I purchased two of these skillets for a recent camping trip.First let me complain (but please notice that I still gave this item a five-star review). You need a long-shafted screwdriver to put them together. I decided to assemble them at the campground (so they didn't get damaged in transport) and I ended up having to go buy a screwdriver because mine was too short. Next, it would be nice if companies like Coleman would make boxes that would hold the item in it's assembled form. I mean, people don't use many of these things on a daily basis, so to keep these items from being damaged, they should have a box that fits the assembled item or maybe even a plastic storage case.Now, onto the good stuff... I was really impressed with item's functionality, durability, and quality.First, I was cooking for a small army on this recent camping trip. One skillet was able to hold 3 dozen scrambled eggs (with room to spare) and I was amazed at how quickly and evenly it cooked. I also used it to melt butter for corn-on-the-cob. On High, it melted quickly and on Low, it kept the butter warm without burning it. Continuing on with functionality, the InstaStart was a good idea, but I think it needs some refinement. It took three or four clicks before the skillet would fire up, but it did work well overall. Additionally, the skillet was designed in such a way that you could very easily use a match if the ignitor ever broke.Second, the durability... One of the skillets was knocked off the picnic table that it was perched upon. The propane tank immediately popped off which was a nice safety feature. The skillet itself was totally unharmed. I didn't see a single scratch or dent on it. The cover is made of thin metal, so I could see where it could be damaged; however, it seemed to withstand this three foot drop very well.Third, the quality... The skillet's cooking surface itself is fantastic. It is truly "non-stick" and the clean-up was unbelievably quick. For one meal, I even used a metal spatula to turn the eggs. Of course, I was gentle because I didn't want to scratch the surface. It was very smooth and just feeling the metal spatula gliding across the surface of the skillet. I wouldn't suggest using a metal spatula (I did because I forgot to bring a plastic one), but I would suspect that it would take a good deal of cooking before the metal-on-metal would cause some damage.I would highly recommend these skillets. Not only did they work well for cooking, they're also very useful for warming. Additionally, while researching these, I was unable to determine the depth of the skillet pan from any of the websites that sell this product. It's approximately 2 inches deep, so it can hold a good amount of food. I was cooking for 20 people and two of these skillets held more than enough eggs for everyone. Also, we diced up 10 pounds of potatoes with 5 onions and a package of bacon. We cooked it in 2 skillets, but once it was cooked down, it all fit into one skillet (heaping - but allowed the cover to be placed on with no problem). We also had quite a bit left over even after 20 people had eaten.For the price, these skillets are a fantastic deal! Considering the outstanding functionality, diversity, durability, and quality of this product, I couldn't imagine anything comparable at this price.

We purchased this item recently for a family camping trip. It cooks great and is a great concept for easy camp cooking that requires a large cooking surface. I have the greatest respect for Coleman products but this one still has some problems. We had two parts on the Skillet break or degrade. One of the four feet on the skillet broke after the first use, yes it was bumped against the edge of a camp table but not with much force. Coleman graciously sent a replacement foot and hopefully this will not be a regular problem. The second problem was more worrisome. Of the two O-rings on the orifice fitting of the propane regulator, one came off and was lost, the other shredded and completely broke. I searched local hardware stores but the width/diameter combination of the o-rings does not match the usual plumbing stock. Coleman would not give me the dimensions nor sell me any spare o-rings. The only option offered by Coleman was to buy a new regulator ! I'm worried about the integrity of the propane seal.

This Portable Skillet is a must have for camping. It heats up quickly and burns evenly. I used it Memorial Weekend and its size is perfect for family cooking or a complete one pan meal for two. It's a great extra cooking tool for the serious camper. I am well satisfied with the purchase and will be using it frequently along with my cooking stove. Great product.
