Electric Fry Pan?

I know that most of us have had an electric fry pan at some point of our lives. Got one back in the 70s, but really haven't used one in about 25 years. While snowbirding the past few years I feel that cooking certain things on the gas stove in our 5th wheel is difficult due to the high heat produced by the burners. They are hard to turn down to a less hot temp, especially when doing something like pancakes. BTW, I cook on electric at home.

Are any of you doing much cooking with your electric fry pan while camping? We're thinking of getting a new one and wonder if they've changed much in the past umpteen years. Any recommendations? Is an electric griddle an option?

  • Farberware makes one, but it is very large. It also has a high dome lid making storage doubly difficult.

    Square ones hold a lot more food.


    EDIT : Well ours must be a "vintage" model that is no longer in production. The current model is square and has a glass lid.
  • Instead of a fry 0an consider something like the Cuisinart Griddler. With two different cooking plates, you can make sandwiches or pancakes. Personally I like cooking with gas. Easy to regulate, quick response time. BTW last house we had Halogen electric burners, so we got used to fast heat response times a long time ago.
