Can the pan go in the dishwasher?

No. The heat control must be removed and the skillet is hand washed; it is fully immersible in the sink but not dishwasher safe.

What can I cook in it?

Roast, fry, grill, stew, bake and make casseroles. The high sides and glass lid suit covered dishes, and the wide base handles breakfast for several people.

How is the heat controlled?

The Control Master dial sets and holds the temperature automatically. It detaches from the pan for cleaning.

Is the ceramic coating safe with metal utensils?

Use wooden, silicone or plastic utensils. Metal tools can scratch the ceramic nonstick surface.

Can it be used as a serving dish?

Yes. The pour spout works as a spoon or spatula rest, so the skillet can sit on a buffet and keep food warm.

Our take on the Presto 12-inch Ceramic Electric Skillet with Glass Cover

The Presto 12-inch Ceramic Electric Skillet is a plug-in countertop pan with a ceramic nonstick coating inside and out, high sidewalls and a tempered glass lid. The Control Master heat control holds the set temperature automatically, and the control dial detaches so the pan can be fully immersed for washing. The pour spout doubles as a spoon or spatula rest, and the wide base handles everything from eggs and pancakes to roasts, stews and casseroles, or keeps food warm as a buffet server. It suits anyone who wants extra cooking surface without a stove, or a single pan that moves from kitchen to table. Against rival electric skillets, its edge is the removable heat control for sink cleaning and the ceramic coating; its limits are the fixed 12-inch size and no dishwasher-safe claim.
