Good skillet low price
We bought this skillet about 6 months ago. I had concerns about plastic lid and legs. We been using it as much as 5 times a week. It has been working great. Lid and legs are fine no signs of wear yet. An unexpected bonus is the lid stays cooler preventing heat loss through the lid making the skillet cook better more efficiently and it is hard to get burned by the lid.Cleaning, so far nothing has stuck to the skillet so cleaning has been easy.Temperature, I have found the temperature of the skillet is pretty spot on but it cooks faster than our old skillet by several minutes, so we have had to adjust our time for cooking. Control is okay but could have been made easier to set.How even does it cook. We have not seen any problems, even with pancakes.We had our old skillet for 20 years see how long this one lasts.

Excellent!!
This is our go to bacon pan. We cook bacon, sausage and Canadian bacon every morning for breakfast. Side meat and eggs or waffles are a great healthy way to start the day. It has been three months and pan is still perfect. I do believe this pan will last for a very long period of time in perfect condition. Thank you to Presto for making such a great product!

Chickens beware, you will be fried!!!!
I frequently cook for extended family, usually around 12 people. This skillet is the perfect size! I love fried chicken, but in a regular skillet you have to cook in batches, and the first batch gets cold before the second batch gets done. With this skillet, I can fry up a couple of chickens at once, brown up 3-5 pounds of hamburger, or even fry 6-8 regular hamburger patties all at the same time! The dial control plugs into the base securely and is easy to use. Assembly was a breeze. The feet and handles for the pan are just two separate pieces, one set of feet with a handle at each end. The screws are already fitted into the screw-holes they will go into, so no annoying little plastic baggy to tear open or get lost. This did lead to some amusement for my son, who was watching as I began frantically tearing through the packaging, unable to find the little baggy of screws that just HAD to be there somewhere. Of course, he had noticed the screws already in place. The remaining piece, the handle on the lid, was simple now that I had already found the screws to use. The lid itself seems to be a plastic, but it is holding up to the heat very well and is very well made. It cleans up easily, and is dishwasher safe.

LOVE! LOVE! LOVE!
Presto 06850 Electric SkilletThis electric skillet not only has lots of room in the bottom but it also has a nice deep lid which allows for cooking larger things such as whole chickens. And the lid seats in a position that keeps moisture inside.The heating element in the bottom heats evenly in all areas allowing the food to cook evenly at the same rate.We use ours for everything from pancakes to hamburgers to one dish meals. Clean up is a breeze. Love it.

Good replacement for my old Presto
Got this to replace my worn out model. I like to cook lots of big stir fries, and this does the job. The old one lasted nearly 15 years, so I hope the new one will. I did notice however that the handles are not so sturdy, and they were a bit difficult to assemble. I had to find an alternative screw (one of the four provided did not fit) for attaching the legs. It cooks wonderfully …but the temps on the dial seem miscalibrated (200 sizzles more like 400). I cook by “nose” rather than strictly by temperature, so that was not so big an issue. This is a hard to find size, and that feature was the deciding one for me. NOTE: Update a year later…the legs on this skillet are not very sturdy, as the older model’s were. We learned the hard way. Now we can’t replace just the legs. Other than that is has held up well, and the interior surface is as good as new. Of course we do “baby” it by cleaning only with a soft sponge.

Great inexpensive electric skillet!!!
Great inexpensive electric skillet! I use this almost exclusively for cooking. I hate cooking so I mostly batch cook so I only have to do major cooking about every 4 days or so. (I cook coconut flour blueberry pancakes almost daily though, they disappear fast!) I fry chicken (9 breasts at a time), steam saute veggies (full) and scramble eggs (12 at a time) and it never lets me down. I use coconut oil for all of my oil/lubrication needs as it can take high heats very well and is actually GOOD for you. My last one lasted over a year and this one is lasting longer! I’ve found the key to making it last longer is the obvious 1. no metal tools and the not so obvious 2. Wash immediately. If I have fried chicken in it or over cooked a veggie to the point of them sticking to the pan (I have ADHD and frequently forget I am cooking.) Then I add enough water to cover the bottom of the pan and turn it to 325. Using a flat bamboo tool I slowly let it boil and stir the stuck on food off of the surface. (Do not scrape. It will come off easily once it has absorbed the water.) Once it is all off I move to the sink and wash it immediately. (Make sure the water from the faucet is HOT first so you don’t shock the pan.)I’m not really sure a non stick pan is supposed to last forever. After all, it is coated with a chemical that will degrade over time. I have gone through several non stick pans in my life but still have my original stainless steel Revere Ware which I love but rarely use anymore since I started batch cooking. For me, the price is cheap enough that I have no problem replacing it every year or two as much as I use it because for me it really gets mileage being used every day!
