I've never owned an electric skillet, and neither did my mother. No one I've
ever cooked with has had one. The only one I've seen in action lately was an
ancient model in the home of someone who doesn't like to use her stove or
oven.

But now, a couple of people have told me how indispensable the electric
skillet it. Perfect for poaching fish. Even, easily adjustable temperature.
Great for pancakes, burgers, meatballs....Best thing ever... blah, blah,
blah.

Not having ever owned or used one, I guess I don't know what I'm missing. I
mean, I have a stove and oven and pots and pans that get a lot of use. Is
there something the electric skillet is particularly suited for that I can't
do as well on the stove or in the oven? Is it worth having one, or is it a
waste of space?
