Not a bad idea if you want a quick way to heat up cast iron for a grilled cheese...would hold up on a camp stove or direct fire. Probably not for me but it has it's application! A bigger pan means a bigger area to clean and more water usage. A heavier to lift pan would make it more likely to fall or drop or hurt your shoulder/elbow. Bigger pan means a bigger pain to store....I'm kinda talking myself into it! I love my Lodge cast iron and Lodge carbon steel pans!

This tiny Lodge skillet is best for single servings and quick, high-heat cooking, especially grilled cheese, eggs, cornbread, tortillas, and small pizzas or baked treats. The cast iron holds heat well, works on camp stoves, induction, ovens, grills, and campfires, and can be easy to clean once seasoned and preheated. Its main drawback is size, since it is very small and awkward for cooking for more than one person or for larger bread. It is a niche pan, but a handy one for compact cooking.

Common Questions (4)

  • It works best for single servings and small portions: grilled cheese, eggs, cornbread, tortillas, toad in the hole, mini pizzas, and small baked items like cookies or brownies. It also fits camping, camp stoves, and small ovens, but it is too small for cooking for more than one person.

  • It can cook eggs well once properly seasoned and preheated; heating it for a few minutes and then cooking on medium-low helps it behave effectively non-stick. It is not Teflon, so seasoning and temperature control matter more than just oil alone.

  • Yes, it is very small and mainly useful for individual servings or niche uses. For larger meals it becomes impractical and can end up as clutter, though its size makes it easy to store in a drawer.

  • Yes, it is compatible with induction, oven, grill, and campfire use. Its small size also makes it handy for quick heating on a camp stove or direct fire.

Only way to make cast iron non stick is to use butter or a gallon of oil lol.
it's not non stick like teflon, but if you season it and preheat to an appropriate temperature it'll cook eggs and other sticky stuff without sticking. state of the art circa 1950

I don't think seasoning it alone will help. Can't just season it, then drop an egg on it and expect it to not stick. More to it than that.

Very small size—if you're cooking for more than one person this won't suffice alone.

practically speaking you have to use some oil or butter, even on teflon

True but Teflon you can use anything and just a drip of it. Cast iron or stainless it seems like only butter works the best. Other oils suck

Would this be too small to cut into the shape of a spatula and be useful? Can anyone confirm the measurements of the surface area and handle?

I've been seeing a lot videos lately of people cutting old/damaged cast iron pans and making spatulas with them and want to give it a try but this might be too small regarding the handle length and flat surface area.

Actually a well seasoned cast iron pan can cook an egg without any additional oil. Granted it would be silly to do it, but I tried it a few times after carefully seasoning (sanding, oiling and baking many cycles until it had a clean hard surface) and it worked.

I bought 3 of these and have been using them to cook eggs. They work great. To get them non-stick you just have to let them heat up for a few minutes, and then cool on medium low heat.
