We have it for guinea pigs. We built a NIC condo for our rabbit since cages aren't big enough. We let her out to run in the living room with supervision but we don't have a room bunny proofed so she can run anytime. She has a 5x2 three story condo. http://www.rabbitnetwork.org/articles/NIC.shtml has some great pictures of them.

We bought a plastic high corner littler pan and the bunny does a great job...most of the time....going in it. The plastic clips on the pan fit nicely on the plastic bottom of the cage. We use a piece of yarn just to secure it a bit better because our bunny like to lift it out of the corner and dig under it. We actually didn't wind up using the stairs or the second level. At first, we just used one side of the second level so that the litter pan would fit. But our bunny would hide under it too much and not be as social, so we took it away. LOVE that this is on wheels by the way! And it's very big and roomy. Bunny is very happy in it. She is able to hop in and out of the cage easily by herself.

Get a 6 qt you can less in a smaller unit but you cannot cook more in a smaller one

The pans are the weak link of this machine. Do a google search. Last year I found a nice company in the Midwest that supplies all sorts of appliance parts at reasonable prices, including this pan.

Jeanette- I bought the 5 qt. and have made bread as the perfect size for his recipe. The pan is quite heavy and the larger size you are asking about would be to big. I think... Happy baking, his bread is the best!

I have the 4 square cookware by HealthSmart. Purchased one piece from a salesman. Spent the next day experimenting cooking lots of stuff with that one pan. Next night called salesman and ordered more. Absolutely worth the money!

So, the LCS3 (which is currently priced at 22 and some change) is only a 10 inch diameter and has sloped sides measuring only at 1 3/4 in (might be 1 1/4 in I'm going off memory). The LK8S3 is 10.25 diameter and the sides are not sloped they are straight and measure 2 inches high. I just used the LK8S3 this morning for a fritata with eggs, red bell peppers, baby bellas, chopped kale, and sharp cheddar on top. I have a five person family and it is big enough to produce a yummy fritata that will feed us all. I start the meal on the stove top and finish in the oven. I like the high/straight sides of this dish because you could even bake a cake in it or a pot pie etc. I have a pan comparable to the LCS3 but it is smaller in diameter (I think an 8 or 9 in). Pans with a sloped side are great for sauting and performing cooking tasks that require moving the pan around to flip the food about. The LK8S3 is quite heavy so I could only assume the LCS3 "chef's" series skillet might be more pricey because it might be lighter weight for performing tasks that require flicking of the wrists and flipping without compromising the length of the diameter and the quality of the cast iron. Don't quote me on that, the last part is only an assumption. If you want an exact explanation I'm sure someone at Lodge would be happy to assist you. They probably have a contact link on their website. Hopefully I helped, I tried my best. Have a lovely day!

I really like this pan and we use it exclusively for stir fry. It is a great performer but a bit small when cooking for 3 or 4 people. Should work fine for omelette. I purchased the flatter pan for that and it is great. Both pans I purchased work great and are our preferred cookware.

Any size, it depends on what and how long you will be cooking for. I've used it with the smallest size and it cooks for hours.

My old pan which I am trying to replace has a small handle also. That handle makes it much easier to use. If anyone knows where I can buy the skillet with 2 handles I would appreciate that information

I have the 8" and it's about as heavy as I want. I love the pan and use it almost totally for 2 eggs in the morning. I did find that it really heats up HOT so you have to watch things and turn it way down. I do wipe a tiny bit of butter on the pan daily...don't know if it's necessary.I am in the country and only have propane so natural gas would also be fine.

I agree, use the baking pan for chicken breast, otherwise you might have a mess to clean up. Love mine.

This little pan works wonderfully, but is definitely not the quality of my higher end pans. Wash it by hand, not in the dishwasher, and it should last. The non-stick coating will otherwise come off easily. And, be careful not to overfill with water, or you will be hard boiling, not poaching.

I got the small one and happy with it as I only grate enough for one serving at a time...such as fresh ginger for tea .,,,,,,so it you are using a lot that is different but in my opinion this is perfect.the small one gets my vote. Hope this helps.

I suggest go with the EP-RAC50. These pans were well made and worth every dollar you invest. They are easy to use/ care/ clean and I'm pretty sure they are durable, as I've been a loyal customer to Zojirushi's products for almost 20 years and each of their products lasts for a long time. Go with the higher grade and it will meet your need. (Plus you'll get a steaming plate)

Probably nine inch or smaller works best. You can put a twelve inch on it but you will probably have to stir food to get it to cook evenly because it won't heat the edges of the pan.

Yes, this is the one. I bought it on Amazon several years ago. I use it almost every day. It is a fabulous pan!

I'm about to order my third pan in 5 years. The previous two I had lasted approx. 2 years each. I love the smaller size which fits in my toaster oven for baking smaller portions of foods which I don't need to put in a large oven and I use mine a couple of times a week. My previous pans rusted and the non-stick coating cracked but maybe that is because I put the pan in the dishwasher. I suggest to use a non-stick spray at all times because the surface is not like a teflon fry pan. The rack is also nice for roasting a small roast. It won't last a lifetime but for the price I recommend it.
