1. Look through crabmeat to make sure there are no shells or cartilage. Reserve in refrigerator.
2. Preheat the Cuisinart® GreenGourmet® Electric 14-inch Skillet to 325°F. Add the olive oil.
3. Once the oil is hot and shimmering, add the peppers and onions. Let them sweat for about 2½ minutes, or until the vegetables soften slightly. Stir in the garlic and salt; cook for about 5 minutes. Remove vegetables from the Skillet and let them cool to room temperature.
4. Once the vegetables are cool, add them to the reserved crabmeat. To the mixture add the egg, panko, mayonnaise, Worcestershire, Dijon, Old Bay and hot sauce (if using). Very gently mix all of the ingredients together (it is best to do this with clean hands to avoid over-mixing, but you can do it with a spoon if you are careful to keep the crabmeat intact).
5. From the mixture, form ¼-cup round cakes with your hands and place them on a clean plate, separating the layers with wax paper. Cover with plastic and refrigerate for 1 hour before sautéing.
6. Preheat the Cuisinart® GreenGourmet® Electric 14-inch Skillet to 375°F. Add 1½ tablespoons of the vegetable oil.
7. While the Skillet is preheating, lightly dredge the crab cakes in the remaining panko.
8. When the oil is hot, sauté crab cakes in batches, approximately 4 to 6 minutes per side. Crab cakes should be a deep golden brown on each side.
9. Serve immediately with lemon wedges.
