Lodge 8.89 cm / 3.5 inch Pre-Seasoned Cast Iron Round Mini Skillet / Frying Pan

Product Information

Pouring spouts: look for skillets that come equipped with pouring spouts as they prove incredibly useful when it comes to disposing of fat or grease or when making a delicious gravy or sauce, as these spouts allow for mess-free pouring. Spouts on either side of the pan mean they’re easy to use for both left- and right-handed users. Handles: The size of a skillet handle will vary quite dramatically. A small handle makes a large skillet easier to move (it’s gentler on the wrist) and will often be paired with a helper handle. It will also make the skillet easier to store. Large, ergonomic handles feel more comfortable but suit a lighter skillet.
