Overview
Presto builds this skillet around a die-cast aluminum base with a nonstick coating inside and out. A removable heat control sets the pan temperature, and the whole pan goes in the dishwasher once that control is pulled off.
A rectangular pan holds a roast or a full batch of fries that a round skillet would crowd, and the nonstick finish inside and out means less scrubbing after. The limitation is bulk: this is a heavy, counter-filling unit, and the voltage figure on the spec sheet should be checked against your outlet before you order.
Who it's for
Large family meals, potlucks and roasts that a stovetop pan cannot hold are where a skillet this size earns its place. A cook who mainly makes single portions will find the pan oversized and the weight awkward to move and store.
Pros and cons
- Nonstick coating inside and out
- Lid included in the box
- Rectangular shape fits roasts and large cuts
- Dishwasher safe with heat control removed
- Heavy for a countertop pan
- Listed voltage needs checking against your outlet
- Overall dimensions and temperature range not listed
- Large footprint to store
Performance notes
Heat comes from the base, with the die-cast aluminum spreading it across the rectangular floor, so results depend on how evenly the pan is loaded. The heat control cycles to hold the selected setting, which holds oil at a steady temperature for frying and simmering. The cover traps steam for stews and braises, and the nonstick surface releases food without added fat.
