Despite obsessively preparing the pan before cooking, it sticks most foods. It is also overpowered, so there you can not adjust temperatures at a low levels. It does not do what it advertises, and I would you urge you to avoid it.

I bought this frying pan as I got sick and tired of throwing out the "non stick" type due to chipping and food burning and getting stuck beyond help!
I LOVE this frying pan, cooks my meat and dishes beautifully. Sometimes food does get stuck, but its Easy as to clean!! I LOVE IT!!

I hoped getting a stainless steel electric frypan would be an expensive way to stop food sticking. Well everything sticks from pancakes to meat patties, I find the thermostat is odd as have to keep turning it up to fall to keep cooking.

I replaced my 20 year Sunbeam Stainless Steel fry pan with this one but cannot control the heat at all. You need the thermostat in the off position most of the time. It is still under warranty so will try and replace it.

I have thrown away so many fry pans over the years. Went into an electrical store one day and the sales lady told me about the Stainless Steel frypan, specifically this one. I am writing this 8 years later. it has never failed me.. just remember to let it cool after cooking, and put some water in, then simply WIPE clean. amazing. love it!

In a word, this frypan is wonderful. I have always had Sunbeam frypans and this one tops them all. After cooking, just pour in some cold water and by the time you are ready to wash up, everything comes off easily with no need for hard scrubbing. It can go in the dishwasher as well but I don't bother as it is rather large. I would definitely recommend it to anyone. There is a 25 year guarantee on the stainless steel.

I have an older model of sunbeam fry pan it was amazing, easy to clean in and out. The model obviously had discontinued long time ago. The only problem, it was too small and shallow.
I bought this newer model it was big enough, deep enough. It get hot very fast. It made of stainless steel, that's the reason why I bought it.
But the design is pretty bad, it has too many corners and narrow spaces where oil and food can stuck, including the bottom of the pan where there are many small ventilations and plastic legs. It is pretty heavy too. I am not disappointed with this model,but i wish sunbeam could come up with better design.

The thermostat on my stainless steel banquet frypan has never worked properly, I must start on no higher than 3 setting and finish cooking on "off" for quite some time. I cannot use olive oil at all as it sets off the fire alar ms. Very disappointed I n product and will not buy any more Sunbeam products. Which I have always bought for over 50years. A real lemon. Bought at Harvey Norman in 2017 and from first use it has been frustrating.

We've had ours for years now with no problems. Works great, easy to clean. Strong hygienic stainless steel - good quality. Cook up some sausages and chops, make a big one dish meal, stir-fry, shallow fry, does it all. Loved it so much I bought another one for my daughter

Frypan itself works beautifully, problem is the bakelite surround which covers the control probe broke . Rang Sunbeam to be told no such part available, and my 2 1/2 year old stainless steel frypan won't be covered under warranty . Bad luck . Won't be buying another Sunbeam appliance ever.

Was very happy with my purchase until I used it for the first time after recommended seasoning. Now I'm stuck with burnt oil stains. Instruction booklet doesn't cover this issue so I contacted Sunbeam Customer Support online and 3 weeks later they have not responded to my enquiry. All I want to know is how to remove this grime without damaging the frying pan.

From the start we have had problems with the control probe. Too hot or too cool. The medium temperature is hard to work. We love the fact the pan gets very hot and is stainless but we like it hot when we want it to be hot.
The sad thing is that we still have our Sunbeam fryer from the 1960s (late 69) and it still works perfectly but we needed the larger size. The difference in quality of the probe is staggering.

If you are in the market for an electric frying pan can highly recommend this one. I stopped using my gas stove top frying pans and my slow cooker as this does the job of both and with minimal washing up and so easy to use. Easily my best ever kitchen purchase!

Found the temperature control gave either below simmer (on 1) or excessively boiling (2 +). Just out of warranty (just my luck!) so took the chord to Sunbeam repairer in Brisbane. His advice -buy a new chord as the frypan itself would be OK. Bought the new chord and was OK for few months. Extreme temperature fluctuations again - really poor functioning for day to day cooking. Have now moved to a regional area and no Sunbeam dealer! I get the staining as well if I heat it up incorrectly - came off ??I think with Gumption and soaking.

Very happy with Sunbeam Stainless Steel Frypan, yes you do have to be careful with the temperature control but just use common sense, going to buy 1 each as presents for Xmas for the kids (grownup) Dishwasher safe love it comes up so clean each time. LOVE IT ! LOVE IT

First thing i noticed was how evenly the heat was distributed because of the element shape and it also heats up fast. Like others have said the pan will discolour directly above the element but it does not effect performance in any way. This is what happens to stainless when it gets really hot. It is called stainless because it won't rust or corrode not because it won't discolour. This pan cooks food really well due to the even heat distribution and i would recommend it to anyone looking for a good quality frypan. Another plus is you don't have to worry about non stick coating wearing out which is usually the reason you have to buy a new pan in the first place.

I followed the instructions for 'seasoning' the pan on page ten of the instruction manual that cam with the frypan and now it has a golden brown stain across the bottom. I don't mind but it has disfigured the looks of the pan and I am not sure if this is normal?
