Overview
At 7 inches across, the Elite Gourmet EFS059 is sized for single servings, with a 600-watt heating element, nonstick surface, tempered glass lid, and a removable locking handle for storage.
It's built for single servings rather than family meals, small enough to fit in a bag for a dorm room, office, or RV. Reviewers repeatedly describe it as effectively a fixed-heat, on-off appliance rather than one with a dial to set, which several find sufficient for their needs and a few call limiting when they want more control. Stability is the other recurring theme: the unit sits on three small rubber feet that can wobble when pressed with a spatula.
- 7-inch by 7-inch cooking surface
- Tempered glass lid with cool-touch knob
- Removable locking handle
- 600-watt rapid heating element
Who it's for
Single servings are this skillet's whole purpose: an egg, a grilled cheese, a small stir-fry, in a dorm, small kitchen, or on the road. Anyone wanting precise temperature control or a surface large enough for more than one person's meal should look elsewhere.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.

The recurring complaints are that it runs on a single heat rather than a true adjustable dial, that it can wobble on its feet during use, and that the nonstick coating can nick or peel with light wear.
