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: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...d=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 |

Apologies for top posting, but I'd already answered this post and this
is a followup. I found a 7" griddle here, but it's round, not squa https://www.jackscountrystore.com/secure/griddle.html Don't know if that helps or not, I'll keep looking. :-) I know what it's like searching for "that" special item. <G> K.

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? -Aaron In article >, Katra > wrote: > Apologies for top posting, but I'd already answered this post and this > is a followup. > > I found a 7" griddle here, but it's round, not squa > > https://www.jackscountrystore.com/secure/griddle.html > > Don't know if that helps or not, I'll keep looking. :-) > > I know what it's like searching for "that" special item. <G> > > K. > > Aaron Wright wrote: > > > > Hi, > > > > Until recently my wife had a small griddle pan that she really loved.

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...

I've seen small square pans at Hispanic markets, very inexpensive cast iron griddle pans in various shapes and sizes.

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! |

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. |

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: http://tinyurl.com/z2p6 David |

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. Jill |

I keep about 90 days worth of ebay files. One of the problems of doing business on the internet is you have LOTS of stored files that need to be incorporated into any upgrading of a browser program. <G> My sister knows how to do it, so I pay her to take care of it for me. Usually takes a couple of hours. She told me tho' that the upgrade for Nyetscape sux, so suggested that I just keep this one for mail and news, and go ahead and set up the Internet Explorer program that is being stored unused at the moment. I just have to configure it, then can use it for web browsing and bidding. Thanks!
