The 5" GreenPan Review
A while back I cooked a quick and easy egg sandwich using a 5” GreenPan that a friend loaned me. I filmed this quick and dirty using my phone for a camera so I could get some content up on the channel. In that video, I talk about how easy the pan is to use for cooking one egg. I wanted to talk some more time here and cover some of the specs for the pan as well as a detailed review of this pan.

Manufacturer Say…
”A pan doesn't need to be big, just big enough. Our 5" Mini pan is designed to give you the same great GreenPan performance in a tiny package. Whether you fancy eggs, pancakes, or a cheeseburger, this little pan is the perfect fit for the job.” - greeenpan.us
My Verdict
I have been using the GreenPan Mini Ceramic Nonstick 5" Round Frypan for a while now, I never gave it back to my friend who loaned it to me. I am fairly impressed with this little guy. The pan heats up evenly and quickly, and the food does not stick to the surface. I have made many one-egg sandwiches, tiny pancakes, and even re-heated some rice in it and everything has turned out perfectly. The pan is also easy to clean, and I have been able to get it clean with just a little soap and water. You can throw it in the dishwasher, but I normally try and put some bigger things that take a little more time to hand wash in there.
Overall, I like the GreenPan Mini Ceramic Nonstick 5" Round Frypan. It is a great little pan that is perfect for making small meals. I would definitely recommend it despite its size. I’m going to give it a 4 out of 5.
