Overview
The Presto 06857 is a 16-inch electric skillet with a detachable base, ceramic nonstick surface and tempered glass lid, sized to cook or serve a family meal in one pan. It suits anyone replacing a range burner or oven for everyday frying, roasting, stewing or baking.
- PFAS-free ceramic nonstick coating
- Detachable Control Master heat control
- High sidewalls for extra capacity
- Built-in pour spout doubles as spoon rest
Who it's for
Good for anyone wanting one large pan that replaces a stovetop burner for frying, roasting or stewing and stores compactly afterward. Not ideal for anyone expecting the nonstick coating to last many years under heavy weekly use, based on one long-term owner's replacement pattern.
