Overview
A family cook who wants one pan for frying, stewing and serving gets a skillet with a tempered glass cover and a pour spout that doubles as a spoon rest. The base and handles detach and nest inside the pan for storage.
Big cooking area and high sidewalls make one-dish meals and buffet serving practical. The limit is the cord and controller, which restrict where it can sit and require care when cleaning.
Who it's for
Holiday hosts and big households benefit from a second cooking surface that works beside the range. A single cook who seldom prepares large batches will find a pan this size awkward to store.
Pros and cons
- Tempered glass cover included
- Six heat settings
- Dishwasher safe with control removed
- Pour spout doubles as spoon rest
- Heat control must come off for washing
- Needs a 120 volt outlet
- Large size for small kitchens
Performance notes
A thermostat in the removable heat control holds the chosen temperature, so the pan recovers after food goes in. The wide base spreads heat across a large area, and the glass cover lets steam and heat build for stews. High sidewalls contain splatter and liquids.

Frequently asked questions
How do I take apart the Presto 06857 for storage?
The base and handles detach and nest inside the pan. The heat control comes off separately and the cover stores with the pan.
Can the Presto 06857 go in the dishwasher?
The description says it is fully immersible and dishwasher safe with the heat control removed. The control itself should stay dry.
Is the Presto 06857 a stovetop pan?
No. It is an electric skillet that plugs into a 120 volt outlet and heats through its own base, so it does not sit on a burner.
