Is the element the same on the medium size electric skillet as it is in the large one

No. The larger size goes around twice providing a much more even heated surface. The smaller one does not need that. I have both and they are the best electric skillets I have ever owned. And I have owned several.

Is anyone going to explain why there is a red velvet cake in a skillet in the picture? Or is this something we are pretending we aren’t noticing?

You can bake a cake in this on your counter too. NOT by putting this pan in the oven of course!! There are recipes online for baking cakes in a skillet.

Can you use it for deep frying (if not too deep)?

I made home made french fries this evening and used my frying pan to deep fry. By that I mean the oil covered the fries. The frying pan does have depth. I use the frying pan many times during the week. I really like the even heat.

I used my pan for the first time last nite and was disappointed. My thermostat plug does not fit securely. Basically it is loose. Why

My plug has a release on the side. Be sure to snugly line up the heating unit and push firmly.
