The skillet is shiny and it was hard to make the photos clear. But please look closely at all the scratches, scuffs and smudges on the roaster as shown on the photos. I made some of the photos look lighter by removing the shine so you can see the scratches clearly. A manual instruction with recipes will be included. I had these Saladmasters year 2011 so it is vintage. I haven’t been using it for years and kept it in the kitchen cabinet. The inside base of the roaster and underneath its bottom has scratches, scuffs and smudges. The induction cooktop is made of ceramic. This is in good condition! As you can see on the photo. SO PLEASE READ MY DESCRIPTION AND MEASUREMENTS. Want to shop for more Saladmaster? I have one other listing which is the wok.
