What are the differences between an omelette pan and a skillet?

Someone wants to buy me one and I have skillets. Is nonstick something to opt for? Thanks in advance.

    Size is the major issue, along with the sides of an omlet pan beig a little lower to aide in flipping. Both are nice to have. I love using mine for frying eggs.

    An omelette 'skillet' is usually a little deeper to hold all the ingrediants that may be contained. It is also helpful to flip and catch the omelette.

    An omelette pan has lower straight sides.

    I like a square-shaped griddle for bacon & omelettes.

    Non-stick (Teflon) doesn't last forever, heat destroys it.

    If somebody else is buying go for the stainless steel.

    Generally the omelet pan has a steeper slope in the sides of the pan

    omelet pan is generally smaller, say 7' or 8' in diameter, has a more 'bowl' shape to it and yes, non-stick is preferable
