Castel'Pro Stainless Steel Mini Frying Pan by Cristel

The Castel'Pro® Mini Frying Pan brings the collection’s responsive stainless construction into very small diameters—3.5, 4, and 4.5 inches. These are not substitutes for a full-size skillet; they are portion tools for finishing a sauce, warming a garnish, cooking a single small component, or presenting an individual preparation in the pan itself.

“Mini cookware works when the portion is part of the point. I like these for a single egg, a little browned butter, mushrooms for one plate, or a warm accompaniment brought directly to the table. Their usefulness comes from scale, so choose one only if that scale matches how you cook.”
-Mrs. Mayfair

Care & Ownership

Before first use, wash in very hot water with liquid dish soap, rinse thoroughly, and dry. Use controlled heat rather than sustained maximum heat. On gas, keep the flame within the base. Clean promptly after cooking and dry fully before storage.
