Score: 84/100
Elite Gourmet Ceralast
Score: 83/100Rankings
The BLACK+DECKER SK1215BC is a family-size electric skillet featuring a spacious nonstick surface and variable temperature control up to 400°F. Its weight and bulkiness can make it harder to move and store. Ideal for families of four to five who need a versatile, large-capacity cooking appliance.
Elite Gourmet's EG2212 combines 1200 W rapid heat-up with a PFAS-free Ceralast ceramic coating and a dishwasher-safe design. Its variable power rating and Prop 65 lead warning raise some safety concerns. Great for busy home cooks preparing six-serving meals.
