The electric skillet market offers a variety of models to choose from, and certainly one of the most popular choices would be the Presto electric skillet. Being both cheap and of good quality, the average Presto skillet can be easily compared to its close relative that boasts with an impressive amount of sales – the Presto electric griddle.
However, the Presto griddle offers the limitation of any electric griddle – it can be used to cook a smaller range of foods compared to other electric skillets. On the other hand, the griddle does a better job of cooking with these foods (such as pancakes, eggs, fries and more) and cleaning is a lot easier due to the way that electric griddles are designed.
Being much more versatile, the Presto electric skillet can be used not only to cook pancakes but also for frying, roasting and even slow cooking. The splattering of grease and oil will be blocked by the skillet’s lid and some of the Presto skillets, in particular, come with an attractive cover that offers the user the possibility to use the electric skillet as a buffet server. Listed ahead are some of the most familiar Presto electric skillets.
Presto 06852 16 Inch Electric Skillet with Glass Cover
Suitable for a wide range of cooking techniques, the Presto 16 inch electric skillet offers a big 16 inches cast aluminum base with a durable glass cover. The cooking surface is big enough to provide the whole family, and the nonstick coating prevents the dishes from sticking to it.
Being fully submersible when heat controls removed, this Presto electric skillet is easy to clean and the glass lid would block any splattering from reaching the countertop (and the person who use this appliance). However, one drawback of this Presto skillet is that there is no vent on the glass lid. The Presto 06852 is probably the most popular skillet out of the many Presto electric skillets designs and perhaps the most popular unit when compared to skillets of other brands.
Presto 06850 16 inch Electric Skillet
The versatility and performance of this skillet resemble those of other Presto skillets, especially the Presto 16 inch electric skillet with glass cover. This particular Presto electric skillet, on the other hand, doesn’t have a glass lid but the innovative plastic Evernu cover. The 16 inch diameter cooking surface is quite large and quickly distributes the heat evenly across the surface. Being dishwasher safe and having a nonstick coating, this Presto skillet is user-friendly for both cooking and cleaning activities. Unfortunately, there is no vent on the cover of this unit.
Presto 06620 11 Inch Electric Skillet
Although the Presto 11 inch electric skillet is not as big as the 16 inch Presto electric Skillet, it can still provide enough food for 2 people or more.
This relatively small unit can easily fit in any kitchen, thus providing a solution for users who have limited space. Cleaning this Presto skillet would be fairly easy since it is fully submersible with the heating plug removed, and unlike other Presto electric skillets this one can be placed in the dishwasher without catching a lot of space.
Overall, the average Presto electric skillet is relatively cheap and capable of frying, roasting, grilling, baking and much more. A kitchen appliance with such versatility would be a great addition for any kitchen.

Presto Electric Skillet is best.
I don’t know about Daytona Beach, but I live in Deltona and I think I saw the Presto products in Walmart. Anyway I am pretty sure that you can find the presto skillet at amazon – that ‘s where I got my electric griddle from.
I’m trying to buy the Presto stainless steel electric skillet in the Daytona Beach, FL area. Do you know where they sell it?
