Is this skillet size good for making omelets in (3 eggs), or should I look for an 8" pan?

For me it's a bit hard due to the weight but the size should not be a problem

It's perfect for 3 eggs!!! That's actually why I got this for my boyfriend- always 3 eggs. I'd say you'll be happy with this

This skillet is the right size for cooking a 3 egg omelette, but make sure that you properly grease this skillet when cooking eggs because it is not a "non-stick" pan!

the sides are very steep and the bottom only about 3 inches in diameter, so not a great omelet pan...a great stir fry pan, but wouldn't think a great omelet solution.

No I use it in a 10" pan a lot and it's fine. It's great for flipping in a small pan because you can lift the omelet completely out of the pan to turn it over.

No - it is an 8" pan and I love it........use it all the time and quite possibly, it is the easiest pan to clean I have ever used. Weight is perfect for me. The heat is even so I can prepare my breakfast sausage patties every morning quickly. If you buy and of these products, I will bet you will love it/them too.

Please disregard my last comment. It was the 14" pan that warped. The 8" is fine.

Yes it is. It's the same shape as the 8-inch pan which is my goto omlet pan. Just the right size for a single serving omlet.

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.

I usually use an 8"x 8" pan. You can also use a 9"x 9" and just reduce the cooking time. This is a "no-fail" mix! Good luck!

The Farberware lid I bought was an 8" lid and doesn't fit any of my 8" skillets, saute or omelet pans. I don't knowabout a 12" lid fitting a cast iron skillet, but I wouldn't order one online. I'd take my skillet to a "brick and mortar" store and tryout the lids.

I returned it because it did NOT do eggs without sticking. I did buy this pan Vollrath Z4012 Wear-Ever Aluminum Fry Pan with CeramiGuard II Non-Stick Coating, 12-Inch and I love it!!!

The 8" skillet is 1-1/2" deep. It is my favorite small skillet and I actually just purchased a full set of pots and pans from Cuisinart because the quality is equivalent, but cheaper, than my All-Clad set.

I bought both the 8" and 9" rounds. I had to trim both sizes to fit, so the 8" should work on 8.5" pans.

I never did eggs or omelets in this pan. I have sauteed various foods and if enough oil or butter is used it doesn't stick. Even if something does stick, it cleans up very easily. I will say it is a pretty hefty pan and hard for me to lift but I'm 72 and have arthritis so for anyone without any health issues this would not be a problem. All in all, pretty satisfied.

This pan is very good for many applications,but I would go with a non-stick skillet for eggs. I highly recommend the T-fal Professional Non-Stick Fry Pan, 12.5 inches for eggs as well as for any cooking where a non-stick surface is required.

The cooking surface is 6.25" x 6.25". My 8" skillet fits perfectly. Ditto for the 2qt saucepan I use. I don't think anything larger than the footprint of a 10" skillet would be feasible. Anything with the footprint of an 8" skillet or smaller would be the way to go/ideal.

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.

The 13" is a great pan, but I would recommend a smaller one for an 8" burner.
