The Maxi-matic was purchased to cook breakfast and reheat leftovers, but it does neither satisfactorily. The pan is either on (high) briefly or it turns itself off, too hot for an egg and doesn't stay on long enough for safe reheats. Part of the problem may be a faulty temperature control,but the thinness of the pan itself is probably to blame for the super fast cooking; too bad, because the cost of returning the item from Hawaii means it will just sit on the shelf until I can replace it with another small skillet.....that works.
