Tiny saucepans

I had one years ago. It was handy for many things. You can get them on Amazon if you type in small pans and choose the size.
I had to buy a new pan set recently and the smallest one is bigger than the one I got rid of. All pan sets nowadays don't seem to have a small milk pan like they used to do.

I bought mine on recent holiday in Malta from the Sunday market at the bottom of the island €10 - perfect for 4 boiled eggs. I hadn’t found a small enough one anywhere on line.

Having arthritic hands and wrist joint, I cannot hold a heavy pan. I have replaced most pans with light ones and found TKMaxx the best place to buy them.

My mother-in-law bought a tiny pan like this in her local town. She found it in a specialist cookware shop.

They are about.

My electric hob has specific sized areas and energy is wasted if one uses pans which are smaller than the designated sizes. A pain! And not suitable for small pans.

Are you looking for what we always called a ‘milk saucepan’ if so they have plenty on Amazon for about a tenner

They are often on offer here in Germany at Aldi or Lidl. I like the Aldi "Crofton" pans. Only this week you can get a selection of 20 cm pans

I suppose they're more frying pans than mik pans but the one on the right is quite deep.lk

I don't boil eggs in a saucepan. I bought an electric egg boiler. It holds 7 eggs, but I boil 1 or two. It came with a little measuring cup for the water. Best thing I've bought in a long time.

I’m sure there were tiny saucepans in Aldi and possibly TK Maxx, certainly even the supermarkets have tiny frying pans.

I'm another fan of egg boilers. So quick and easy and v economical too. Same price as a pan.

It does poached eggs too

Camping and outdoor shops do small pans.

A milk pan is different.
My mother-in-law's has a lid.

Judge make a 12cm one -

There are lots on Amazon by the way.
I didn't look at lakeland but they may have one.

No, I’ve always had one of those. This pan is quite a bit smaller. 11 cm is just over 4 inches. A normal milk pan (like mine) is 15 cm.

I have a teeny tiny frying pan probably more suitable for a toy kitchen, bought on Amazon where I misread cm for inches!
You can make an individual (undersized) pancake on it or fry one egg though.

So just over an inch in difference does it really make that much difference Whitzend ?

Just another fan of electric egg boilers. Have had one for nearly thirty years (Not same one). So quick to use, I have soft boiled eggs (2) most days for lunch and I come in from wherever I have been in the morning, and two eggs in this, make a mug of tea with my hot water tap, butter a couple of slices of bread and I have my lunch ready in less than five minutes.

I know exactly what you mean Witzend as I use the same for boiling eggs. Bought mine in one of those shops that sell everything many moons ago.

The handle on mine was getting dodgy and it was riveted on so I no screws to tighten - I replaced it with this -

I got mine in TKMax. I find they are very good for 'unusual' things.

I have 3 small saucepans. I bought in Sainsburys !
Very useful for just me. Veg, potatoes etc

As an alternative to Amazon, John Lews have a lidded "sauce pot" - really good quality with a 20 year guarantee (longer than I'd probably need heheh) at a pricey £35 or from Dunelm - a lidded milk pan for £22. Both are 12cm. I agree that small pans are so good to have on hand.
