Presto has been making reliable electric skillets for decades. The 16-inch Foldaway model stands out because it solves a specific storage problem. The entire heating base detaches and tucks inside the pan, with handles that fold flat. This turns a bulky appliance into a compact unit that slides easily into a cabinet.

At 1500 watts, it heats up quickly and maintains consistent temperature. The PFAS-free non-stick ceramic coating is easy to clean and performs well for everything from searing chicken to simmering stew. The large surface area means you can cook a full breakfast or brown a large batch of meat without crowding. The cool-touch handles are a practical safety feature when moving it off the base.

It’s a straightforward, single-knob appliance. The temperature control is reliable but not precise—think “low for simmer” and “high for sear” rather than exact degrees. For its price, it delivers consistent performance and remarkable space savings, which is exactly what makes it a kitchen workhorse.
