously has a latent defect where after a short time the food sticks around the element line. Complete rubbish, not good enough Sunbeam. they are obviously only made to last till the warranty has run out (in my opinion), will never buy sun beam again.

Used 12 times or so and the food is already sticking and requiring some considerable effort to clean off. It's a useful size in my tiny kitchen, so can I put a foil tray straight onto the "duraceramic" surface? "Duraceramic" - implying durable. Now there's a misnomer!
Hi Ray L, Sorry to hear of your issue with your Duraceramic Fry Pan. If purchased within the last 12 months and you have your receipt please return to the store of purchase.
The question I asked was whether I could put a foil tray straight onto the "duraceramic" surface
Hi Ray L, Thank you for clarifying . You can use foil however please place carefully to not scratch the surface.
Hi! Love the pan only problem is that even at min temp it chars the food where the element is why is this?
Hi Squizz...send it back as it should not do that.
Jill
Sounds like you have a dud. Need to return it to have it replaced under warranty.
