Exc4ellent fryer/stove top oven (2010-04-19)
I'm very satisfied with this electric skillet, with my only complaints being that you have to order the rack separately from Presto (necessary if you plan to do any baking or roasting) and that the front legs tend to loosen. It only takes a few twists of a Phillips screwdriver to tighten them again, though, and the benefits far outweigh these minor drawbacks. I maintain the cooking surface coating with gentle washing and application of a little vegetable oil in between uses, same as for a seasoned cast iron griddle, and so far it has held up well--and even, like the iron griddle, has become easier to clean over time. Just be gentle and follow the manufacturer's instructions for warm, soapy water and one of those soft pads. It really pays off.
I was a little worried about steaming and braising in it, because of the long exposure to hot water, but that did fine, too.
If you plan to bake with this, be aware that the tops of things won't brown, and also that it's not as big as an oven and so steam builds up, which is an important consideration if you're doing bakery products. I leave the cover open a crack and use a topping of some sort for things like muffins. By the way, a standard 12-cup muffin tray fits perfectly in here, although you will need to pry up one edge in order to get a good enough grip to remove it.

Hard to find a good skillet without a glass cover. Glass covers tend to create too much moisture inside causing splash when openning
Great purchase! (2010-02-12)
i bought this as a gift for my dad at Christmas. He has used it every week for at least two to three meals a week. He says it cooks evenly, the non-stick coating eliminates the need for butter or oil, and clean up is so easy! When it's time to replace mine - I'll definitely purchase from Presto's line.
