Elite Gourmet EG6201
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 EG6201 provides a deep 7.5-quart cooking space with a 1200 W embedded heating element and scratch-resistant marbleized non-stick coating. Its weight ambiguity and non-submersible base are potential drawbacks. Suitable for larger households needing a versatile, stove-free skillet.
