Daizey 0 #1 December 8, 2004 I know this sounds silly, but my dad's been obsessed with finding a small (about 4 inches) cast iron frying pan...one that is just large enough to fit a single egg in.....he hasn't found one as of yet and I thought it would be cool to find him one for christmas... Well, after going through tons of kitchen stores, ebay, and tag sales I still have yet to find this tiny frying pan. Smallest (useable) one I have come across was 6 1/2 inches. I did find a 5 inch pan but it was rusted beyond belief Has anyone seen one or know of where I can find one? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!! *daizey* Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FlyingJ 0 #2 December 8, 2004 Uh...well if you feel like taking a chance and making a trip into NYC I gave one to the Goodwill on 181st Street about 5 months ago! Pretty much the exact thing you are looking for. Hated to give it away but when I moved I literally did not have enough room in the van for a little frying pan.Killing threads since 2004.

nanook 1 #3 December 8, 2004 It might come in the form of one of those cheese and sausage christmas packets that sell as well as holiday fruitcake. I got one of those for christmas a couple of years back. It was an actual mini-cast iron pan (3 1/2 to 4 inches)with a link of sausage, a wedge of cheese and a box of four crackers on a bed of paper grass. You might be able to find one online in one of those businesses that do that._____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #4 December 8, 2004 This is the closest I could find: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00008GKCA/ref=nosim/searchengin07-20/002-5843833-2224866?dev-t=D3640U3GS53SRF A guy I used to know had a super small cast iron skillet he used at rendevues (frontiersmen re-enactment...I used to do that, anyways), but I'll be damned if I can remember where he got it.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

Daizey 0 #5 December 8, 2004 Darn I bet they dont have it anymore haha...i might jsut make a trip in to see though lol. The closest Ive come is this. But theyre not cast-iron and theyre slightly too large (although if i find soemthing im not gonna be too picky over 3/4 of an inch!) But I guess it sort of gives ya an idea of what I'm looking for *daizey* Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daizey 0 #6 December 8, 2004 Close...perfect size....but it has to be round haha... As for those holiday things...I saw a bunch of them in walmart the other day and they're about 6"-theyre small...but not small enough... I know I'm being sorta picky, but I want it to be perfect! And I know he's been looking for it forever, so I can just imagine his face if he sees that I found it *daizey* Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Option 1: Target has 8" skillets and some have a 6" for a single-egg omlette. Option 2: Look at Coleman, they have all sorts of campware cookery (trust me they've thought of everything) and you can order it online. ____________________________________________________________ I'm RICK JAMES!
