  1. Hi,

    Until recently my wife had a small griddle pan that she really loved. It was square, and no more
    than 7x7. It was the perfect size for making a single grilled cheese sandwich. It wasn't terribly
    expensive; like the cookware you might buy at Wal-Mart.

    We just moved, and the pan seems to have gone away as part of that. I'd like to get my wife a new
    one for Christmas, as well as her mother who's expressed some interest in one. Problem is, I can't
    find one like this anywhere.

    I'm not sure whether you'd call it a griddle or grill pan. It was flat with only the slightest trace
    of a lip around it. In searching on the internet, I see 10 or 11 inch versions of this called a
    griddle (like this one: amazon.comqid=1071218429
    ref=sr_8_xs_ap_i10_xgl79/002-6182745-0947205?v=glance&s=kitchen&n=507846)

    I've tried searching online on various combinations of words, and can't seem to find anything. Every
    store I've been in to doesn't have anything like it.

    Can anyone tell me whether or not they've ever seen anything like this? If so, any ideas as to where
    I might turn?

    Thanks in advance for any help, Aaron

    Closest I could come was on Amazon.com, but nothing that small. Ebay was no help either. :-P

    11" is not very big, would she settle for that?

    Better yet, try to remember the brand. That might help in the searches.

    I found a 7" griddle here, but it's round, not square:

    Don't know if that helps or not, I'll keep looking. :-)

    I know what it's like searching for "that" special item. <G>

    I have two Prizer (sometimes called Prizerware) pans. They are 6 inches square--heavy enameled cast
    iron or steel. I'm not sure they are still made. Mine are quite old. I got them both on eBay.

    I've seen small square pans at Hispanic markets, very inexpensive cast iron griddle pans in various
    shapes and sizes. But if your wallet feels flush Le Creuset makes a very fine 10" griddle pan:

    Does it absolutely have to be square? I have an 8" Wearever non-stick heavy aluminum skillet that's
    *my* grilled cheese pan. Also good for 2 (halved) slices of bacon or a small omelet. Or a large
    potato cake.

    No idea about a 7" square griddle. Lodge makes a great 12 inch square cast iron griddle. They also
    have a 9-inch diameter round griddle. What, you never want a toasted cheese sandwich with your wife?
    <G> I love Lodge cast iron.

    You can also get a 4" square cast iron skillet. Apparently they don't make the small round one I use
    for cooking a single burger or chicken breast half in anymore; thank goodness I kept mine!

    Good luck in your search.

    There are 10 types of people in the world. Those who understand binary and those who do not.

  10. That's getting close, but I'm pretty sure they wouldn't want if it wasn't square (see it's just the
    right size for a grilled cheese sandwich...)

    I sure do wish I could remember the brand, though. Like I said, it was definitely something cheap.
    What are the brands one would find at Wal-Mart or Target?

  11. Cook's Essentialls on QVC has a set of two square grill pans for about $27 plus shipping. I have
    used their cookware, and it is excellent!

    FWIW, Amazon has the Calphalon 10-inch griddle pan on sale (says today only) for $17.99. All I know
    about it is what's at the web site: tinyurl.comz2p6

    The OP might try some of the little catalogs like "Harriet Carter" or "Taylor Gifts" and others that
    carry bits of everything from soup to nuts. They seem to carry a fair number of cooking oddities and
    are usually quite inexpensive as well.

    Does the brand really matter? :-) Something that small, I've tried the "toy" search categories as
    well and got closer... <G>

    Browse at Wal-Mart or Target, you never know! Most of them carry "Lodge".

    I've been googling, but not much luck, but did not search specifically for Lodge griddles.

    That same site has some square fry pans and one was 5". I can't imagine what one would do with
    a 5" pan...

    A couple of people pointed out the Lodge small square skillets, and I think I prefer the idea of

    determine later which one goes to my wife and which one goes to her mother.

    You are using Netscape 4.77, aren't you? If so you are not the only one. I also use it and for about
    a week I have been having all kinds of problems with it. Upgrade to 7.01 or higher and it _MAY_
    resolve your problem.

    Ah, lovely... :-P Time to upgrade eh? That is just SO much fun! NOT!!! :-)

    Thanks for the suggestion. If that will fix the problem, that'd be great! Will snag sis' this
    weekend and see if we can patch it.

    OTOH, not being able to shop on ebay is probably saving me some money. <G>

    My sig. went dead this week also until someone pointed it out to me and I fixed it. eBay must have
    done an upgrade and not warned anyone.

    Serve them right if they lose millions for doing something that stoopid during the Christmas season!

    Merry Christmas! :-) I'm glad that somebody found what you were looking for...

    This is the best of usenet. <G>

    Now, if someone could help me with a browser that has started crashing on ebay..... <sigh>

    K.

    You are using Netscape 4.77, aren't you? If so you are not the only one. I also use it and for
    about a week I have been having all kinds of problems with it. Upgrade to 7.01 or higher and it
    _MAY_ resolve your problem.

    Ah, lovely... :-P Time to upgrade eh? That is just SO much fun! NOT!!! :-)

    Thanks for the suggestion. If that will fix the problem, that'd be great! Will snag sis' this
    weekend and see if we can patch it.

    OTOH, not being able to shop on ebay is probably saving me some money. <G>

    My sig. went dead this week also until someone pointed it out to me and I fixed it. eBay must have
    done an upgrade and not warned anyone.

    Serve them right if they lose millions for doing something that stoopid during the
    Christmas season!

    The problem seems to have gone away although one remaining issue remains. I had bookmarked My Ebay
    page so I could go in without having to enter login and password. That no longer works. Now I have
    to enter it even if I tell it to keep me logged in. Oh, well...

    the upgrade should not be too difficult to install.
