I think mine's a West Bend, and I've used it for decades. Big, square, high-dome lid (although I've really never needed it). I saw in the new JCP Cook's catalogue, they have a 5" deep "chicken fryer" with a high lid (I think) - don't know anything about longevity, but you might take a look at the website. N. |

They're great for re-flowing solder on surface mount PC-Boards. The reason they're great is you have fairly granular control over the temperature and they're cheap. |

My Sunbeam was used for desoldering chips from surplus circuit boards, back when Dad was teaching high school electronics. He'd remove the chips from donated circuit boards, then repackage them as kits for his students to build. He had a fairly large selection of little gadgets the students could build from recycled parts. This was back in in the 1970's and 1980's when you could still do that sort of thing. He even had a set up for etching circuit boards for the kits. Eventually, the rise of the personal computer sucked away all of the students that would have taken the electronics courses into studying software. That, plus the shortage of qualified math teachers, killed the electronics program. Dad spent the last decade of his career teaching math. |

It's a large rectangular one with the high-dome lid. I don't use it terribly often (forget that I even have it), but when I do, it always works great! |

West Bend and a few other brand names of the same manufacturing company have demonstrations at home shows. They try to get you to buy an entire set but they do offer individual pieces. Mine is getting close to 20 years old now and it still looks like new and works like new. List me as a happy customer. Last year we got one of their salad chopper/spinners. The high dome lid is flat on the top. A couple of times a put other pans on top to cook in a stack. Fun game but more work than it's worth. |

![]() Sunbeam electric frypan Group: rec.food.cooking Date: Wed, Jan 9, 2008, 8:56pm (EST-3) From: (Terry*Pulliam*Burd) "When my old Farberware croaked, I vowed that I would never again get something that wouldn't allow me to put an entire cutup chicken in it without crowding the chicken. I also wanted something big enough to cook a half dozen pork chops at once, three split game hens or just a large dinner party portion of whatever. I settled on a: http://www.cuisinartwebstore.com/pro...=CUI+CSK%2D150 Spine?" Terry "Squeaks" Pulliam Burd -------------------------------------- That exactly what Ive been looking for thanks so much!I put in my email to be notified when its available.Im a big batch cooker also,always have been.I guess its a throwback to my restaurant days. Winn-Dixie has thier 40% off all their chicken sales this week at .69 lb.(whole),so I,ll stock up.Roast 2,keep 1for soup and the rest for the freezer.I still have 4 packs of pork chops from When Albertsons had their .79 lb. sale last month.My local produce stand has much cheaper prices than the big stores,so I have all bases covered.Some of my best pork roasts I.ve made in my old Sunbeam. Ihave a recipe I wrote up,,but have to dig it out of my files and I,ll post it..it changes according to my moods. The spine thing?,well Im glad to say Ive beaten 2 years of hell-on-earth of sciatica.The l-2 and l- 3 in my spine were half out,pressing on my sciatic nerve and leaking.The pain down my legs was excruciating .Its an awfull thing to realize that you wake up one day and cant walk.and in such pain it paralysis you.After 2 hospital stays 3 mri,s (the dreaded tube),various pain killers.,using a walker,Im finally back and well.Ive never been sick in my life really so this floored me.I appreciate each day now that I can walk the 1 block to Walgreens and other things I took for granted (Im up to 2 miles now)swim and keep my back strong.Once in a while I,ll feel a slight twinge and It puts me on my guard Thanks for the feedback and everyone else who was kind enough to respond --------------------------P "Food, Art and Films,What else do you need?...Well.."Tyler Florence reached out his hand and begged me to go with him ..Damn!..thats when I woke up,T'was all a dream" |
