6 minutes at 325. in the oven and it cooks it fully in the small pan. I have one like it and it works great for sandwiches and such. No flipping necessary.

Just got one of these. I put it directly inside of my #10 pan. That way I can cook an egg separately from whatever else I'm cooking.

If you have three of those, and you have an induction stove top, you can cook three things at once on the largest induction thingy. So, if you were doing sausage and egg muffins, you can do three at a time. You don't need to flip btw... you can just put it under the grill. A good quality seasoned beef sausage, taken out of its casing and pressed down into that pan would make a nice sausage patty.

I have the same griswold, its been my favorite kitchen skillet so far. I love my lodges for camping. Fun vid.

I have a #3 Griswold that measures 7” spout to spout, and has a 5.25” cooking surface. Perfect for an egg, 2 scrambled, and a hamburger for one. I love it!

love it! gotta get one and add it to my collection! thanks for the video!

I have a 4 inch nonstick skillet that had been around at least 10 years in a child's cook set and thought I would give it a try and I love it for cooking eggs and whatever will fit in it! Have baked a biscuit on stovetop, air fryer, oven. Covering egg with a saucer eliminates any other step! Lids for these are outrageous in price! Happy cooking!!

I just bought one of those 3.5in cast iron pan and it’s so cute, I can’t wait to make my English egg muffin sandwich, yours looks so delicious!

I have one extremely similar, it had a fancy smelling candle that looked like some kind of cobbler. Melted all the was out of it, seasoned it ... Very pleased with it, I don't get how people just throw out a perfectly good skillet because some wax was in it preseasoning.

They should make a combo cooker version of the 3"er. The type that has a lid with a handle just like the pan. All you'd have to do is flip the whole thing over to finish cooking the other side. I'd get one.

Thanks for the review on the 3.5". I've been wondering about them. Perfect eggs for muffins!

I have this 3 1/2" skillet too! I love to use this to fry one egg & make pancakes (the size is just right for me, I like making smaller pancakes ;) ), so easy to use!

I like your counter top. It gives me a good idea for my kitchen island concept. I acquired an armload of 12" floor tiles and I`m gonna cement them onto my island top, if I can. Love the McMuffin idea too. Thanks

I happened upon one one your cast iron videos, and was gladdened to discover another cast iron 'nut'. I am never going back to the non-stick life. Give me cast iron, and I can cook!

I've been doing this for a long time.... Love my little cast iron skillets.... I use two on one burner (glass top) they make a perfect size egg for breakfast sandwiches and once the skillets are nice and seasoned-- they are the best ever !

I love the three sizes of Lodge cast iron I own (10", 8" and 6 1/4") so I'm tempted to buy and use the little baby Lodge as you indicated. Thanks for your suggestion. If it's Lodge, it has to be awesome.

A perfect tadka pan, a sort of pan that we use in India for tempering spices.

I'm pretty sure I've seen those tiny pans used to bake little pan cookies in restaurants. You bake a single cookie in the mini iron pan and then top with ice cream, whipped cream and chocolate ganache and you have a lovely little fresh cookie sundae.

I just purchased this❤️. It’s so small & Awesome

Great video, actually really enjoyed this one

Looks really good.

Great video, thank you! You can also buy the biscuit cast iron pan if you want to make multiple sandwiches.

I use mine on a small wood coaster to keep cheese or dipping sauce warm for when its just my wife and I. Keeps the dips/sauces warm longer without having to make a bunch. Even works great for making chocolate sauce filled brownies with our daughter or any baking she wants to try. Less mess than a big pan and it fits her hands better. lol

We have a Jambalaya Festival in Gonzales. The kids have a compitition to cook in a Quart size Mini Castiron Pot.

Cool little Lodge egg pan ! Yeah, making egg muffins in the morning with it would be nice.

These small skillets were used/sold as ash trays,back in the day.LOOKS GOOD,the smallest i own is a 6 inch,they work good for HOT SIZZLING DISHES.

I bought one of those at a local store that cares some cast iron. I had the same thought in mind. I'm thinking you could probably bake it too. I haven't tried mine yet but if it works in the oven I may get a couple more so I can make my kids some breakfast sandwiches

I think I would start the egg on the stove and then finish it off in the oven. I think I would like to have one of those! Great video.

That worked perfectly. I'll be getting a tiny pan like that for sure.

I was looking for this on the Lodge site and couldn't find it. Thanks for the link.

Stocking stuffers is a great idea!❤ I LOVE egge McMuffins BUT I know what’s in them so I haven’t had one in a very long time. Hopefully soon I will get one of these little ones.🙏🏻👍🙏🏻

I saw one of these from a local company. It was so cute I wanted to buy it but for the price I didn’t think it would get much use. Having to use two pans seems like too much. Love that it fits on yours English muffin perfectly tho. I usually do croissant egg sandwiches so the weird shape my eggs usually make in bigger pans works well for the croissant shape.

A little baby Lodge! That's so cute!!! lol 😂

Cute skillet ☺

I use the same method of flipping into a larger pan! I add the cheese after the flip, and cover the pan. Cheese gets nice and melty.

Just saw this on Lodge, promoting as individual cooking and serving dishes. Mini skillet for cornbread or eggs, mini Cauldron/Kettle for soup or individual mac n cheese, even cast iron bowls and serving plates, all oven safe and, SURPRISE, apparently rust proof due to some special heat treatment, which is smart if your gonna serve meals on it. (Don't know if the 3.5" is included in that). Even have mini trivets to serve it on to protect tabletop. Odd choice of tableware but I guess it's a nice idea if you're into theme dinner parties, like country cooking night or southern food night.

I have this little Lodge, use it for a spoon rest and it works great for that! I also have a Lodge 5" skillet with the cast iron lid that fits it. Haven't used it, I just wanted it to go with all my other Lodge cast iron. Oh yes, my next piece of Lodge is the Sportsman's cast iron grill/hibachi and I plan to use hickory wood in it!!

Thanks for the info.

I have a mini sized cast iron skillet but the rim is about 3/8 inch high. Looks almost like a spoon rest, but for one egg it's perfect. No marks to identify the maker. This thing has had a lot of use. I bought it at an estate sale along with three old LP records for two dollars.

What a cute baby skillet !

I bought two of them last week and did the same thing. My wife loves those Egg Muffins. Going to bring them with us on vacation at the cabins for simple breakfast. Not much to do low profile and throw them back in the container in the trunk. Thanks for the tip.

I have several of these mini skillets and I use them to bake cookies in or for the extra batter when I make muffins. I'll have to try this idea for cooking an egg, thanks!

I have 2 of those use them daily, also I made a cast iron spatula from a 18.00 Lodge skillet and I heat it up and hold it over the top of the egg until done.

Awesome video! Thx!!

That little 3.5" pan may be small, but everyone should have one, great addition for small tasks. Plus it's only a few bucks, can't go wrong.

I have one of those mini skillets, and also the 6" one. I've never use the very small one for cooking, though, because it is too small for my electric burners. Right now I'm using it as a tray for my salt grinder.

I just got a small pan and used it for the first time this morning. I scrambled 2 large eggs which ended up being a little too much lol... I'll try one at a time. But the sandwich was wonderful!

mind blowing !!!!

We just got the same one! It’s perfect for making English muffin sandwiches

Yes I've seen that many of the mini cast irons are sold as ashtrays and spoon holders, but clean they are perfect if you just want to make a small egg sandwich on an English muffin like this as a snack. I don't have the smaller round Lodge, but I do have a Griswold 129 which is about the same size but square.

I loved your video so much that I went out and bought 2 of these at my local Home Hardware store. $15 Canadian each. Better than Amazon price!

I've viewed this video a few times and this time read all 404 comments. Some interesting egg cooking options were shared, some for these miniature Lodge skillets. I just got 3 of them, primarily for baking. But I think I will try some of the suggestions for making eggs. I normally don't bother with making one egg so having multiple mini skillets should be fun. I make homemade bread so I could make sandwiches of any size or shape. Refrigerator dough from the store would also work for people that don't make their own. I have the 6.5" and 5" square skillets because it's fun to try different things with cast iron skillets of different sizes. Are you still using the mini skillet for sandwiches or just keeping as wall decor?

Ok now thats cool im going to try that

Very helpful.

I LOVE mine! To make it non-stick, the first thing I did was SAND IT SMOOTH inside, and re-season it. Now I just fry a sausage patty in a 10" pan, while melting a pat of butter in this small pan. I dump out the excess butter, then add the egg, barely breaking the yolk. When the sausage is almost done, I drop the muffin into the toaster and turn the egg out into the pan frying the sausage. The result: a perfect egg McMuffin in under 12 minutes without having to wait in line!

It can even be purchased just to have it. So sweet pan :))

That is awesome! and its so cute! i love to eat egg and sausage paddy in English muffins for breakfast! that is a perfect cooking tool for that!

I have 1 to...works great...i can flip it in small pan...took awhile to learn

Thank you for posting this, the other search results were driving me INSANE.

You could try to put some type of tiny lid to allow the heat to cook the top. Just get your timing down. That is an Americas Test Kitchen trick that works very well. Thanks for your videos and dedicated work.

What’s the dimension of the next size? Nice video thanks.

Nice Pan!

Hi, good video thanks. is the base of this pan big enough to fit a standard hamburger bun? Any idea? A standard bun would be 3.5 but this skillet looks smaller.

Very cute!

I have eight of those little Lodge pans for special lava cake desserts. They're really a spoon rest, I was told.

Head to Aldi and buy their frozen pre-cooked breakfast sausage patties. 1 minute in the microwave to be ready for the sandwich, and they are perfect muffin size. So delicious.

help please. i'm thinking of buying a round 10.5 cast iron pan but i would have to use it on a 6 inch eletric burner, would the whole pan heat up evenly all over or be hotter just ware the pan sits on the burner??? thanks

Those work great for spoon rests.

Neat. I just make a scrambled mass of 2-3 eggs with great skill & fold this onto a toasted English Muffin with the cheese. Its not so hard, and actually looks way more delicious. Lately I enjoy using salted butter, FG pepper and dry sage and basil.

oh the little one is soooo cute!!!!!! perfect for one egg!

I love my tiny little pans. I use them to melt butter for pancakes and other pastries. I also use them for individual corn cakes, cobblers or frying up a few chopped onions, bell peppers or jalapenos. Perfect little things! :)

Itty bitty frying pan... soooo cute!

Have you tried flipping it with a little rubber spatula? Looks like it holds together enough it would flip easy. I need to get myself one of these tiny skillets for eggs. I love making egg and cheese McMuffins. I like that it’s the perfect size. And mine will have American cheese lol

Omg IT'S SO CUTE!!! 🥰🥰

Cool i just ordered one, $6.22 shipped. Wont hurt to try lol. Thanks.

If you want to cook the top of the egg just put a lid or saucer for the last couple of minutes of frying.. it's that simple.

It’s like watching an episode of Tiny Kitchen ❤️

I use the ring of a mason jar lid! perfect, round, runny yolk eggs. I spray it with non stick spray so that the egg doesnt stick to it and once i see it starting to cook on top (i like to cover the egg while still in the ring with a pan lid) and then remove the ring and flip and let it finish. Get great breakfast sandwiches everytime.

Dudes cooking with an ashtray. BUT IT WORKS.

How about usign several of these to make individual corn breads (using your Grandmas recipe of course) and serve in the skillets.

Nicely done! :D

How did you get that number 5 pan looking so nice?

Is the #5 a Vollrath?

I received this as a joke. I use it to cook 1/4 slices of bacon for garnishes. Still experimenting with eggs. This inspired me to try again! Thanks!

Second skillet would’ve been best at full cooking heat... then turned off after 20 second after egg was dropped in. Excellent video

Thanks, now I'm hungry...LOL Looks great!

Perfect egg McMuffin. Cool.

the secret to frying an egg in one of these tiny skiilets is a cover. what i do is heat the pan up to cooking temp, add a thin slice of cold butter and immediately crack in the egg and cover with aluminum foil. leave it alone for 3 minutes, uncover, flip and continue cooking for about half a minute. the moisture in the butter+the cover steams the top of the egg and also helps prevent the egg from sticking to the pan. if you wanted to use a different fat, i would add some water to the pan after cracking in the egg and cover it as quickly as possible. make sure the pan is hot

Many comments about them being used as an ashtray...of course you can but the one I have actually have longer pour spouts to hold a cigarette and is obviously a novelty item. The bottom has a stuck on floral design. My no name #5 with a ring can cook two eggs beautifully over easy with a lid...a third egg can snuggle in there just nicely. If I had one of these I would use it on a griddle or inside a larger skillet...I like the hair on my knuckles! Four of these would be nice. I could get real creative with something like this.

I like how the egg didn't stick in the small skillet and it finished perfectly in the larger skillet.

I've got 2 of the tiny pans. One of them is an "ashtray" or spoon rest design. (I'm NOT letting the "ashtray" version in my kitchen) but the spoon rest version is allowed (even though they are the same design.) The other is a "tiny skillet" design. I haven't used either one for any more than a spoon rest. (And, they both are "pebbly" as heck.) (New Lodge finish.) steve

Very nicely done! :)

Eggs-actly! Homemade is always better than buying outside, not as convenient, but better! Use it well, now I'm gonna get me one!

The amount of butter you put in there looked like it would have been half a stick if it were scaled up. hahaha. My son got me one of these for my birthday and I love it.

that looks mad good yo

nice video on the 3.5 i looked at the 6.5 the other day and thought it would fit perfect in my back pack now i want a 3.5 as well ...........

how cute!!! *rubies off to buy one*

When I cook an egg in my 6' cast iron skillet I coat it with a thin coat of oil then heat it on medium low until hot. Then drop in the egg and immediately cover it with a small glass lid and turn off the heat. the residual heat from the skillet and the trapped heat will cook the whites thoroughly to sunny side up with a runny yoke. Don't want a runny yoke, keep it covered longer.

Wow thats v cute one

Have 2 griswolds same size. Since they’re called ashtrays I was using them for cigars. Now I have to clean them
