Anywhere online that I can find a 220v appliance at a decent price? Looking for a small skillet for travel.

If just for travel then its probably a better option (and cheaper) to just buy a converter

Why would you say that? Converters for heating elements are quite pricey

And buying a 220 skillet online will be no cheaper

Could be 220v items in the US are more expensive because they're specialty items. You might want to take a look at amazon.co.uk

That shows 58 plus around 20 for tax and shipping.
A travel converter that would work for this can be had for as low as 15

Wrong

So its a good thing that the one I bought for 17 and used for precisely this function worked wonders and didn't overheat or worse

I have converters and adapters, and they have worked fine in the past. Reason I want 220v is that with the amount of travel that I do it would just be easier to have a 220v instead of dealing with a converter. I have 2 converters and they both work with my skillet however I am always so busy with the adapters and converters which at times can act up that i prefer a 220v.
