This is the Lodge 5-inch mini skillet — a tiny cast iron pan sized for single-portion cooking and serving. At 5 inches across, this pan cooks a single fried egg, a single-serve cast iron cookie, a personal cornbread, or an individual skillet appetizer like baked brie or shakshuka-for-one. It doubles as a tabletop serving vessel — the cast iron holds heat to keep the dish warm at the table.
It’s the pan that shows up at restaurants as a serving piece for personal-size skillet dishes, and at home for anyone who cooks for one or wants a dedicated pan for personal-portion sides. Pre-seasoned at the foundry and oven-safe to any temperature.
Lodge has been making cast iron cookware in South Pittsburg, Tennessee since 1896 — the longest continuously operating cast iron foundry in the United States. Every traditional black cast iron piece in the Lodge lineup is cast, seasoned, and packed at that Tennessee foundry.
