cast iron skillet without long handle

eggo

Where can I find a 14" or 15" CI skillet to use on my LGBE? Need one with small handles on side, no long handle. I found a 20" but that is too big.

Find what one you like and then shorten the handle. Cast iron cuts like butter using a hack saw or an angle grinder.

Lodge makes a 17" one with small handles.  That's prob too big for a Large grate.  I think most people buy a skillet and cut the handle off with an angle grinder.  You could also just use a cast iron dutch oven which would still give you a handle to use.

Only other thing I can think of is to scour Ebay for some vintage piece that fits your needs.  That vintage iron is better anyways IMO.  Much smoother than the new stuff.

I was going to say like @RRP said, cut the handle off.  I know they used to make them with 2 short handle at one time, but not any more.  I use a 12" with a long handle on my XL.  15" is a big CI Skillet.

what your looking for is usually called a braiser, but most are enamelled

Not bad for $70.

Cabela's has some with smaller loop handles in various sizes.

Correction- if you look at product research it is only the 16 inch and the 20 inch that have 2 loop handles.  I bet the 16 inch would be perfect, but it is out of stock. 

FYI - the 17" lodge is too big for the large with the handles.  The lid won't quite close.  You can cut off a bit of the handles.

Thanks for steering me to Cabela's. I found they did have a 14" in the outfitter series. I feel the 16" would be too large. The 14" is ordered and on the way.
Thanks again.

The Lodge CI pizza pan is 14" and has side handles that make it 16".

Does this interest you?  Send me a PM if it does.

If you have the room on the Egg, it might be best to leave a short stub of the handle to make it easier/safer to move the pan when using gloves or potholders.

Bumping this old thread rather than start a new one. Any options out there that fit a large without having to cut the handles?

I cut the handle off a Lodge 15" skillet, but if you don't want to mess with the handle BGE has what you seek

@mummer43   Fair question for sure, but I'd suggest finding the pan you want without worrying about cutting the handle.  You can cut off a handle and deburr the edges in about 30 seconds.  Angle grinder works the best.  A Dremmel would also work.  You could even go old school with a hacksaw and file.

I like using the skillet lid on the 5qt Lodge Double Dutch oven. It has two D handles and even fits MBGE.

Lodge also makes a 14 or 15 inch like the 17 inch
