Individual Serving Stoneware or Cast Iron for BBQ/Baked Beans

Alphonse · January 2015

Looking for options to bake BBQ beans on the grill in individual serving sized dishes. I have found ramekin stoneware (Le Creuset) for example. But I am searching for other options.

When I was a kid, the local BBQ joint served baked beans off the pit which were cooked in individual ceramic pots. They were a big hit and almost every tray that went down the serving line ended up with one on it. I am hoping to try my hand at replicating this and looking for options for the pots.

Thanks for the help.

I'm pretty sure I've seen folks using some kind of Lodge CI individual portion sized dish here. Does it have to be ceramic?

CorningWare has these.

I'm sure the la creuset would get pricey for side bowls. You could get the simple white porcelain ramakins like these:

or maybe crock bowls like they use for french onion soup like these:

Lodge makes a really small skillet I've seen at academy

Look around for some ceramic bowls that work for french onion soup. Some have handles and others do not.

Several other sizes available.

I have several of the lodge individual cast iron bowls that I use to make individual sized smoked mac'n cheese. I known lodge has several different varieties to accomplish what you're trying to do.

Thanks for the feedback folks. They do not have to be ceramic.

Le Creuset has some really nice stackable ramekins (7 oz.) with an appropriate fat price as well. I think 7 oz. may be a touch too small. http://www.amazon.com/Le-Creuset-Stoneware-Stackable-Ramekins/dp/B008JCGHBW/ref=pd_bxgy_k_img_z

I would love some cast iron ones but the Lodge ones in individual serving size I have seen have legs. Legs on them will be a PITA on a grill or pit. I am a very big fan of Lodge. Working on polishing the interior and seasoning a new 12" dutch oven today!

Keep the advice coming.

Nice tip on the French Onion soup bowls. The ones at webstaurant look like a big possibility. They are $27 for a case and would be an appropriate size for individual servings.

Maybe you have some friends that would split a case.

Would these work?

i would do it in a big bean pot and serve in the little ones or the onion bowls. beans cook well in the bean pots like the ones posted by carolinaq, i have those and several really old pots

Fishlessman,

Thanks - yes I cook them in a big pot now. Simply wanted to replicate what Stubby's BBQ served in the 50's and 60's in Hot Springs, Arkansas. They cooked them in a big pot and then put them in small bean pots, topped them with some rib bits and sauce, and put them on the pit. Almost every tray that cam down the line ended up with a pot of beans on it.

the pot shop of boston has 4 ounce pots with covers, 5 ounce no covers, and 16 ounce for single serving
