Mini cast iron Skillet

[Globetrotter.uk]

Just picked up a Brownie cooking kit with cast iron skillet from B&M £5. Ideal for my hobo stove, enough room to fry a giant hash brown or burger.

Got a similar one from aldi last year. It's in constant use home and away. Great buy. It will do an egg and a couple of rashers nicely .

Need to visit B & M now! Missed out on their salt blocks earlier in the year.

I looked at those just last week, and if I wanted to camp with anything but as light as I could go, I'd have bought it.
Came with a couple of cake mixes, iirc.
Was tempted for the house, looks ideal for individual rosti, etc.,

Ikea sell a great pan for use on stoves, i have 1 that i use in the house also;

The smallest version packs well enough and is solidly built, the non-stick works great is hasn't got any marks on it.

I pair it with a good steel mug and an msr pot or aluminium billy usually. Great for frying some bacon then cracking 3 eggs in, letting it all cook in to a big omelette like thing.

Wilkos have them as well if it helps

The oval shaped sizzlers are perfect for a solo brekkie on a fire or a stove.
I enjoy mine anyway:

A bump on this as I’ve seen little cast iron pans in Tesco ready for Christmas at £6!

I've bought nice little cast iron pans like that. They make wonderful gifts. I kept 4 of them for myself.

There's some kind of black paint crap over the iron. They need a serious cooking over a 400+F propane grill to burn that shite off. You will smell it, it's rude.

I cook on 2 in the kitchen, oven re-heats and so on.
The others are wood dishes for serious smoker BBQ service.

Once you get down to the grey magnificence of cast iron, everything tastes better.

Anybody got any pictures of these in use? Not sure if they’re just a little too small..

 

[Robson Valley]

No more than the size of your open hand. Tonight, I'll reheat 2 stuffed chicken thighs on one of them and a dozen(?) of those pseudo potatoes, the "Tater Tots" on another. Lazy sod that I am, I'll use little sheets of nonstick foil as drip dishes.

If I wanted to do fajitas for 4 people, I have the wooden bases (do not care if they burn a little) and actually 5 oval cast iron cook plates. They hold the heat so well when you serve.

My daughter was given a couple of these pans, to cook fudge or brownies or somesuch, earlier this year. She gave the pans to me thinking they would be useful for me. At 120mm dia and 15mm deep, you'll not cook a lot in them, just enough room for a medium egg. The casting is pretty rough too, making them a bugger to clean. I'll stick to my 230mm cast pan.

 

[FerlasDave]

Thanks for that! Gosh they’re even smaller than I thought! I have been thinking about getting a 6” pan for just myself, I was hoping they’d be more that sort of size.

If anyone would like one of these, I have two to give away. Just PM me.

Surely you won't be posting them?

They are only 450g. RM large letter second class, £1.99.

Very generous of you.

I'll pick one up from Tescos however.

 

[Broch]

I have a few (four I think) and always thought I would use them for cooking something on an open fire but they have never seemed like the right solution when it comes down to it

They're a novelty - a good way to serve up fried scallops in sweet chilly sauce at a dinner party

 

[TeeDee]

I cook alot in an Old boot these days.

Surprisingly versatile. Multipurpose.

Cheat. Lie through your teeth.

You heat up the cast iron plates in the 375F oven. You cook on the stove top (scallops? fajitas? hot stir fried pepper shrimp, etc). Then you plate that on the hot iron to sizzle and serve.

I confess that I have oval iron pans with handles for that. I'm so crude that I run them through the dishwasher machine without a problem. Just for myself, I use non-stick Al-foil over the iron for convenience.

My mini cast iron frypans (by appearance) usually get service as apple wood chunk dishes in BBQ. Grill service isn't long enough to bother with.

I have twin grandsons. They like to see their eggs done in their "own pans".
