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 details

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 details

Steer 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 details

Don'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 details

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! Show details

Very 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. Show details

Rubbish

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. Show details

Highly recommended

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 ·  1

This 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 ·  1

Disappointing!

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! Show details

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.

Why would I want another one of the same??? Reading the reviews I am not alone in my summation of the product!! A voucher to buy another skillet from another brand would be the go???????????

Well, not a good start. 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.

Sounds like you have a dud. Need to return it to have it replaced under warranty.
