Elite Gourmet Electric Skillet EG-6203 vs Nesco 8 inch Electric Skillet Side-by-Side Comparison

Overall Verdict
As our best deep pan and our best small pick respectively, both the $58 Elite Gourmet Electric Skillet EG-6203 and the $30 Nesco 8-Inch Electric Skillet ES-08 excel at their intended purposes.
The Elite Gourmet excels in cooking large meals, with its marble-coated raised honeycomb pan ensuring even cooking of pancakes and tender, juicy steaks. Its fast preheating times are a significant advantage, though it does have some uneven heat distribution. Conversely, the Nesco Non-Stick Electric Skillet ES-08 is perfect for single servings or small meals, offering the most even heat distribution and quickest heating due to its compact 8-inch size.
The Elite Gourmet has a user-friendly trigger release thermostat and is designed for large-scale cooking, holding up to 10.5 quarts and measuring 16 inches across. The Nesco is ideal for 1-person serving but its hard padded base can cause stability issues, especially when filled with hot liquids.
