Overview
Presto's 06626 is an 11-inch electric skillet with a ceramic nonstick, PFAS-free surface, a tempered glass lid and a removable Control Master heat dial, sized for cooking two to four servings on the counter or table.
It is built to replace a range burner for tasks like frying, braising or baking casseroles, and the cast aluminum base plus removable heat control let the whole pan go in water for cleaning once the control is unplugged. Reviewers consistently describe it heating evenly and holding a stable temperature, with the only real prep step being an initial curing wash before first use.
- 11-inch ceramic nonstick surface, PFAS free
- Tempered glass lid with stay-cool handle
- Control Master automatic heat control
- Cast aluminum base, fully immersible once heat control is removed
Who it's for
Fits small households, college students in dorms or apartments, and RV cooking where a full range is unavailable, needing a pan sized for one to four servings. Less suited to anyone regularly cooking a full family batch in one pan.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Reviewers across several years of ownership describe this skillet cooking evenly, releasing food easily from the nonstick surface, and cleaning up quickly with warm soapy water. Multiple owners specifically call out the size as right for one to four people, useful for everything from searing burgers to baking casseroles to simmering rice dishes. The only maintenance notes raised are curing the surface before first use and taking a bit of care cleaning the area where the handles meet the pan.
