Presto 06857 16-inch Electric Foldaway Skillet, Black

This is a great kitchen appliance, one that I have been missing for a while since my last one (not this brand/model) was destroyed by my ex-wife (hint to the reader or spouses thereof - don't leave these things sitting overnight soaking in water. It's really not good for the skillet or the marriage). This was the first thing I bought after our divorce - okay, just kidding, we didn't divorce, but she did destroy it that way, and the instructions tell you not to do that. Wait until it is cool, then gently clean with soap and water - I was very guilty with our last one of not waiting until it was cool. I know this isn't supposed to be an instructional review on cleaning, but this is key to the skillet actually lasting a long time. People often kill their skillets by cleaning them incorrectly, or using metal utensils on the surface. Read the instructions. Functionally, it is great. I like that it can fold into a small space, but I agree with other reviewers that putting the handles inside of the base is asking for a scraped-up surface. I put a dishcloth between the two for a while (and cautioned the wife to do the same), but have now given up on storing it folded up - dishcloths aren't always handy. Seems to heat pretty evenly to me, and the pour spout is definitely helpful since it doesn't drip back on itself down the side when you use it. I haven't noticed a catastrophic loss of heat through the drain spout, but I am not trying to use it as a steamer. I find it nice to be able to remove the top without having a killer puff of steam lounging at you, followed by splattering oil as the water from the top drips down into the skillet. There is still some buildup, but the spout helps reduce that. Looks nice, large cooking area (great for my big family), easy to clean - it's a winner. I've had to use the cast iron skillet since the last electric skillet broke, and this is infinitely easier to cook with (to me - others may disagree and say I just need to learn how to use a cast iron skillet). It was a long, rough road without it, but she's back now along with the joy of cooking. :)

This electric skillet is amazing. It heats up quickly and provides a nice even heat level in the pan. The non stick lining is super right out of the box. I have cooked several breakfast including eggs and sausage and pancakes as well as dinner with pork chops and steak. I also made fried rice using the skillet as a wok. I love that the bottom detaches and stores inside the skillet. This makes it so easy to store. The glass lid is nice and thick and really helps keep the heat and steam inside the skillet. It’s large enough to easily cook dinner for a family of 5. I did some research before purchasing this and I’m glad I spent the little extra money to get this one from Presto. It’s a name brand that you can trust. As far as how long the nonstick will hold up is only a matter of time. Just make sure to use silicone utensils and nothing metal. Truly a must have for any family and worth its cost.

This is the greatest pan I have ever purchased. This cooks phenomenally, is a breeze to clean and it stores all within itself. I definitely LOVE mine. I highly recommend this pan.

Easy to clean/ it just pops out and non stick surface is great Heats up quickly It hold lots of food but is just small enough to cook a small amount such as rice a roni Can be used to cook eggs and pancakes It is perfect

I have used this skillet 3 times now and really like it. The high side walls are great to contain any splashes as you cook, and the pan itself is large enough for at least 4 chicken breasts and I have cooked 8 beef ribs in it, so far. Even heating and you don't need much oil. Love the fact it folds up compactly since I have a small kitchen.

This is a fantastic product. This is my second. After 4 years of using the previous one almost daily. Makes the best scrambled eggs. The non stick is great. I have made fried chicken. Fried zucchini. Grilled cheese sandwiches. Turns out fantastic.cleans up easily.Very Highly recommended!!

We make a lot of things on a frying pan, from breakfast to dinners. We usually use a variety of pans from cast iron to a non-stick pan/skillet. I was trying to make life easier on my wife and all of us, but giving her more cooking options and a larger cooking surface, so I decided to try an electric skillet. I had one a long time ago, but I just stopped using one. There's many of options, and while I'm not opposed to spending money on a quality of products, mostly all of them, even the more expensive options received negative reviews and those reviews were mostly centered around hot and cold spots on the cooking surface, and the thermostats turning off the heating elements when they reach their desired temps. Which, I'm quite certain that's what they're supposed to do, but anyway....After reading many customer reviews and product reviews by "experts" and rating companies, I decided on this product. I must say, that it has not disappointed us. We use it almost daily, sometimes twice a day. We've used it for almost a year for just about everything that you'd throw in a frying pan. This product works great. Zero complaints. It cooks the food fast and evenly. If there's a cold spot or a hot spot, we haven found it yet! The temp seems accurate, consistent, and evenly dispersed. It cleans up nicely, and so far the non-stick surface has yet to become worn. It stores away fairly nicely as well. I would definitely recommend this product, even over the more expensive options.

Not for Indian kitchen

Muy buen tamaño se pueden poner varias cosas para cocinar

can not be used in EU, “wrong” mains connector

I have owned many electric frying pans over the years, all coated, even one coated in ceramic and this appliance is the best one I have ever purchased. I love the large size. The ability to take it from its stand and put it in the top of the dishwasher is A-Mazing! I love the rounded edges. And even better than the ease and aesthetics, is how evenly it cooks. Most Pam's seem to get really hot where the elements are but this one seems to be hot equally everywhere. And I have now had it for a few months and with almost daily use the pan looks perfect and you cannot see where the elements even are (some of the ones I owned in the past discoloured quickly where the elements are. All on all I would highly recommend this pan.
