Zojirushi EP-PBC10 Gourmet d'Expert Electric Skillet

Wow this hotpot/bbq pot is amazing! Every Japanese has one of those in their household. We have been using this one ever since we bought it and it’s been great! The hot pot and barbecue function help us to cook in different ways.Very easy to use to use to! Also very easy to clean. Love it.

I bought this to use on the truck when I drove over the road, and it was great for that! I still use it almost exclusively. It handles scrambled eggs, chicken, steaks, pork chops, soups, stews, and sauces—everything—and is super easy to clean.

The best thing I have purchased 🙌.The way it cooks the meats and vegetables.I use it more than my stove now so easy to clean. This skillet has a great heat distribution, Meat is juicy.

We are a family of three and I use this for cooking breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It’s easy to use and clean. I can make perfect pancakes, toast bread, grilled sandwiches, stir-fried food, noodles, and more. It doesn't take long to cool off after each use.

Good for hot pot and good for korean/jap BBQ. I like it.

The electrical cord connecting the appliance to the outlet is short. I would have to use an extension cord. Although this is permitted under several conditions, the instructions prefer that it be connected to a "wall outlet," which makes me apprehensive about using it. I would like to know other users' experiences using an extension cord. I have not used it yet.Thanks very much.

The media could not be loaded. Love, love, love. Glad I listened to the reviewer who said this size was big enough for most uses. I was looking at the larger one with all the bells and whistles but now that I have this one it's more than enough. It is pretty large for one person, probably too big, but I make it work. It can easily feed 3 people comfortably. It heats up quickly and cooks foods just as it should. My maiden run was with a recipe from Just One Cookbook and it was delish. It cleans like a dream - no burned food or sauce. I have many Zojirushi products and they have all been well worth the money and function exactly as they should. The fuzzy logic rice cookers are also excellent.

I love this electric nabe pot so much!! It heats up fast - you must keep lid on to get broth boiling. It holds enough nabe (Japanese hot pot) stew ingredients for four people at a time, maybe a little more. Don't let the depth fool you - you can fit a lot in here! I use it for cooking nabe all winter long. I have also sauteed in it when my stove was occupied by too many pots.Keep in mind that the primary use for this is to heat liquid or semi-liquid foods like stews and broths, even fondues. That is why the bottom of the pot is slightly concave because it is not meant to be a flat frying pan. I think Zojirushi tries to demonstrate American recipes in order to market some of their products in the US, when these products were really intended to make certain Japanese recipes. So some people get confused about how this kind of pot isn't perfectly flat on the bottom, or wonder if it's supposed to be like a crock pot slow cooker, etc. The concave bottom helps with heat distribution and it is made for cooking soup-type foods to be eaten immediately AT THE TABLE while you cook, like nabe, sukiyaki, shabu shabu. If you can find other creative uses, that's great! But don't expect it to do all things as if it wasn't primarily an electric Japanese stew pot.It's also super easy to clean, and very safe with the cord that unplugs if tugged while in use so it doesn't still the pot all over. And electric is much safer than those gas canister nabe burners I used to have!If you are considering this one, the EP-PBC10 or the other Zojirushi model EP-RAC50 that has two inner pots (one deep and one shallow), I highly suggest getting this one, the EP-PBC10. The reason is because the depth of the pot makes zero difference if you are sauteeing food, which is what Zojirushi tries to say the shallow pot is for with the EP-RAC50. But I checked out that model in person at a store, and the shallow pot still has the slightly concave bottom as the deep pots, so it doesn't make any difference when sauteeing. You could do the sauteeing in the deeper pot. The inner pot that comes with this EP-PBC10 model is in between the two sizes of the pots with the EP-RAC50. I find the one pot that comes with this EP-PBC10 model to hold enough volume for the four-person nabe stew cooking I do. If I had the EP-RAC50, I would probably never use the shallow pot, and the deeper pot would be bigger than I need.I hope this helps anyone else who wondered the same things that I did about these two models.
