Lodge Logic L5MS3 5 Inch Miniature Skillet Review
This skillet is very small; You won't be able to cook much in it. The one advantage, is that it's perfectly shaped to make an egg for a breakfast sandwich, when used with the lid. Besides that, you could toast spices, melt butter, make an individual brownie, or reheat a single biscuit.
I respectfully disagree about being able to make a grilled cheese sandwich in this. You can't; It's too small.
I tried cooking 3 sausage links with this. Due to the small size, they ended up "deep frying" in their own grease, which I don't like. I'd recommend the 8 inch skillet for that purpose.
I was able to find another good use; roasting garlic cloves on the stovetop, using the lid. Peel the cloves, add olive oil, and cook for an hour or more on very low heat.
My conclusion is, if you want to roast garlic or make perfectly shaped eggs for breakfast sandwiches, get this skillet, and be sure to also purchase the lid for even top/bottom heating! Otherwise, get the 6 inch round, or 5 inch square wonder skillet, which actually has more cooking area and you CAN cook a grilled cheese sandwich. I wish Lodge made a lid for those!
I found another use for this skillet today. There was a recipe that called for a 1/2 egg. So what to do with the other half? Cook it in this skillet and give it to the dog as a treat. Similarly, what do you do when your package of steak includes a very tiny strip, too small for the grill? Cook it in this skillet for the dog.

Really really tiny! - J. Lee - USA
This cast iron is great like most lodge products but it was so much smaller than I had envisioned.
Heck it can barely fit an egg.
So what can I use it for?
Well there are times I might need to cook a sauce or something and then bake it, the I can use this as a serving container and it gives it a great rustic presentation on the table. Other than that I can't really find a good general purpose use for this.
Perfect for Pizookies! - CJ Mac -
I specifically purchased these skillets for the purpose of making the half-baked cookie desserts, pizookies (if you have never heard of that, you are missing out!
Seriously, pizookies are absolutely the best dessert ever and these skillets cook them perfectly! I plan to purchase more so that I can entertain larger parties as guests love experiencing these desserts home-made. The best way to do that is to just make plain cookie dough, set out chips and nuts for people to build their own, bake them at 475 degrees for about 6-8 minutes, and then serve with a scoop of ice cream on top (also, you'll want to serve the actual skillet on a plate with a pot holder for obvious reasons).
These skillets really are a perfect size for the dessert and I've used them about dozen times now with no signs of degrading whatsoever (although, I'm careful to follow the cleaning instructions).
