Is this pan large enough to make a grilled cheese sandwich?

Not a traditional one. If you cut your sandwich with a biscuit cutter it would work.

No, it's a bit too small for that, an egg fills the pan, but is not cramped. Wouldn't a mini-square one the size a bread slice be nice?

Pan is very small. Not big enough for grilled cheese sandwich to fit. I use it to cook one egg that fits on a english muffin.

Barely and only if the bread is a perfect square. The corners of the bread would have to curve up with the curve of the pan. Even for eggs I find it easier (and much less messy) to crack 2 eggs into a measuring cup and then pour the eggs into the pan. The 2 eggs turn out perfectly. You probably would be happier with a larger pan. I still love this pan for eggs. I hope this has been helpful.

If you are using a english muffin. But it really is only set up for one person. To fry a single egg. It does a great job.

I probably would not. This is an expensive pie pan to use for that purpose. Buy those cheap throw-away aluminum pans for the grill

Absolutely. This is the best pan I've ever owned. Previous cheap pans warped, but this one is worth every penny.

I just measured, using a slice of bread, and you can get (snugly with no space in between sandwiches) 12 sandwiches. BUT, like anything, doing too many at once may not work. You could DEFINITELY fit 8, feed half the group you make food for and then make 8 more. It also comes with a really neat little instruction book that tells you what temperature to cook certain food at. Grilled Sandwiches get cooked at 325-350 degrees for 5-10 minutes. The griddle is 22 inches long and can accommodate a lot of food at once.

Haven't tried that one, but I would bet you can. Cooked alot of stuff on a similar model when in college, just never did grilled cheese!

Yes. This is a wonderful pan. We've used it several times already and it's great.

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!

No, 13" is too large, the maximum width pan that would fit is about 11.5". Depth is 12".

Absolutely! I love my pan. It doesn't begin to have the weight of cast iron. I do, however, even though I have seasoned the pan... use Pam before making crepes. I just wish it was larger.

I specifically purchased mine with the flat surface so I could use it as an everyday frying pan for eggs and such. I also love to use this pan for baking corn bread, so a grill pan bottom would not have worked for me.

Yes, both plates have a ridged surface and a flat surface (depending on which side you have the plates facing) so if you want the grilled ridge marks on your sandwich, it will work for that.

Yes, it works fine. I regularly use it as a press in a large flat-bottomed pan if I'm cooking bacon or toasted cheese sandwiches. If you want to get the grill marks on both sides of a sandwich, it does work best if you preheat it in a grill pan.

Honestly....I use it to make 2 over easy eggs...for which it is perfect....keeps the eggs fromfalling all over the pan because of its size..But I think it would be great for grilling white or whole wheat bread grilling....A little tight but it will fit....

I have made many grilled cheese sandwiches with it, along with Ruebens and other hot sandwiches. Just make sure you adjust the spacer or it will smash your sandwich.

I use the loaf pan to smoke cheese and it makes 4.5 in long 2.5 in wide little bocks of cheese. Depth or thickness depends how tall the cheese is when I put in pan...

I fill a large size tin foil bread pan of food to warm stuff up in it and it fits. Great size for food for 1 or 2.

We use a 10" pan generally. On ours the top and sides come off and we can and do put on a larger pan/DO.A lot of times we will just put a pan on the grill and it works well. I think the maximum size would be a 12" pan/DO.
