Cast iron skillet for lbge

Good afternoon all,
What size lodge cast iron skillet (small side handles) do you recommend for LBGE?
Thanks

You could go with just about any size if you use a hacksaw and cut the handle off.

What do you mean by "small side handles"? The bigger skillets have a smaller, helper handle adjacent from the standard handle for carrying.

Some Le Creuset casserole dishes have two smaller handles?

I took a 12" frying pan like this and cut the handle leaving about 3".

A hacksaw makes quick work of it, took me less then 5 minutes.

This is what I did to my 12" Lodge.

my 12" cast iron lodge with handle fits in the large egg just fine. I did cornbread the other day and turned out great. Sauted the corn/jalapenos in bacon fat (in egg) then poured batter right over top. Do you have a small or medium egg, or are you just looking to add more space by cutting off the handle on your large?

Honestly I never even tried to fit it with the handle still on. But I would have cut it for the sole purpose of keeping the footprint down even if it did fit.

tried to find one with a removable handle. they are out there. in fact, the first google hit is for a post from the old forum.

but can't find one on eBay or at Target... [moderate google effort only]
