The Presto 06857 Foldaway Non-Stick Electric Skillet Review

Hello. Welcome to my review of the Presto Foldaway Nonstick Electric Skillet 06857. The 16-inch base and high sidewalls offer extra cooking and serving capacities. The skillet has a built-in spout for pouring liquids that doubles as a spoon and spatula holder for cooking and serving. Also, with this skillet, you can bake, fry, stew, roast, and grill all in one skillet.

​

Made with heavy-cast aluminum, the Presto 06857's base offers even heat distribution, a lack of warping from high heat, and temperature stability.  The detachable skillet's deluxe nonstick finish on the inside and outside provides a stick-free cooking experience and easy cleaning.

​

Made for convenience, this electric skillet comes with fold-down handles to make detaching the skillet from the base easy. To store your skillet, you simply place the base and heat control into the pan, place the lid on, and store. This skillet is great for those without a lot of space in the kitchen.
