Presto Electric Skillet

Yes, once you remove the heat control probe, the skillet base and the glass lid are fully immersible and dishwasher safe. However, hand washing is recommended to extend the life of the nonstick coating.

The Control Master is a detachable probe that plugs into the skillet and maintains your selected cooking temperature automatically. It cycles the power on and off to keep the heat consistent, preventing the temperature spikes common with stovetop cooking.

It is best to avoid metal utensils. While the ceramic nonstick coating is durable, metal tools can scratch or chip the surface over time; silicone, wood, or nylon utensils are the safest choice to maintain the coating's integrity.

The base and handles are designed to detach from the pan, allowing the unit to nest for more compact storage. While it is a large 16-inch appliance, this feature significantly reduces its footprint in your cabinets.

Yes, the built-in pour spout is designed with a wide enough edge to securely hold a cooking spoon. It serves double duty by allowing you to drain liquids easily while keeping your countertop clean during meal prep.

The skillet features high sidewalls, making it deep enough to handle stews, braises, and frying without excessive splattering. Its 16-inch rectangular surface provides ample room for large batches.
