Scores by criterion
| Criterion | Presto 07023 | Presto 07046 |
|---|---|---|
| Cooking performance | 7.5ATK Best Buy. ATK noted hot spots near the connection that didn't affect cooking. | 6.5TechGearLab noted cooler edges. |
| Health & materials | 9.0Presto says PFAS free, and ATK independently lists it as PFAS-free. | 8.5Same Presto PFAS-free claim as the other Presto models, also listed by TechGearLab. |
| Coating durability & food release | 6.0Presto's manual warns that dishwashing reduces nonstick, and one owner reported sticking at 3 months. No lab finding of permanent staining. | 6.0Presto ceramic family. No model-specific long-term evidence. |
| Ease of cleaning | 7.5ATK says it hand-washes easily and it's immersible with the control removed. ATK calls it 'a little harder to clean' because the plate isn't removable. | 5.5TechGearLab: harder to clean. The plate isn't removable. |
| Capacity & versatility | 7.5Modest 210 sq in, but the four-way flip tray (warmer, spatter shield, steamer, serving tray) adds real versatility. | 8.0Large surface with tilt drainage, but the dimensions are unverified and Reviewed calls it hard to store. |
| Value | 8.5$58.99 for an ATK-endorsed model with a corroborated PFAS-free claim, though the 07062 gives more area for about $3 more. | 7.5About $70 for a large tilting surface. |

Presto 07023
Pros
- PFAS-free ceramic surface, listed that way by ATK and by Presto
- ATK Best Buy
- Easy hand-washing, even after burgers
- Flip tray works as a warmer and serving tray
- Low price for what it offers
Cons
- Moderate 210 sq in cooking area
- Plate is not removable
- Presto warns dishwasher use wears down the ceramic
- One owner reports sticking after about 3 months
The most defensible all-round choice here. It pairs independent testing with a corroborated PFAS-free claim at a modest price, and its main limits are size and the usual short life of ceramic coatings.
