Presto 06856 16-Inch Ceramic Electric Skillet

First thing out of the box, I noticed BIG!! Large enough for a big family. I bought this skillet to cook pancakes, and maybe hamburgers. I've found it is so versatile, I use it for a lot of other things as well. In the reviews I read, others complained that it has hot spots, and cycles too often, but the instructions say to heat it enough ahead of time to allow it to cycle 4-5 times to heat up to the right temperature and heat evenly. I do that, and have had no problems with uneven heating. It is made of a relatively thin aluminum alloy, which allows it to heat very quickly, but like I said, it needs a few cycles to evenly heat. One of the best things about this skillet is that its ceramic coating makes it super easy to clean. Many of the reviews I read said that they just wipe it out with a paper towel. I wasn't sure how that would work, and how sanitary it would be, but I tried it and it works very well. As far as being unsanitary, who scrubs their barbeque with soap and water every time they use it? This thing gets plenty hot to kill any bacteria, so I don't see it as a problem. There's a temperature guide in the booklet that came with it, and I follow that. Works well. The removable thermostat works consistently well also. I'd definitely buy it again.

The ceramic coating is great. I use this everyday for everything and I love it. It is large enough to brown a roast or brisket.

I bought this skillet as a gift for my mother this most recent Christmas, and she was extremely excited when she opened it. It's so convenient that it's quickly become something everyone in the family uses. We never have problems with things sticking to it, and any residue comes off very easily with water and a sponge. We get a lot of use out of it for breakfast, with pancakes and bacon being very convenient on the wide space it provides. It's also very easy to use quickly, heating up and cooling down fast for speedy setup and clean up It's also perfect for portability. My family loves to go camping, and the skillet is a great tool to bring along, especially in wildfire prone California where lots of campsites don't allow bonfires anymore. Even without an outlet, it's able to run plenty of time off of a powerbank. It's easy to pack up and even use as a container of its own to bring food along. The portability is also helped by its handles, which don't get hot at all and allow us to easily move the skillet even when it's still hot. It's very convenient to serve meals in too. Stir fry, fajitas, and other dishes that pile up hold well inside the skillet and can even be kept warm during a meal by simply leaving it plugged in! It's compact nature lets us set it in the middle of the table with whatever other food we're serving without worrying about heat damage to the table because of the skillet's legs. There may be more expensive, higher grade skillets out there, but this one gives you wonderful bang for your buck, and completely serves the needs of the average person without breaking the bank. I could even see someone without access to a stove top for cooking buying this as their main cooktop. If you're looking for a skillet that won't break the bank but does everything well, this one right here is the best choice for you!

I loooove this skillet. It’s easy to use and the ceramic coating makes for an easy cleanup. It has become a staple in our household kitchen due to its size and being easy to clean.

I was drawn to this product because I like the brand and because it seemed to be a nice, non-stick pan. I really like it. The heat seems to remain at the set temperature. It cleans easily, I usually just need to spray the pan with vinegar and wipe it with a clean cloth but when I do need to clean it, the pan can be fully emerged into water. I also like that the handles are open a a bit (not solid) to allow for cleaning. My only dislike is the weight of the lid. It is very heavy. It does fit well and doesn’t let a lot of steam out. But it is so heavy that I often get steam scald when I lift the lid.

Great product! Excellent non-stick coating. Temperature control is more consistent than previous electric skillets we’ve owned. I would highly recommend!

Large cooking surface Cooks evenly. Easy clean up. Bought another for summer home

I Love this skillet! I had never had a ceramic appliance & I am now Sold!!

Llego Nueva y en perfectas condiciones. No se pega nada de comida,su cocción es rápida,guarda el calor si que se escape el vapor de los alimentos al estar tapados. Nos encantó.

I purchased this item a couple of weeks ago and so far, I really like it. I started using it the first day that it arrived. It's a good size and the surface is completely non-stick and very easy to clean. It's much better than some of the flimsier ones that I've used in the past. It's fairly deep and ideal for stir-fry dishes. The temperature control seems pretty good. It is more expensive that some of the other skillets but in this case you get what you pay for. I can definitely recommend this item.

This is my second time with this skillet, the first one lasted about five years with constant use. My failing with it was plugging it in to my stovetop electrical outlet which was a loose fit for the plug and created surges which damaged it. I plan to only use the wall outlet from now on and so hope the skillet will have a longer life. The skillet itself is great, I love that it's ceramic and very easy to clean, I can cook huge amounts in it and it cooks evenly. I find the lid fits it well and have zero complaints about this item.

Nos encanto... Los q cocinamos la apreciaremos...el tamaño esta super bien, la calidad del sartén es muy buena, fuerte y gruesa, no es tan ligera pero se entiende por la calidad, calienta rápido, el color y el diseño la hacen ver lindisima aparte de todo. Me encantó.

El material es de muy buena calidad el tamaño es un poco más grande que las tradicionales la temperatura es excelente en términos generales muy bien, la recomiendo, saludos a todos
