Don't know why I bothered other than the price was *cheap*, but am sure it will come in handy. If not mark it up and sell it on.

Nice Shiny Interior
Wanted something other than Teflon (cannot abide the stuff), but non-reactive unlike aluminum.

Those Sunbeam frypans with the crockery insert go for good money on Fleabay. I found a harvest gold version w/ the crock insert at an estate sale several years ago, and gifted it to Jim "AutoWasherFreak" as a housewarming gift. Last time I heard, it was still going strong.

Nice find!
I like the idea of that non-Teflon coating inside. (I also avoid Teflon.) I'll have to keep my eyes open for these. I'd assumed that they either were plain aluminum inside (which I don't want) or Teflon. I'm happy with stainless steel, but this style is more the electric skillet style I remember from growing up....

You've been on a spree!
Nice skillet, never have seen a porcelain coating like this. Very interesting, you must give it a try and let us know what you think.
"Clean Clear Through" do you know what year the FAB is from?

Fab
Near as one can guess, my box is circa 1950

As One Just Fried Up A Mess of Chicken Last Sunday
On the range using my vintage Wanger "1891" cast iron "chicken fryer" pan won't be doing that again anytime soon. We're still working or way through that bowl of chicken sitting in the fridge so another fried dish won't happen for awhile.
A quick glance through the owner's manual/recipe book turned up all sorts of things Sunbeam claims can be made in this "frypan" including cakes and steaks.
@polkanut,
The isn't the much sought after "slow cooker" fry pan. The porcelain is a coating on the inside and does not come out.

Those sunbeam frying pans were quite versatile
Seems all my aunts and friend's moms had them when I was younger, either the older style with the single handle, and the control knob built into the handle, or the newer design like yours, but all theirs were either plain aluminum, or 2 of my aunts had teflon lined versions.
Most of them used their electric skillets almost daily, whether for frying, sauteing, deepfrying (a few aunts had versions that came with a square deep fryer basket that fit the skillet exactly), stewing like a slow cooker (even the ones who didnt have the crockery inserts would use theirs as a slow cooker), and for baking when it was too hot to use the real oven.
Between being used in the summer to keep heat down in the kitchen, and to provide an extra burner when cooking for large crowds, those electric skillets saw a lot of use. I have one and still use it as a small countertop oven in the summer by placing a small rack in the skillet, and then putting the baking pan on the rack. Mine looks awful, as the previous owners didn't take very good care of it, but it works perfectly.
