Elite Gourmet Electric Skillet EG-6203 vs BELLA Electric Skillet 14607

Overall Verdict

While the Elite Gourmet Non-Stick Electric Skillet EG-6203# is ideal for those who need to cook large meals, the Bella Electric Skillet 14607 is a solid choice for smaller households.

The Elite Gourmet delivers excellent performance with fast preheating times and effective cooking of various foods, from pancakes to steaks. Despite some uneven heat distribution, its performance is commendable for large-scale cooking with a 16-inch size and 10.5-quart capacity.

In comparison, the Bella excels in searing steaks with its efficient heat distribution and quick heating times. However, its performance with delicate foods like pancakes is average, indicating a focus on high-temperature cooking.

The Elite Gourmet boasts a marble-coated raised honeycomb pan, combining aesthetics with functionality. Usability for the Elite Gourmet skillet is enhanced by its trigger release thermostat and easy-to-clean surface. Its large size, however, may pose storage challenges. On the other hand, the Bella features a ceramic coating, which is generally good, but our testing revealed chipping and a problem with burn-ons.
