Presto Electric Skillet

Yes, the ceramic coating is designed for effortless food release. While it is durable, we recommend using silicone, wood, or nylon utensils to maintain the surface's integrity and prevent scratching over time.

While the skillet is fully immersible, we recommend hand washing it to extend the life of the ceramic nonstick coating. The tempered glass lid is dishwasher safe, but the base should be cleaned with warm, soapy water.

The skillet features high sidewalls that provide ample depth for stews, braises, and larger cuts of meat. It is well-suited for a whole chicken or family-sized batches of chili, though it is not as deep as a dedicated stockpot.

The skillet uses an automatic temperature control system designed to maintain a steady heat level once you have selected your setting. It is reliable for consistent roasting, frying, and stewing without significant temperature swings.

The pour spout is designed to make draining excess liquids, sauces, or grease easier and less messy. It is particularly helpful when you are serving stews or need to empty the pan after browning meat.

At nearly 6 pounds, the cast aluminum base provides a sturdy, stable foundation that won't easily slide or tip during stirring. It strikes a good balance between being substantial enough for even heat distribution and light enough to move around your kitchen.
