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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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’m boiling 2 eggs* in a pan that measures just over 11 cm across. We bought it in a shop in Majorca, and I can’t help wondering why I never see any such thing here - though I dare say they’re available online.
It means less water to heat up, and the smallest hob is fine, so less gas is needed.

*for my zero-carbs brunch - will mash with a little mayonnaise, S&P and a smidgeon of butter.
