Reviews of Presto 06626 11 Inch Electric Skillet W Glass Lid
Perfect skillet for a small kitchen and an avid cook.
Rating by : Palimpsest, 
I love to cook, but I have a small, apartment-style kitchen, with a narrow stove and limited counter top space with which to work on. I do most of my cooking and prep work in a compressed L-shaped area where the stove is to my left and my kitchen sink just around the corner to my right. I tuck this electric skillet in the corner of the "L" and either use it as an extension of my stove, or instead of. The skillet's non-stick surface is so smooth, it's perfect for making dishes like crab cakes, where I pre-cook various ingredients for use in the final assembly stage, and can simply give the skillet a wipe with a paper towel between each cooking cycle. I only have to wash the pan once at the end of the meal (and the small pan size fits perfectly in my small sink). The skillet heats up quickly, and the temperature control lights up while coming up to temperature and turns off when the desired temperature is reached. I've also noticed that my skillet is reasonably level on my reasonably level counter top (e.g., cooking oil doesn't puddle up in any corner of the skillet), and the skillet's clear glass lid is very handy for monitoring food that is simmering.
Additional Information:
1. The skillet's cooking area is 11 x 11 inches; and its width, including handles, is 11 x 14.5 inches.
2. The power cable is 30 inches long, which works great if you have an electrical outlet nearby. I like it, because I prefer not to have a lot of redundant electrical cord laying about and taking up space.
3. Temperature control settings range from 200 to 400, with an additional Warm setting.
4. I've found nothing in the documentation that states the temperature of the Warm setting, but my (unscientific) tests with my instant read thermometer indicate that Warm on my skillet runs about 168 degrees Fahrenheit; and it doesn't bring water to a boil. There's an unofficial "Warm" setting, just below the labeled Warm setting, at the first point on the temperature control where the heat light comes on. This unofficial setting on my skillet runs about 108 degrees Fahrenheit.
5. The skillet's heating element is hotter in the center of the skillet (e.g., the center crab cake browns faster), but not so much that it caused any of my food to burn.
6. Both the lid and skillet (but not the power control) are dishwasher safe, though the documentation that comes with the skillet warns that dishwasher detergent will discolor the bottom of the skillet. I've found the skillet easy to clean in (a cleared out) sink, so I haven't bothered to try it the dishwasher.
7. This skillet isn't designed for deep frying, and the documentation states that very clearly.
Nice Mid Size Skillet
Rating by : T. Steiner "ScottieOwner",
This is a very nice mid sized skillet (perfect for two adults). It gets quite hot, enough to brown hamburger for hamburger steak with onions and gravy. One thing about this skillet though is it does get very hot so therefore it needs to be dialed way back in order to let foods just simmer. I don't find that to be a deal breaker but just be aware if left at higher temps it can cook the liquid down and potentially ruin your meal. Overall, I'm rating it 5 stars for it's size, design and yes, for it's heating capacity.
Great Electric Skillet
Rating by : Sanjosemom,
I just bought this skillet. It is made exactly like the Presto 16 inch version which is very highly rated by users. I wanted an 11 or 12 inch skillet and I found this one on sale at a price I could not pass up. It is a great size for most skillet recipes and easier to store away than the 16 inch model. It has 1000 watts. I had a Presto electric wok and it perfomed perfectly but did not like wok cooking so I gave it to my daughter. This skillet will be perfect for stir fry cashew chicken and Alton Brown's onion soup recipe.
