Score: 84/100
Elite Gourmet EG-6203
Score: 76/100Rankings
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.
The Elite Gourmet EG-6203# offers a massive 10.5-qt deep pan with a durable marble-coated nonstick surface and rapid heating. Its weight, two-prong plug, and occasional uneven heat are notable drawbacks. Best suited for large families or entertainers needing high-capacity cooking.

“Largest and deepest pan... capable of frying chicken for 6-8 people... marble-coated raised honeycomb pan [is] aesthetic, functional, and easy to clean... fastest preheating times”
Professional reviewers commend the Elite Gourmet for being the largest and deepest skillet in its segment, offering rapid pre-heat, a premium marble-coated honeycomb non-stick surface, and a practical glass lid and spout. However, they caution that heat distribution can be uneven at higher settings and note the less-safe two-prong plug.
Everyday users praise the skillet's massive capacity, easy food release, dishwasher-safe pan, splatter-proof walls, and quick pre-heat, while recurring complaints focus on bottom discoloration, heat variability, heavy weight, and the two-prong plug.
