Presto 06617 Fry Pan Review

Presto 06617 Fry Pan
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I got an electric skillet in 1975 and used it until it quit many years later; then I didn't have one and didn't realize how much I missed it. I have this one now, and it is perfect to make pancakes in for one thing; I also use it for casseroles and keeps it warm when done cooking.I really like it for that reason; when family members can't eat together, it keeps it warm and tasty.It is an easy clean up and can all be immersed in water except for the probe that plugs into the wall and then into the pan base.Get one of the skillet cookbooks to go along with it; great gift for the son or daughter in college too.Casseroles, spaghetti, sloppy joe, grilled sandwiches, fry meats like hamburger or pork steaks, fry an egg and bacon, etc.Excellent for party buffet warmer. I will never be without it.

I was so happy to find new handles for my griddle.The griddle is very seasoned and I was sad to find the handles had cracked. I was afraid I had to get a new griddle. These handles are a bit larger than the originals so the griddle no longer fits in the orignal box.:(That makes storage at bit more ackward.

Average Reviews:

I purchased this book to go with the Presto Electric Skillet that I purchased at the same time.The book has some good recipies and definitely shows some of the fancier things that you can prepare with an electric skillet.The problem that I have is that I purchased the skillet and cookbook for my 11-year-old because she wanted to expand her cooking abilities beyond microwave meals and toast.Unfortunately, there are not many recipies in the book that appeal to an 11-year-old.I think it would be better if it included some more very basic meat and potatoes recipies that are more her speed.

The book does have some nice pictures but only has pictures for about a third of the recipies in the book.

Presto 07039 Professional 22-Inch Jumbo Electric Griddle Review

Presto 07039 Professional 22 inch Jumbo Electric Griddle
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I really like this design. It has a slight raised lip running around the outside edge which contains any batters, grease, or other liquids which might run over the edge and create a mess; the grease drain is only on the front edge and is treated with the same sturdy non-stick coating as the rest of the surface, making for easy clean up. Indeed, the lack of plastic attachments make cleanup easy, and I really like the simple design, a very large cooking surface, two plastic handles and a removable plastic grease catch.

The only thing keeping me from rating it a five out of five is that I would have liked to see a thicker aluminum used, the base is only about 2mm thick, though I've been unable to find anything thicker

I just purchased this skillet, and for the price, I am very pleased.I haven't used an electric skillet for years, mainly because they weren't durable.This one is attractive, heats quickly, and is easy to clean.I'm enjoying cooking with it - from simple chicken dishes to meatballs with sauce.The only disappointment, there are no recipes included with the unit, just a flyer describing a cookbook available for purchase (discounted, of course).All in all, I feel this was a good buy.

Don't buy the Deni 8255 skillet.It's junk!The temperature control kicks-on low and continues until it burns the food.It doesn't have a good non-stick surface and the cast aluminum is thin.Get the Presto 06850 16-inch Electric Skillet instead.I did and rated it 5-stars.The Deni is NOT worth buying.

Oster SH12 12-Inch Skillet with Hinged Lid, Black Review

Oster SH12 12 inch Skillet with Hinged Lid, Black
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I received this as a gift to replace my well used West Bend skillet, which kept me going for about 6 years.What had drawn me to the Oster was that it had a tempered glass lid that you could remove or leave hinged and ready to cover your item when needed.

So far I have made pancakes and scrambled eggs in my new skillet and I love it!The non-stick coating allowed items to come off the pan easily and it was a breeze to clean.I also love the glass lid, so I can see the food without having to lift the lid.On the warm setting I was able to keep the eggs ready to eat and warm when breakfast was slightly delayed.There are no vent holes, but this was not a huge deal to me.

If you would like a good, all-around electric skilletthis one is a good price of good quality.

I would definitely recommend.

Product Description:
A necessity for any busy kitchen, this 12-inch Oster electric skillet comes in handy in multiple ways. First, it creates additional cooking space when hosting dinner guests or the extended family during the holidays. Second, its portable design makes it simple to tote along on vacations, to potlucks, or on camping trips as an alternative to testing survival skills over an open fire. Finally, it offers an energy-efficient way to quickly cook, reheat, or warm foods - rather than turning on the oven or stovetop to simply melt cheese on a quesadilla or prepare a few pre-cooked hot dogs. The unit's non-stick interior and exterior ensure easy food release and hassle-free cleanup, while its cool-touch handles allow for safe transport. Furthermore, its removable lid, which hinges open to spare valuable countertop space, offers a tempered-glass dome that contains heat and splatters and allows for at-a-glance monitoring of the sizzling food inside. With its quick-release adjustable temperature control removed, the electric skillet can go in the dishwasher and measures approximately 13 by 16-1/2 by 5-inch.

Proctor Silex 38520G Nonstick Electric Skillet, Black Review

Proctor Silex 38520G Nonstick Electric Skillet, Black
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Well, let's just say I was a more than a little underwhelmed by the Proctor Silex Electric Skillet. Why? For one, the lid was bent out of shape -- so much so that it wouldn't fit on the skillet. Granted, I wasn't expecting too much, as it is bargain priced, but at the same time...jeeze, you want the basics. A lid that's not made of very pliable aluminum would be one of those basic items. Secondly, it's not at all sturdy. Not that I'm planning on dropping it on the floor, but accidents do happen. One fall from the counter, and this thing will be done for.

Other than that, the skillet warms up nicely and is ideal for basic cooking. We tend to use it for pancakes, so the lid really isn't too much of a n issue there.

Would I get it again? No, probably not. I'd go with something a little more sturdy, a little more high-end, and a name brand. You do indeed get what you pay for.

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I purchased this electric skillet when my old trusty electric skillet died.What a mistake!The product is raised in the center, and as a result, any liquid, such as pancake batter or eggs, run to the sides.My biggest complaint is that EVERYTHING sticks to the pan.No amount of oil or butter can stop virtually all foods from sticking.I was initially attracted to this product because it has a removable pan. However, it does not heat evenly.I suspect this is because the pan just sits on top of electric coils, and the heat is not distributed evenly.I do not recommend this product!

Presto 06850 16-inch Electric Skillet Review

Presto 06850 16-inch Electric Skillet
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is our second skillet like this. The first lasted for years before the finish started coming off of the interior so we decided to buy another just like it. The skillet cooks evenly and the heat is easy to control. We purchased through Amazon and J&R Music was the retailer who actually got the order. J&R ships items in the original manufacturers box wrapped only in plastic for protection. The first unit was damaged during shipment and that is when the nightmare began. It was supposed to have been a Christmas gift for my wife and I made that clear when I reported the damage back in early December. They drug their feet making promises of second day delivery and better packaging on the replacement. Bottom line we didn't receive the replacement until December 29th. It wasn't shipped second day as promised, it didn't make it in time for Christmas as promised and once again the box arrived damaged because they only wrapped it in plastic again. Buy the skillet but avoid J&R. Those people just don't get it!

Hamilton Beach 38540 16-inch Step Up Skillet, Black Review

Hamilton Beach 38540 16-inch Step Up Skillet, Black
Average Reviews:

This is definitely a step up in terms of appearance when compared to most skillets in this price range.Performance: the unit heats incredibly fast and evenly.The clip top lid is wonderful, because the edge of the pan has a built-in spout so you can pour of broth, liquid, grease, etc.Just try and do that with an ordinary skillet that doesn't have a locking lid, and doesn't have a pour spout.Temperature control is excellent.The thick rubber feet, and sturdy cast metal frame hold the unit beautifully firmly. 1) The built-in drain on the skillet allow air/steam out of the skillet.I thought that would mean heat and moisture would escape quickly, and this would likely not be ideal for certain cooking styles - I was wrong. I've used this baby a ton, and the little corner spot allows excess heat, but in no way shape or form affects cooking, steaming, boiling, or any style of frying whatever.For me this really didn't matter, because I would only pan fry, fry burger, fry steak, fry eggs, fry bacon, fry pork, fry fry fry and saute.Any type of pan style cooking is performed with ease within the Ham-Beaches coffers.Anyways, my point is this: It's a great piece, works perfectly, has some awesome features, and looks good.Nothing is perfect, but you will love this product, and it clearly will last a long time.Five stars.ADDED:I've removed some thoughts from my initial review, because I didn't know if the pot would do certain things, so let me just say this: "This is easily the finest cooking product I have ever owned".It will do everything, and do it incredibly well.Cleanup is so incredibly easy. I use this product up to 5 times a day.

Presto 06852 16-Inch Electric Skillet with Glass Cover Review

Presto 06852 16 inch Electric Skillet with Glass Cover
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The 16" size of this Presto skillet actually ended up saving room in my kitchen because it replaced both an electric griddle and an old 12" electric skillet. This pan can be used for all kinds of cooking: griddling, frying, grilling, braising, roasting, even baking. The sides are high enough to use it as a chicken fryer or for stirfry. I can check how bacon is frying through the glass lid, minimizing spatter, if any. The temperature control is accurate and the pan heats up quickly, unlike my electric stovetop. In fact, you can get a perfect simmer by turning the knob down just till the light goes out. Also nothing sticks to it. The only two things you have to remember are: 1)spray it with Pam or some other cooking spray the first time you use it (just the first time), and 2)to maintain the nonstick coating, never soak it in water for extended periods (you won't need to soak it, it cleans up fast and easy). I really like this skillet and recommend it highly. I bought it in February and have used it regularly ever since.

NOTE: It is now May 2008 and I still use this electric skillet at least once or twice a week. It has held up beautifully and still looks new. I have to tighten the leg screws now and then but I'm not complaining. I would give this pan six stars if I could.
NOTE: It is now October 2008 and we still use this skillet a couple of times per week at least. It takes about 3 minutes to clean after it cools. I can cook just about anything in it. I like its temperature accuracy and the quick control I have over the heat. I use it all the time.
NOTE: It's now February 2009, and two years since I bought this skillet. I still use it at least once a week and it is holding up just fine. Other than tightening the leg/handle screws now and then, it works as well as the day I received it.
NOTE: It's now January 2010 and the skillet is still going strong. No problems with it at all. We use it every weekend for egg & pancake breakfasts with all the trimmings.
