Sear like the big pans
Thin nonstick pans lose their heat the second food hits them. This solid iron body soaks up heat and holds it hard, so a single egg or a personal steak gets a real crust instead of a pale, steamed finish.

Description
Megachef 5 Inch Round Cast Iron Frying Pan for Indoor and Outdoor Cooking
At a Glance
- Personal-size cast iron skillet with a 5 inch round cooking surface, built for one.
- Pre-seasoned and ready to use with a natural release finish that improves every cook.
- Oven safe to 500F and just as happy on the stovetop, grill, or open campfire.
- Works on every cooktop, including gas, electric, ceramic glass, and induction.
- Backed by a 90 day limited warranty from Megachef.
Some jobs do not need a big pan. The Megachef 5 Inch Round Cast Iron Frying Pan is the little workhorse you reach for when it is a single fried egg, a melted knob of garlic butter, a personal skillet cookie, or a quick side. Heavy cast iron holds heat evenly and hard, so you get a real sear in a pan that fits one burner corner or rides along to the campsite.
Key Features
- True cast iron heat: a solid iron body soaks up heat and holds it, delivering an even sear and crust that thin nonstick pans cannot match.
- Pre-seasoned finish: arrives seasoned and ready to cook, and the surface only grows slicker the more you use it.
- Individual-portion size: the 5 inch surface is perfect for one egg, a single serving of hash, sauces, or a personal dessert.
- Indoor to outdoor range: move it from the oven to the stovetop to a charcoal grill or campfire without a second thought.
- Every-cooktop compatible: the ferrous iron body works on gas, electric, ceramic glass, and induction ranges.
- Oven safe to 500F: finish a frittata or cornbread under high heat, then bring it straight to the table.
- Compact and packable: at roughly 1.2 pounds and under 7 inches long, it stows in a camp box or a small cabinet.
Before You Buy
We would rather you know this now than after it arrives.
- This is a one-person pan. The 5 inch surface handles a single serving. If you are cooking for the family, size up to a larger skillet.
- Hand wash only, then re-oil. Wash with warm water, dry it completely, and wipe on a thin coat of oil. It is not dishwasher safe, and long soaks in soapy water strip the seasoning.
- All of it gets hot. Cast iron conducts heat through the handle too. Always use a mitt, pot holder, or handle cover.
- Heavy for its footprint. Solid iron is dense, so this little pan carries real weight for its size.

Frequently Asked Questions▼
Do I need to season it before the first use? No. It ships pre-seasoned and ready to cook. A quick rinse, dry, and light oiling before the first meal is all it needs.
Can I use it on an induction cooktop? Yes. Cast iron is naturally magnetic, so it works on induction along with gas, electric, and ceramic glass ranges.
How many servings does it cook? One. The 5 inch surface is sized for a single egg, a personal side, or an individual dessert, not a family portion.
Is it dishwasher safe? No. Hand wash with warm water, dry it completely, and wipe on a thin layer of oil to protect the seasoning.
Care & Use▼
Rinse with warm water and a soft brush or sponge while the pan is still warm. Skip long soapy soaks and the dishwasher, both of which strip the seasoning. Dry the pan completely, ideally over low heat, then wipe on a thin coat of cooking oil before storing. If food ever begins to stick or the surface looks dull, re-season by baking a thin oil coat on at high heat. Store in a dry spot.
