Overview
The Presto 07117 is a 12 inch electric skillet with a tempered glass cover, nonstick cast aluminum pan, and a Control Master heat control that maintains a set cooking temperature automatically.
- 12 inch cooking surface with high sidewalls
- Tempered glass cover with stay-cool handle
- Control Master automatic heat control
- Fully immersible, dishwasher safe pan (heat control removed first)
Who it's for
Anyone wanting a versatile stovetop replacement for frying, roasting, or simmering family-size meals, especially useful during a kitchen remodel or in spaces without a full range. Not for anyone expecting the skillet to arrive fully assembled.
Pros and cons
- Automatic temperature control removes constant monitoring
- High sidewalls add capacity for stews and casseroles
- Nonstick surface, inside and out, simplifies cleanup
- Multiple owners rebought the same model after 8 to 10 years
- Requires minor assembly with a Phillips screwdriver
- Nonstick coating can wear thin after many years of rough utensil use
- Heavy cast aluminum construction adds weight
Performance notes
The high sidewalls give it more capacity than a typical frying pan, letting one reviewer combine meat and vegetables in a single pan. At around 1400 watts, per one reviewer's estimate, it heats quickly enough for searing.
