Does anyone have an electric skillet and if so, what do you cook in it?

I saw Alton Brown using one to hold poached chicken or fish to serve and not dry out--
set temp @ 145F. Don't have one, but guess if it isn't marked like that, you could use the "warm" setting and check temp of water?
Sort of a no brainer, but I know those things sure dry out on the steam line or a regular chafing dish.

Fried Chicken, Potato Pancakes, Donuts(once in agreat while) onion,
mushroom,green pepper combo, onion rings,just about anything that has to be fried. I do not do much frying now, but I have an electic outlet on my patio, so if I have to fry anything, I do it outside. That way it dosen't smell up the apt.

My answer is not What, but Where?...
Like Misplaced in AZ, I fry very little, but when I do, I use an electric fry pan outside, on my patio, to keep the grease out of my kitchen, and the smell out of my house. DH loves fried fish, fried oysters, seared steak. I do all of these outside, and any other recipes that call for frying. I'd be lost if I didn't have an electric fry pan!
I also use my Cuisinart Grill/Griddle outside, for the same reason, because my stove exhaust fan is not the best, and I hate to smell last night's dinner when I have coffee in the a.m. I also put my crockpot outside when I use it, for the same reason. Hope this sort of answers your question.

Pancakes, I even cooked my baked beans in it, covered them and let them cook.---
Fried the bacon, wiped most of the drippings, cooked the onins and peppers, poured in the beans and seasonings the rest was history and did'nt have to heat my kitchen up with the oven. I spent most of my life without one when I redid my kitchen my friend lent me her fry pan,and George forman. My crock pot and the microwave and the fry pan were my cooking tools for 4 months. I got hooked, and we don't really fry foods.

Pot Roasts and Braises during the summer to keep from turning on oven. Works great.
