 LOOSE SCREWS November 14, 2009
spunkydog49 (nashville)
Terrific appliance, but I agree about the leg screws loosening too frequently. To counter this, I installed some lock washers. It helps considerably, but they still work loose after several uses. Beats every time you get it out though. Want to give it try yourself, here's what to do (for you mechanics in the audience pardon the oversimplification). You need four (4) @ brass or stainless steel (so they won't rust) lock + flat washers. Also, be sure to get the kind of lock washer that has the teeth on the INSIDE because there isn't much play around the screw holes. I think the size is 10/24, but take along one of the screws (in a baggie so it won't get lost) to a real hardware store that has the rows of boxes with all the little doo-dads in them. Not likely to be had at a Home Depot or Lowe's plus you'd waste valuable shoe leather. Ask one of the folks hanging around the front counter for help or else - while you may find wonderful things you didn't know existed - you can spend a lot of time rummaging thru all those tiny boxes. Also, be sure to check each washer (should be 8 total) against the leg screw since not everyone is as careful as you to get things back in the correct slot. The heads of the leg screws are slotted to accept either kind of screwdriver, flat or Phillips, but you will need a small size. Consider this during your hardware store experience if you don't already own one. When installing the washers, the flat one goes in first, right against the plastic, then the toothed washer, then the screw. Be careful to start the screw in straight so as not to strip out the threads in the plastic. If after just one or two revolutions, the screw starts to get harder to turn, its maybe not going in straight. Back it out and try again. If you've turned it several times and the screwdriver then encounters resistance STOP, again to avoid that stripping thing. Then carefully tighten just a smidgen more, like 1/8 turn. Or as they say in the trade, Do Not Overtightened. Repeat four times and that's it. I considered using Loc Tite but the diameter is smaller than spec. At 7 or 8 bucks for a tiny can I didn't want to see if it worked outside prescribed limits. Maybe some of you mechanics can give it a try and report back to the less adventurous among us. One could epoxy the dad gum things in, but if the leg assembly needed replacement, your screwed. Ouch.

this presto electric skillet is the best i've ever owned. it's deep and the 16 inches makes it very versatile for all sorts of cooking.
one caveat however....like all other electric skillets i've had the handles tend to come loose on a regular basis. this is quickly remedied with a quick twist of a screwdriver.
i highly recommend this product.

Skillet Review October 27, 2009

The Presto electric skillet works great. The only improvement that I can suggest is that rubber feet be made into the black handles where they touch the counter that the skillet sits on. I set the skillet on a towel to keep it from sliding around on the kitchen counter, but I would rather have somthing made into the skillet to keep it stable on the counter when cooking with it.

I have this fry pan and I use it constantly for so many things.Probably use it for 4/7 dinners plus makes a great breakfast pan.The only reason I give it a 4 is because the teflon coating wears off making it more difficult to clean and food sticks. Am asking for an identical one for Christmas and will probably put this in the camping box to take.Even used the fry pan to make corn on the cob.This was only pan we took for a short camping trip and worked out awesome.Never will I be without this frying pan. Is a very versatile n useful gadget. Good luck
