My presto electric skillet glass cook top exploded in my dish drain. I had washed my dishes the night prior and when removing a cup from the drain my glass cook top exploded.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Absolutely Not

Thank you for your follow up. However, I am very disappointed in your company not making a change in the lid after so many incidents. Stop making excuses and alleviate the issue. As far as ‘home use’ and not for ‘commercial production’, you must not be familiar with our TEXAS Food Cottage Law. ONLY home use appliances may be used. Thus my inquiry for multiple cookers. Thank you for your time. Please do better.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I have used this skillet less than 5 times in two years. The lid spontaneously shattered after washing with soap and water. Do not recommend this product.

Waste of money

Used this 4 times and the power supply doesn’t stay connected.
Response from https://www.gopresto.com/By PrestoCS, July 14, 2025
The temperature control will cycle on and off - this is normal. For example when left on the warm setting, the control will reach 212 degrees and drop down to 160 and then back up to 212. This process will continue throughout cooking. However, if this is not what you are experiencing, we would like to speak with you. Please call our Customer Service Team at 1-800-877-0441. We're available weekdays, 8-4 CT.

I bought this skillet yesterday because I had one EXACTLY like it. I bought last one in 2004, 22 years ago, and really liked it. I never had one problem for the entire time.The cord got a little loose and the temp was varying a little so I bought a new one. This skillet is awesome. Yoe can do anything with it. Breakfast, pancakes, French toast, eggs, fried chicken, lasagna, steaks, pasta s, anything you want, you can do it with this skillet..I used it almost daily for many years and it.never let me down. Very enthusiastic 5 stars for this product. I could not be happier
I would recommend this to a friend!

Beware. Lid explodes out of nowhere
on April 27, 2026

Gender:Female
I’ve had this skillet like 2 maybe 3 months and the lid exploded just sitting on the counter. Wasn’t even using it. Apparently this is a common issue by the looks of other comments. I’m shocked because I’ve never had issues before with Presto appliances.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
