I bought this product in October of 2019 and after using it for over a year and a half, I’ve decided now is the time to write a review after extensive use.
I’ve owned a Presto griddle for a few years and absolutely loved that product, so I decided to order this 16″ Presto Electric Skillet. I have to admit, I don’t love this product as much as the griddle.
Pros: Well built, sturdy (sometimes you have to tighten the legs with a screwdriver), the lid is made very well and the skillet is very deep. I needed something that I could cook big dinners in and this definitely fits the bill. The cooking surface has held up well (it isn’t peeling off), however read below for staining issue:
Cons: After a year and a half of use, it has developed an oval shaped dark stain around where the element is. We clean it right away after every use, so I’m not sure how that stain developed. The cooking surface tends to get very hot where the element is, and less hot in the middle and around the edges. So you have to really keep an eye on your food and make sure to re-position your food on the skillet for optimal heat coverage. Otherwise you’ll get unevenly cooked food.
Would I recommend this product? Probably not due do the uneven cooking surface. I will definitely hold onto this product and keep using it until it dies, but I would get a different brand next time I need a new skillet.

I love this product. It’s big, it’s deep, the handles are a great size to grip, etc. and it cooks very well. Easy to clean. But when you make a stew, for example, and want to simmer it, there is no simmer setting. You put it at the very bottom, below 200 degrees, just so the light is on, and still it’s way too hot to call it a simmer. It boils the liquid pretty hard. If you put it on WARM, it stays warm,but does not continue cooking. That’s inconvenient. The old one I had had a simmer, which was very useful.

My mom has been cooking in temperature control skillets for 50 years. This one did the job just great.

First thing out of the box, I noticed BIG!! Large enough for a big family. I bought this skillet to cook pancakes, and maybe hamburgers. I’ve found it is so versatile, I use it for a lot of other things as well. In the reviews I read, others complained that it has hot spots, and cycles too often, but the instructions say to heat it enough ahead of time to allow it to cycle 4-5 times to heat up to the right temperature and heat evenly. I do that, and have had no problems with uneven heating. It is made of a relatively thin aluminum alloy, which allows it to heat very quickly, but like I said, it needs a few cycles to evenly heat. One of the best things about this skillet is that its ceramic coating makes it super easy to clean. Many of the reviews I read said that they just wipe it out with a paper towel. I wasn’t sure how that would work, and how sanitary it would be, but I tried it and it works very well. As far as being unsanitary, who scrubs their barbeque with soap and water every time they use it? This thing gets plenty hot to kill any bacteria, so I don’t see it as a problem. There’s a temperature guide in the booklet that came with it, and I follow that. Works well. The removable thermostat works consistently well also. I’d definitely buy it again.

I have only had it for 6 months but after 4 the coating began to wear away. I contacted customer support and they replied it’s my fault so tuff luck, complete waste of money. Also the heating element gets too hot that is why the nonstick coating fades away. As you can see in the pictures.

I ordered this because I needed a new griddle but decided I wanted something deeper so I could also use it for other meals. I haven’t had it long but I’ve cooked grilled cheese, French toast and fried rice in it. It all turned out perfect. Also, clean up is a breeze! Love this product and will be recommending to others.
