Presto 06620 11-Inch Electric Skillet Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've been using this pan on a daily basis for about two weeks now and I can say it has met all my demands of it. Eggs and bacon are cooked to perfection without burning either. It heats up quickly, and low temperature works for most foods. I like the fact that the heat is contained in the pan and doesn't heat up the room like gas or electric stove top burners do. The lid is deep enough to allow you to cook a small chicken or roast. The last test I wanted to do was fry pancakes as one reviewer said it wouldn't get hot enough to do it. Well, I was amazed at how well it did fry pancakes. Using thin batter was better than thick, but it fried either one to a golden brown. As far as I'm concerned this is a top quality product and will do anything you require of it. The temperature control is in degrees instead of warm medium and high as some of the others I've looked at. That feature came in handy with the pancakes as the instructions were to preheat to 375 degrees. Well, that's what I did and it was perfect. Cleanup is a breeze because of the non-stick surface, and the entire pan can be immersed in water with no harm or danger. I can't imagine what else I would want it to do. I would highly recommend this product and will buy it again if it fails after a reasonable amount of time.

Update, October 2008. After two months of non stop use, some of the non-stick surface is starting to bubble. Read the warnings carefully, it tells you to not let it soak in water. I didn't let it soak, but I let food stand in it sometimes overnight. I've stopped doing that, and there is no more deterioration of the surface. I will still rate it highly, and be more careful in the future. I guess I just didn't think a non-stick surface could be harmed by food sitting on it over night.Live and learn I guess.

Update. December 2008. Well last week I scraped off the rest of the "non-stick" coating. I was worried that if I didn't I would be eating it. It started coming off in large pieces a few weeks ago. So, the coating is not very good. I have several non-stick pans and pots that are many years old but still have the non-stick surface intact. Still, the electric skillet works good, but you have to use oil or spray when cooking or it will stick to the pan. Beware, the non-stick stuff they use is NOT what you are used to seeing in a pan. Still use it almost daily though:)

Presto 06850 16-inch Electric Skillet Review

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!

Product Description:
A convenient addition to any busy kitchen, this electric rectangular-shaped skillet provides exceptional versatility. With its 16-inch-diameter cooking surface, the skillet can be used as a griddle for pancakes, French toast, and grilled sandwiches, or with the high-dome cover in place, it can bake a casserole, fry chicken, or cook a roast or a stew. The unit's heavy cast-aluminum warp-resistant base heats up quickly and distributes heat evenly, while its Control Master heat control maintains accurate cooking temperatures. The skillet's innovative EverNu cover won't dent, warp, peel, or bend, and the lid handle and side handles stay cool to the touch for safety. The appliance also supplies a nonstick surface, inside and out, to ensure effortless food release and easy cleaning. With the heat control removed, the immersible unit can be washed by hand or in the dishwasher. The 1500-watt electric skillet measures 5-3/5 by 18 by 13-8/9 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

Presto 06852 16-Inch Electric Skillet with Glass Cover Review

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.
