A good skillet for frying and similar tasks
This Presto 06850 16-inch Electric Skillet is a decent skillet for the money. I use it frequently for many cooking tasks and it has performed well. The skillet itself is non stick which makes it fairly easy to clean. I also like the fact that it is a large skillet - 16 inches - as compared to the standard 12 inch skillet. That makes large recipe preparation much simpler and less messy as there is enough room to handle all of the ingredients as well as all of the stirring and mixing necessary. One of the downsides to this product is the short cord which requires you to have a cooking surface near an outlet. I can see where this would be inconvenient or undoable in some kitchens. The other downside is the non stick surface itself. No matter how careful we have been it wears off and the skillet begins to become difficult to clean. We have had three of these skillets and have taken good care of them but the same thing happens every time. It is not an inexpensive skillet so it does become frustrating. However, we have been taking really good care of the one we are currently using and it seems to be lasting quite well. Overall, though, this is a good product, well worth having in your kitchen.
