Overview
A weeknight kitchen without a free burner is where this Presto skillet earns its place. A heavy cast aluminum pan with a nonstick finish inside and out pairs with a tempered glass cover that has a stay-cool handle. A pour spout doubles as a spoon rest.
The reason to buy is a single counter pan covering many cooking methods, with a heat control that holds the set temperature. The limit is the plug-in design and the PFAS disclosure in the seller text.
Who it's for
Cooks who entertain, feed a crowd or need a second cooking spot will appreciate a counter skillet that doubles as a server. Anyone who wants a cord-free pan for the stove should look elsewhere.
Pros and cons
- Glass cover with stay-cool handle
- Control Master heat control
- Pour spout built in
- Dishwasher safe pan
- Seller discloses PFAS content
- Heat control must come off for washing
- Needs counter space and an outlet
Performance notes
The pan is cast aluminum, which spreads heat across the base. The Control Master heat control regulates the set temperature, so frying and stewing do not need constant adjustment. The glass cover traps steam for stewing and lets you watch the food without lifting it.

Frequently asked questions
Can I use the Presto 07117 skillet on a stove burner?
No. It is an electric skillet that is powered through its removable heat control and stands on its own legs, so it is not a stovetop pan.
Is the Presto 07117 dishwasher safe?
The listing says the skillet is fully immersible and dishwasher safe with the heat control removed. The heat control itself should not be washed.
Does it contain PFAS?
The seller text states that the product contains perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances, even though the specs list it as PTFE free.
