I should have read the description better. When I got the pan, I was very surprised at how small it was. The whole thing rests on half of my small burner. It will be now used to rest spoons, or maybe even melting a pad of butter (maybe).

I love this skillet. It's great for quickly melting butter, tempering curries and roasting small amounts of spices, and doubles as a spoon rest. Cleanup is a breeze. I just swipe it with a piece of tissue. It's not something that one absolutely needs in the kitchen, but a great addition just for the cuteness factor.

This tiny skillet fits in the palm of your hand. I wasn't too sold on it until I found the ultimate use for it. Roasting garlic.

You fill the tiny pan with peeled cloves of raw garlic, shoot in some olive oil and a pinch of salt, and put it on low heat. The garlic cooks in the tiny oil bath yielding awesome roasted garlic, as well as delicious garlicy olive oil.

I'm buying these for stocking stuffers this year.

Like another reviewer has already said, what do you expect when the description said miniature skillet? The price should have been a dead giveaway and it almost is. A really great price for great quality. I scramble 1 to 2 eggs depending on the size egg I happen to have on hand and cover the skillet with a saucer or salad plate to styeam the egg till solid. With a little ham, a sausage patty, or two strips of cut up bacon and a slice of cheese, one can enjoy a better sandwich than can be found at the local hamburger place. I just don't understand any complaints about this great deal. I'm sure I will find many additional uses.

I have seen this skillet presented to a fisherman at his retirement party. This is a guy who is known for frying up the small ones.
