Review on 🍳 Presto 06852 16-Inch Electric Skillet with Transparent Glass Lid by Alex Cassanova

Revainrating 2 out of 5

The frying pan is ok, the lid is DANGEROUS

I ordered this electric frying pan in 2013, it's now January 2021. I only use it 2 or 3 times a year when we have guests and I . want to bake a lot of pancakes at the same time. I've only cooked potato pancakes in it and used it probably 15-20 times. The heat is fairly consistent, it's easy to use, and requires hand washing (and you need to be careful as it can't be submerged in water). in water), has a good non-stick coating and is easy to clean. Today I pulled out this trusty pancake pan to make breakfast. DRY kitchen sink to flip my pancakes. After sitting in the sink for 20 seconds, the glass lid exploded. There was a loud pop like the sound of a champagne cork and when I looked back the cap was completely broken into a million pieces. Luckily most of the shards ended up in the sink and I'm grateful I didn't put it on the granite counter next to me instead of in the sink. I think a granite countertop is the same temperature as a metal sink, so it could have happened anywhere. The lid is dangerous, and I'm lucky I'm not picking shards of leather now.

Pros
  • Convenient cupboard stand for receptions
Cons
  • Everything is ok
