The Best Mini Cast Iron Skillet

A mini cast iron skillet is perfect for individual portions, side dishes, or serving appetizers. Like its larger counterpart, a properly seasoned mini cast iron pan will develop a natural nonstick surface through the polymerization of oils. The compact size makes it ideal for single-serving dishes, melting butter, toasting spices, or creating individual desserts.

The Lodge mini skillet comes pre-seasoned and ready to use. Its small size makes it perfect for camping, small portions, or creative presentation. Despite its size, it retains all the heat retention properties of larger cast iron cookware.

Care and Maintenance

Like all cast iron cookware, the mini skillet should be cleaned immediately after use with hot water and a brush. Avoid soaking in water to prevent rust. After cleaning, dry thoroughly and apply a thin layer of oil to maintain the seasoning. The small size makes it easy to handle and maintain.
