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.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Multiple reviewers report replacing a Presto skillet of the same model after 8 to 10 years of frequent use, once the nonstick coating finally wore out, calling it a workhorse. Reviewers use it for eggs, bacon, stir fry, roasts, and casseroles, praising the automatic temperature control for even cooking without babysitting the pan. One reviewer flags that it needed minor assembly with a screwdriver, which the online listing did not mention.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- 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 Control Master heat control automatically maintains the set cooking temperature, so reviewers describe using it for eggs, bacon, stir fry, roasts, and casseroles without constant monitoring. 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.
