Breakfast butty mate. There is no food like it for satisfaction value. I am currently on a diet and all I want in the world is a massive sausage bacon, mushroom and egg butty with loads of HP on it. But no, this vegetable soup with no bread is just as good...😒
Huh...went looking for opinions about white pudding being classed as part of an English Breakfast, did not expect to see hit sensation @theslowmoguys just randomly popping up in the comments. I guess once British always British, go'ed lads!
On our second date, my partner brought me a tiny cast iron pan. He'd gone to a vintage/antique shop the day before with the goal of finding "a small thing that shouldn't be so small". He gave me an even smaller one this Christmas, several years later. We watch your videos together every weekend, and the introduction of your tiny pan(s!) was such a delight. 🌈 Thanks for the videos, Mr. Shrimp!
There are deeper mini-skillets sold for campfire cooking, since smaller = lighter. These shallow skillets were designed specifically for baking, where there isn't much stirring or sloshing Dessert is probably going to remain your best bet. Individual apple crumbles with ice cream scooped with a melon-baller would be cute as heck, and dessert is the course most likely to be cute. Then again, mini-pizzas...

I worked in a mine in remote outback Australia for a while, and every morning at 4am it was 'Heavy Industrial' Size Full English Breakfast with every ingredient imaginable and a big strong coffee. It was the best Full English Breakfast I have had anywhere, ever. That mess hall really looked after us. and that's how I got fat.
I have four of these pans (a bargain bin lot a few years ago with the same muffin mix you had). I use them most weeks to fry eggs. A little bit of olive oil in the bottom, heat to a low/medium heat, then crack the eggs in. The trick is to let the whites settle a little before plonking the yolk dead centre. Perfect fried eggs and a perfect shape every time!
I used to have a small skillet (maybe 15cm) bought specially for me to fry eggs, when I was a teen. I could do a pair of eggs in it. I have no idea where it is now, lost in one of my parents movings?
My elderly mother has a sweet little one-egg frying pan that she uses whenever she wants a hot breakfast, as she doesn't really eat much meat these days and the pan is light and cleans up so easily.
I'm not much of a cook myself so maybe you have your reasons but I'll personally never fry an egg in olive oil as it adds a bitter flavour that I don't care for at all. Butter all the way or sunflower oil at a pinch.
@@demonstructie I never used to, but I was in Barcelona, and they were frying eggs in olive oil, and it tasted amazing.

@KingMushroomBoy That's because 'hash browns' are available, frozen, to the catering trade. Using last night's leftover boiled potatoes, in lumps rather than slices, are lovely crisped in bacon fat! Fried bread is traditional, but I prefer slices of floppy bread to mop up the juices from tomatoes, beans, eggs, etc.😋
Another point of disambiguation... or rather, the opposite: I've always been fascinated by what you made and called "eggy in a basket." An egg fried inside of a hole made in bread has a huge number of different names that all refer to it (in the US at least), including: - Bird's eye (what I call it) - Egg in [a/the] basket (most similar to what you called it) - Toad in [a/the] hole (interestingly also the same as the dish you mentioned in an earlier video of sausages cooked in batter) - Egg in [a/the] hole - Eggs in a nest - Bullseye eggs - Gasthaus eggs (meaning "bed and breakfast" or "inn" eggs) - Gashouse eggs (probably a mutation of the previous one) - Hole in one - Eyeball toast (which I heard for the first time from someone else in these comments!) Among many more versions of "[someone's] eye" or "[someone famous who made it] eggs". Apparently Roald Dahl was also very fond of these and called them "hothouse eggs."
Eggy in the Basket. Love how many different names one dish can have. Where I'm from its referred to as Eyeball Toast. Figured I'd share that as I find it thrilling to learn all the different names for foods!
You could try Menemen. It's a Turkish dish that's is basically scrambled eggs with tomatoes, peppers and onions. The seasoning is quite simple and often includes a dash of herbs and a touch of heat from some chopped chili. I sometimes use chopped sun-dried tomatoes for stronger flavour, though that's not traditional. In a Turkish breakfast you often get served several small portions of different dishes cooked in little skillets - eggs and pastrami, Suçuk Yumurta, Menemen, Çilbir,Turkish poached eggs and yogurt with paprika butter.
In the US, and I LOVE black pudding. My dad said he hated it growing up, and his mom made "blood pudding" it all the time. Being from the US, I always imagined it like a red congealed mass of custard-like pudding, kinda like ketchup made of blood... Later in life once I experienced what it actually was... I wish I could find it easily over here. Only know of one restaurant in my entire city that serves it, with a single breakfast item only on weekends, and don't ever see it in stores. 😢
Due to US food laws, I don't believe black pudding can be imported into the US. Haggis can't be either. You'd have to find a producer over there or make your own, which I think might be difficult.
Hello Atomic Shrimp 👋🏻 I was wondering if you’ve ever tried dumpster diving? I know you do lots of foraging & budget shopping challenges, thought it could be a neat idea for a video! It’s legal & some of the things found are astonishing! Thanks for the cool content 💫
As soon as you said you were making a full English sandwich I was instantly transported to my university days, when we were given brunch on Sundays at the canteen of my catered halls, and I used to take about half of my cooked breakfast and make it into a sandwich using two pieces of toast. Half brown always went on a corner, bacon on the rest of the surface sausage halved lengthways so it wouldn't roll around black pudding up a little and to the opposite corner from the hash brown, making a nice enclosed area for a few beans and some mushrooms, then egg on top of all that, and a load of whichever sauce took my fancy. Never a clean thing to eat but toast over bread offered some stability. It's been nearly 8 years but I can still remember the wonderful eating experience like I'd just newly had one.
I love this so much, I think as part of the whole this really emphasises the spirit of creativity and fun that's emblematic of the channel "Sometimes he goes looking for fossils, sometimes he makes a miniature full English breakfast, and a while back he reviewed some phones"
As one who loves a full English breakfast but has an appetite too small to accommodate, that pan looked absolutely perfect. Finally, one I could enjoy without becoming stuffed halfway in. 😍
I love Shrimp's cooking videos. They're just so wholesome. My food tastes are quite different from Mike's but his way of speaking and presenting things just makes me happy
My roommate bought me one of these tiny pans from a secondhand shop some time ago as a novelty. I mentioned if it was deeper, it might actually be useful... and this last Christmas she surprised me with a much better scaled version, deeper. It actually works pretty well! Although you still have the issue of scaling things down to fit it, but it's neat that I can actually use it if I want.
I would love to try “tarte tatin” where you caramelise apples and cover with a pastry topping, then bake in the oven. It’s full sized version is amazing with ice cream. :-)
well the pans might not be very practical, but the dishes you made are really pretty and adorable :) maybe the mini-pans can just become cute wall decor for the kitchen once you've done the upgrades you have planned
I use mine to make an omelette from one egg, brocolli, and mushrooms. They will accommodate two eggs. For a single person, they're perfect for portion sizing as well. No way to make too much of anything LOL. Yes, they would also be cute wall decor, but I prefer kitchen items to be usable and not just dust catchers.
There’s a restaurant in the US called BJ’s Brewhouse that has a dessert called a Pizookie (I think it’s a made up word combo of pizza cookie). It’s a freshly baked cookie with a scoop of ice cream, and the mini version is baked in a similar pan to your mini cast iron. Choices are red velvet, chocolate chip, cookies and cream, peanut butter, strawberry shortcake, monkey bread, salted caramel, brownie.
Hello Mr. Shrimp. I am enjoying your tiny pan journey. I used to have a real tiny cast iron with higher sides that I could fry 2 eggs in perfectly. We had a major flood and it was lost. In America we have an item called a pie iron that makes lovely toasted sandwiches. It is like 2 small skillets hinged together with very long handles so they can be held over a campfire, or your kitchen stove. A piece of buttered bread goes in, butter side down. Then an egg or sliced sausage or cheese, or all three. Another slice of buttered bread on top, then the pie iron is clamped shut. It is heated until the bread is golden brown. Instead, the bread could have sweet items sandwiched inside. So I thought maybe you could use your 2 little pans like a makeshift pie iron. You would put the buttered bread and fillings in the bottom pan, cover with the top piece of bread, and then the top pan. Once the bottom bread seems toasted, grab the handles together very tightly with your oven mit and flip them together. Does that sound reasonable? I hope that made sense.
I use tiny pans for just doing a full sized egg that keep a round shape. Handy for toasting sesame seeds needed for a garnish, when other pans are in use too. Love the tiny dishes and full english sandwich. I've started making okonomiyaki (japanese pancake) as a savoury muffin, so you can have all the flavours on the go.
That breakfast muffin looked amazing with that black pudding patty ❤ I’ve often wondered what it’d be like to make and sell things like that with a little mobile stall and a griddle in the middle of a city centre, like they do in Japan; I think it’d give me great pleasure.
Thanks for another great video, your patience astounds me, do you do it just for us or your own entertainment ? I would hope you do things that spark joy in yourself and take us with you , the passion and enthusiasm you have for the eclectic array of topics you’re interested in is what I find fascinating about your channel and keeps me coming back for more. All the best Jules
Your comments about the very small pan are why I didn't buy the American version at a deep discount. I'm actually glad you came to the same conclusion. I would have felt like I missed out if I had skipped it and you liked the pan. I prefer one standard cast iron skillet for cooking breakfast, rather than having a "set" of skillets of various sizes. A lot of what I have learned about cooking has come from your channel. I had watched many cooking shows in the past and, unfortunately, most of the TV cooking shows represent people showing off how many ingredients they can use or how sophisticated they can be. It is good to see practical cooking in an impractical pan. Toasting spices or heating up a small amount of butter or fat to be used in a dish might be the only uses for such a small pan. You can use the second pan turned over as a lid for the first pan.
Genius. Skillets would look nice for "serving" (not cooking) side dishes when you do a curry for friends and family. A Balti is in fact the name of skillet used to cook the dish.
That full English breakfast was very funny to watch! I also appreciate the bean recipe as I don't have the family recipe and I wanted to find something really simple, can't get much simpler than yours.
Thank you for this inspiration and recipe. I have been very enjoying to try and making new recipes and this one is really amazing. The way you present it also has some unique and artistic approaches. So tank you for taking the time to create a video for us to watch and get inspired. All the best to you :)
Uncle shrimp! I absolutely love the idea of using these little pans for smaller breakfasts for the kids! You can freeze a raw egg, peel and slice it to make teeny fried eggs!
Wow, that was so absorbing. I watched it with all the relish of someone who intends to follow the recipes 😂 Seriously, though, Mike, I really appreciate your dedication to producing videos that will delight all our senses and be a compensation for ‘real life’, if we happen to be housebound. (Which I am) The little skillets have made a wonderful little memory for us all. And I’m really looking forward to whatever you do with your kitchen, because I know you won’t just throw away everything and put in a generic grey and stainless steel kitchen! I honestly don’t know how you’ve found time to continue with the videos while you’ve been moving, but a big thank you to you and the wonderful Jenny for keeping us all company while you persevere with settling in to ‘New Shrimp Cottage’. Thanks a billion 🎉
I would be happy with any three of those meals of course. Fried and breakfast together just fills me with joy, fond memories of my mom making them, my dad attempting to make them, popping into a workmans cafe with my uncle while labouring, making them in a student house to excess after a heavy night on the sesh, traveling the world and indulging in hotel versions, and more recently cycling between a few cafes every weekend. If there was a meal I had to eat for the rest of my life, it would be fried breakfast.
These are brilliant ideas. Thank you for your lovely content. How about doing something like a raclette? You could use your wood burner as a stove to gently melt cheeses and have them with crackers or bread and pickles, chutneys etc on a cold winters evening?
I thought those were quirkily brilliant ideas. They made me hungry. I've only had a full English breakfast one time, in 1986 in Harrogate, when I splurged on a nice room at a bed and breakfast. Seeing this took me right back there. I enjoyed that memory! The only thing I don't remember ever tasting is brown sauce. Where I live it gets unGodly hot. There's no air conditioning here, and we cook on well used inherited cast iron skillets. In Summer there are always times I've had to heat up even a small skillet for something small, and would rather have used a mini,. At the moment I just can't think of what small quantity of stuff I would be needing it for, besides toasting sesame seeds or spices. It'll come to me the next time I wish I didn't have to heat up a whole iron skillet.
At the outset I just knew the fun would end at the idea, but it's still sort of fun to express a fun idea, no? Incidentally, I just did a custard and pudding tasting video on my channel and cited the standard Atomic Shrimp pudding disambiguation slide! 😂
Lovely breakfast ideas there, but I know how I would use that mini-pan… I’d just use it to fry my eggs which I like to do on a small, clean pan while all the other items go on my large pan in order of cooking time. Then everything is ready (and hot) all at once and I’ve just enough time to make my tea while my eggs are frying! I have to have a clean pan for fried eggs and in a small one they keep their shape beautifully! 😋
You could try having a pancake battle! English pancake Vs Crepe Vs American buttermilk pancakes! Would be enjoyable seeing if you can do the traditional flip in those tiny pans
Educational, as always. Especially the disambiguation 😅 Honestly, it really looks good, and now I'm really peckish. As does the muffin! I learned the egg in a basket method when camping in Australia. It's the only way to make a nice brekkie on the barbie. The gas fired ones you find everywhere slope towards a central hole to dispose of fat and residue.
I feel vindicated that frying bread in bacon fat is an actual thing. My friends and family act like I'm insane for frying bread in the fat after I make bacon.
Hi Kitchen Shrimp! This is so weird, I just watched Post10’s latest video on his second channel - New England Wildlife and More - where he cooks breakfast on a miniature stove using teeny-tiny cast iron pans. What are the odds of watching two tiny breakfast videos in one day?! Ps. Post10 is also one my favourite RUclipsrs. Here is said video: ruclips.net/video/sb0M4jvRbUo/видео.html
Hi AtomicShrimp, I just watched your video and was struck by the peaceful and relaxing atmosphere you created in the kitchen despite the terrible weather outside that we're having. The sound of the howling wind infact only added to the cozy and inviting vibe of the video. Your passion for cooking and attention to detail shone through and made the video a joy to watch. Thank you for sharing your talent with us and I hope to see more of your videos in the future, from Martin Tucker
My American friends point out that having beans is a weird addition to breakfast, the more I think about it the more think they have a point. I think this should turn into a series, looking at breakfast around the world.
Those seem ideal for making some spiced oil that you can add to other things! Useful for stuff like chili ramen, indian lemon rice, or a dahl. Just toast up the spices in some oil and then add it to the larger pot of whatever you’re making
I got about the same sized skillet and use it a lot when camping in the minivan on my own. Fits nicely on the small gas stove I have. It has two hobs, and this pan is small enough to allow a pot to cook next to it at the same time. It also doesn't take up much space when stashed away. I only need to bake one thing in it at a time (one sausage, one steak, one burger, ...), so it's perfectly sized for that.
Thank you, that was so much fun to watch. Even though the idea was the best part for you the entire video was good for us. I was getting hungry watching you. I'm going to make a breakfast later and I'll take inspiration from this.
That little pan may not have been fun for you to cook in, but I had great fun watching you give it a try. Thanks for the video. I'm not sure why little versions of big things are so much fun but I love that little pan.
My dad has a set of 3 pans exactly like you described, about that size, but much deeper. They're meant for doing single servings of stuff and serving it in the pan. He also has a couple that are the same but square for when you want to serve something in a tiny skillet, but are tired of circles.
My suggestion is to use these pans for cooking at the table, like a raclette grill. You need a grill on the table of course, together with a wide choice of ingredients (cheese, cooked meats, raw veg etc). Then you pick and choose what you want as a combo and cook it through. Once on the plate, you set yourself up another one, and eat the first one while the second one is cooking. Overall this is probably more fun with at least four of these pans. Oh, and next time, make some tea in a flask! keep up the good work!
Like Marcel Duchamp and the Dadaists, I find high art in the repurposing of the mundane and the everyday. And that includes cute little novelty-items like these tiny cast-iron pans which were clearly meant for some kind of cookie-presentation.
This is one of those channels I often forget I'm subscribed to for months on end, and then I happen upon another video of yours and find myself spending hours and hours rewatching your content. I love videos like these every bit as much as the scambaiting, too -- sometimes even more!
I got a 4-pack of these some years ago which came with a cookie dough mix. I later made my own dough and had issues with the cookies spreading over the edges during the baking process. You could try the same thing while being careful as to how much dough you put in the pan to allow for spreading.
I still reckon my mini cornbread idea would be cracking addition to any homemade soup or stew. Thank you for another really entertaining and fun video.
After the first part i thought "ok next video tomorrow... nope. it was just the second part!AND THERE WAS ATHIRD PART! other creators would have made a mini series out of it, andd you just made good proper content out of it. love it! and full english breakfast too
I think this would work wonderfully as a little mini two egg ham and cheese omelette pan. You could even use the other pan upside down on top of it to help cook it through.
Brilliant. RUclips cook, Barry Lewis, used to make miniscule meals, that had to fit on doll's crockery. He also, with a mate of his, used to create vast versions of things, too. A fun watch.
Main reason I bought one of those mini pans was camping trips on my bike. These are really nice on a little portable gas cartridge.. cooker..thingy (whatever those are called in english), but also work on a small open fire, if you can safely make one wherever you are. And it's much less risky than a mini teflon coated pan which could easily get too hot (toxic) or have the coating physically damaged and bits of it end up in your food
The pans might not have been a success, but as someone who is currently working on portion control it was neat to see these smaller versions of the food! The shakshuka in particular looked very good and something I may try if I ever get a pan of similar size. Thank you Mr Shrimp!
Sandwich is a great idea - here in Ireland we put a full Irish into a baguette and call it a breakfast roll. Pudding, sausage, and rashers are of course going to be there, but some opt for eggs, beans, hash browns, mushrooms, et al. Absolutely delicious.
I got the same little pan for Christmas I'm in the USA. While the little pan is getting hot I put an English muffin in the toaster. then I cook an egg with the little pan it's the perfect size for an egg. I put a slice of cheddar cheese on the egg then slap that on the English muffin with a little bit of strawberry jam. The little pain is so easy to clean . I usually just wipe it off with a damp towel. I really like the little pan.
I'm so glad I was eating my dinner while watching this video. It all looked delicious? I wonder if making tiny crepes in the pan would work. Or, if you've got a fire extinguisher handy, crepe suzette.

Another point of disambiguation... or rather, the opposite: I've always been fascinated by what you made and called "eggy in a basket." An egg fried inside of a hole made in bread has a huge number of different names that all refer to it (in the US at least), including:
- Bird's eye (what I call it)
- Egg in [a/the] basket (most similar to what you called it)
- Toad in [a/the] hole (interestingly also the same as the dish you mentioned in an earlier video of sausages cooked in batter)
- Egg in [a/the] hole
- Eggs in a nest
- Bullseye eggs
- Gasthaus eggs (meaning "bed and breakfast" or "inn" eggs)
- Gashouse eggs (probably a mutation of the previous one)
- Hole in one
- Eyeball toast (which I heard for the first time from someone else in these comments!)
Among many more versions of "[someone's] eye" or "[someone famous who made it] eggs". Apparently Roald Dahl was also very fond of these and called them "hothouse eggs."

Later in life once I experienced what it actually was... I wish I could find it easily over here.
Only know of one restaurant in my entire city that serves it, with a single breakfast item only on weekends, and don't ever see it in stores. 😢
sounds like you gotta learn to make your own then! haha
Even Aldi sell it here, But farm shop versions are best.
Due to US food laws, I don't believe black pudding can be imported into the US. Haggis can't be either. You'd have to find a producer over there or make your own, which I think might be difficult.
maybe ask the resturant where they get it from?
@@ricos1497 It's not difficult at all, I make my countrys version of it quite often.
Hello Atomic Shrimp 👋🏻 I was wondering if you’ve ever tried dumpster diving? I know you do lots of foraging & budget shopping challenges, thought it could be a neat idea for a video! It’s legal & some of the things found are astonishing! Thanks for the cool content 💫
As soon as you said you were making a full English sandwich I was instantly transported to my university days, when we were given brunch on Sundays at the canteen of my catered halls, and I used to take about half of my cooked breakfast and make it into a sandwich using two pieces of toast. Half brown always went on a corner, bacon on the rest of the surface sausage halved lengthways so it wouldn't roll around black pudding up a little and to the opposite corner from the hash brown, making a nice enclosed area for a few beans and some mushrooms, then egg on top of all that, and a load of whichever sauce took my fancy. Never a clean thing to eat but toast over bread offered some stability. It's been nearly 8 years but I can still remember the wonderful eating experience like I'd just newly had one.
I love this so much, I think as part of the whole this really emphasises the spirit of creativity and fun that's emblematic of the channel
"Sometimes he goes looking for fossils, sometimes he makes a miniature full English breakfast, and a while back he reviewed some phones"
As one who loves a full English breakfast but has an appetite too small to accommodate, that pan looked absolutely perfect. Finally, one I could enjoy without becoming stuffed halfway in. 😍
I love Shrimp's cooking videos. They're just so wholesome. My food tastes are quite different from Mike's but his way of speaking and presenting things just makes me happy
My roommate bought me one of these tiny pans from a secondhand shop some time ago as a novelty. I mentioned if it was deeper, it might actually be useful... and this last Christmas she surprised me with a much better scaled version, deeper. It actually works pretty well! Although you still have the issue of scaling things down to fit it, but it's neat that I can actually use it if I want.
I would love to try “tarte tatin” where you caramelise apples and cover with a pastry topping, then bake in the oven.
It’s full sized version is amazing with ice cream. :-)
Better still with crème chantilly to offset the sweetness of the tarte Tatin.
I think that's an amazing suggestion!
well the pans might not be very practical, but the dishes you made are really pretty and adorable :) maybe the mini-pans can just become cute wall decor for the kitchen once you've done the upgrades you have planned
I use mine to make an omelette from one egg, brocolli, and mushrooms. They will accommodate two eggs. For a single person, they're perfect for portion sizing as well. No way to make too much of anything LOL. Yes, they would also be cute wall decor, but I prefer kitchen items to be usable and not just dust catchers.
'This sandwich is too tall to take a proper bite out of'
Then takes a bite for the history books, neatly cleaving each layer of the sandwich.
😂I thought the exact same!
There’s a restaurant in the US called BJ’s Brewhouse that has a dessert called a Pizookie (I think it’s a made up word combo of pizza cookie). It’s a freshly baked cookie with a scoop of ice cream, and the mini version is baked in a similar pan to your mini cast iron. Choices are red velvet, chocolate chip, cookies and cream, peanut butter, strawberry shortcake, monkey bread, salted caramel, brownie.
Hello Mr. Shrimp. I am enjoying your tiny pan journey. I used to have a real tiny cast iron with higher sides that I could fry 2 eggs in perfectly. We had a major flood and it was lost.
In America we have an item called a pie iron that makes lovely toasted sandwiches. It is like 2 small skillets hinged together with very long handles so they can be held over a campfire, or your kitchen stove. A piece of buttered bread goes in, butter side down. Then an egg or sliced sausage or cheese, or all three.
Another slice of buttered bread on top, then the pie iron is clamped shut. It is heated until the bread is golden brown. Instead, the bread could have sweet items sandwiched inside.
So I thought maybe you could use your 2 little pans like a makeshift pie iron. You would put the buttered bread and fillings in the bottom pan, cover with the top piece of bread, and then the top pan. Once the bottom bread seems toasted, grab the handles together very tightly with your oven mit and flip them together.
Does that sound reasonable? I hope that made sense.
I use tiny pans for just doing a full sized egg that keep a round shape. Handy for toasting sesame seeds needed for a garnish, when other pans are in use too.
Love the tiny dishes and full english sandwich. I've started making okonomiyaki (japanese pancake) as a savoury muffin, so you can have all the flavours on the go.
I was thinking the same thing. Those pans would make the perfect sized fried egg to use on an English muffin for a fried egg sandwich!
Nothing is more satisfying than a perfectly round fried egg from a tiny saucepan
Now thinking of martial art okonomiyaki-making from Ranma 1/2...
Your voice is so soothing and your videos are a class of their own !
That breakfast muffin looked amazing with that black pudding patty ❤ I’ve often wondered what it’d be like to make and sell things like that with a little mobile stall and a griddle in the middle of a city centre, like they do in Japan; I think it’d give me great pleasure.
Thanks for another great video, your patience astounds me, do you do it just for us or your own entertainment ? I would hope you do things that spark joy in yourself and take us with you , the passion and enthusiasm you have for the eclectic array of topics you’re interested in is what I find fascinating about your channel and keeps me coming back for more.
All the best Jules
I’ve got a tiny pan. Only use it to fry a single egg when I fancy one. Feels better for washing up
Absolutely love the tiny pan. As a child, I loved cooking tiny meals over a bunsen burner. :)
Brown beans is the most common beans in Nigeria
Beans are awesome! But then again, so are you!
Your comments about the very small pan are why I didn't buy the American version at a deep discount. I'm actually glad you came to the same conclusion. I would have felt like I missed out if I had skipped it and you liked the pan. I prefer one standard cast iron skillet for cooking breakfast, rather than having a "set" of skillets of various sizes. A lot of what I have learned about cooking has come from your channel. I had watched many cooking shows in the past and, unfortunately, most of the TV cooking shows represent people showing off how many ingredients they can use or how sophisticated they can be. It is good to see practical cooking in an impractical pan. Toasting spices or heating up a small amount of butter or fat to be used in a dish might be the only uses for such a small pan. You can use the second pan turned over as a lid for the first pan.
Genius. Skillets would look nice for "serving" (not cooking) side dishes when you do a curry for friends and family. A Balti is in fact the name of skillet used to cook the dish.
That full English breakfast was very funny to watch! I also appreciate the bean recipe as I don't have the family recipe and I wanted to find something really simple, can't get much simpler than yours.
Thank you for this inspiration and recipe. I have been very enjoying to try and making new recipes and this one is really amazing. The way you present it also has some unique and artistic approaches. So tank you for taking the time to create a video for us to watch and get inspired. All the best to you :)
Uncle shrimp! I absolutely love the idea of using these little pans for smaller breakfasts for the kids! You can freeze a raw egg, peel and slice it to make teeny fried eggs!
@StevenTuke6983, Freezing an egg is an intriguing idea. When does the shell come off, before or after freezing?
@@fredericapanon207 After, that way the egg can be sliced into small round fried eggs
@@steventuke6983 All right. Does the shell come off fairly easily when the egg is frozen? Or is some special technique needed?
Wow, that was so absorbing. I watched it with all the relish of someone who intends to follow the recipes 😂
Seriously, though, Mike, I really appreciate your dedication to producing videos that will delight all our senses and be a compensation for ‘real life’, if we happen to be housebound. (Which I am)
The little skillets have made a wonderful little memory for us all. And I’m really looking forward to whatever you do with your kitchen, because I know you won’t just throw away everything and put in a generic grey and stainless steel kitchen!
I honestly don’t know how you’ve found time to continue with the videos while you’ve been moving, but a big thank you to you and the wonderful Jenny for keeping us all company while you persevere with settling in to ‘New Shrimp Cottage’.
Thanks a billion 🎉
Would this be considered a half full English breakfast!! 😂
More like quarter-full English.
A mere fraction of a full breakfast XD Barely enough for a mouse lmao
I would be happy with any three of those meals of course. Fried and breakfast together just fills me with joy, fond memories of my mom making them, my dad attempting to make them, popping into a workmans cafe with my uncle while labouring, making them in a student house to excess after a heavy night on the sesh, traveling the world and indulging in hotel versions, and more recently cycling between a few cafes every weekend. If there was a meal I had to eat for the rest of my life, it would be fried breakfast.
That muffin looks amazing. Nice work. Love your channel.
These are brilliant ideas. Thank you for your lovely content. How about doing something like a raclette? You could use your wood burner as a stove to gently melt cheeses and have them with crackers or bread and pickles, chutneys etc on a cold winters evening?
This has been absolutely, the fun-est sized episode :3 Thank you for sharing your time!
Edit: that one sexy muffin! made me so hungry.
I thought those were quirkily brilliant ideas. They made me hungry. I've only had a full English breakfast one time, in 1986 in Harrogate, when I splurged on a nice room at a bed and breakfast. Seeing this took me right back there. I enjoyed that memory! The only thing I don't remember ever tasting is brown sauce. Where I live it gets unGodly hot. There's no air conditioning here, and we cook on well used inherited cast iron skillets. In Summer there are always times I've had to heat up even a small skillet for something small, and would rather have used a mini,. At the moment I just can't think of what small quantity of stuff I would be needing it for, besides toasting sesame seeds or spices. It'll come to me the next time I wish I didn't have to heat up a whole iron skillet.
This was fantastic and thank you for sharing this with us ❤
Thank you for explaining what a chipolata sausage is. It's what we call a "breakfast sausage" here in Canada.
At the outset I just knew the fun would end at the idea, but it's still sort of fun to express a fun idea, no? Incidentally, I just did a custard and pudding tasting video on my channel and cited the standard Atomic Shrimp pudding disambiguation slide! 😂
This is one of my favorite videos you have ever done. Simply fascinating and enjoyable :).
I'd love to try mushrooms someday
That's really interesting Babatunde, do you not get mushrooms in Nigeria?
Posted just as I sat down for a morning coffee. Perfection. Thank you 🙂
The Full-English muffin is a culinary masterpiece 😗👌🏻 thanks for another brilliant video Mike!
Lovely breakfast ideas there, but I know how I would use that mini-pan… I’d just use it to fry my eggs which I like to do on a small, clean pan while all the other items go on my large pan in order of cooking time. Then everything is ready (and hot) all at once and I’ve just enough time to make my tea while my eggs are frying! I have to have a clean pan for fried eggs and in a small one they keep their shape beautifully! 😋
You could try having a pancake battle! English pancake Vs Crepe Vs American buttermilk pancakes! Would be enjoyable seeing if you can do the traditional flip in those tiny pans
Educational, as always. Especially the disambiguation 😅
Honestly, it really looks good, and now I'm really peckish. As does the muffin! I learned the egg in a basket method when camping in Australia. It's the only way to make a nice brekkie on the barbie. The gas fired ones you find everywhere slope towards a central hole to dispose of fat and residue.
Did you see the recent Adam Ragusea video on the origin of the word pudding, really interesting.
I think the video was more "fun" than the breakfast. Thank you for indulging a little silliness and making me hungry on a Sunday morning!
I feel vindicated that frying bread in bacon fat is an actual thing. My friends and family act like I'm insane for frying bread in the fat after I make bacon.
Oh my goodness,that breakfast muffin is absolutely inspired
Hi Kitchen Shrimp! This is so weird, I just watched Post10’s latest video on his second channel - New England Wildlife and More - where he cooks breakfast on a miniature stove using teeny-tiny cast iron pans. What are the odds of watching two tiny breakfast videos in one day?! Ps. Post10 is also one my favourite RUclipsrs. Here is said video: ruclips.net/video/sb0M4jvRbUo/видео.html
Hi AtomicShrimp, I just watched your video and was struck by the peaceful and relaxing atmosphere you created in the kitchen despite the terrible weather outside that we're having. The sound of the howling wind infact only added to the cozy and inviting vibe of the video. Your passion for cooking and attention to detail shone through and made the video a joy to watch. Thank you for sharing your talent with us and I hope to see more of your videos in the future, from Martin Tucker
This is one of the most idiotic yet wonderful thing's you've done. Excellent!
That said I could cook a solo breakfast for myself on it. I am a light eater.
I see it as fun rather than idiotic
@@AlissaSss23 I mean idiotic in the best sense. Some of the funnest things in life are completely idiotic.
This was a very fun idea and I enjoyed seeing the silly solutions to make things smaller.
My American friends point out that having beans is a weird addition to breakfast, the more I think about it the more think they have a point. I think this should turn into a series, looking at breakfast around the world.
They go very well with bacon eggs and toast
They are confused at the idea of beans on toast, too....until they try it 🤔😍
They’re mostly used to either sweet things or plain porridge for breakfast arent they
In Canada adding beans to bacon, eggs, hash browns makes it a Cowboy Breakfast.
Love it Atomic Shrimp, great content. Been watching for years. Good stuff!
Those seem ideal for making some spiced oil that you can add to other things! Useful for stuff like chili ramen, indian lemon rice, or a dahl.
Just toast up the spices in some oil and then add it to the larger pot of whatever you’re making
I got about the same sized skillet and use it a lot when camping in the minivan on my own. Fits nicely on the small gas stove I have. It has two hobs, and this pan is small enough to allow a pot to cook next to it at the same time. It also doesn't take up much space when stashed away. I only need to bake one thing in it at a time (one sausage, one steak, one burger, ...), so it's perfectly sized for that.
Thank you, that was so much fun to watch. Even though the idea was the best part for you the entire video was good for us. I was getting hungry watching you. I'm going to make a breakfast later and I'll take inspiration from this.
Something very cosy and nice about this video, much appreciated. Big fan for a while
Excellent. I was seriously waiting for this episode since the brownie.... I kind of thought it would be useless, but it certainly looked cool!!
That little pan may not have been fun for you to cook in, but I had great fun watching you give it a try. Thanks for the video. I'm not sure why little versions of big things are so much fun but I love that little pan.
Oh boy, I do love it when the pudding disambiguation panel flashes up.
My dad has a set of 3 pans exactly like you described, about that size, but much deeper. They're meant for doing single servings of stuff and serving it in the pan. He also has a couple that are the same but square for when you want to serve something in a tiny skillet, but are tired of circles.
I was just today wondering what I could do in my tiny square skillet and now you've given me the answer - anything, once I get tired of circles :-)
My suggestion is to use these pans for cooking at the table, like a raclette grill. You need a grill on the table of course, together with a wide choice of ingredients (cheese, cooked meats, raw veg etc). Then you pick and choose what you want as a combo and cook it through. Once on the plate, you set yourself up another one, and eat the first one while the second one is cooking. Overall this is probably more fun with at least four of these pans.
Oh, and next time, make some tea in a flask! keep up the good work!
Like Marcel Duchamp and the Dadaists, I find high art in the repurposing of the mundane and the everyday. And that includes cute little novelty-items like these tiny cast-iron pans which were clearly meant for some kind of cookie-presentation.
This is one of those channels I often forget I'm subscribed to for months on end, and then I happen upon another video of yours and find myself spending hours and hours rewatching your content. I love videos like these every bit as much as the scambaiting, too -- sometimes even more!
The eggy in a basket looks amazing, whole thing is smol and nice but a full size breakfast is the way to go, can't beat it.
Fantastic!!! I am soooo hungry seeing this, and am laughing so hard at your efforts! Thank you so much for the laughs.
I dared to hope this was where you were going with these pans. Thanks for the content.
I got a 4-pack of these some years ago which came with a cookie dough mix. I later made my own dough and had issues with the cookies spreading over the edges during the baking process. You could try the same thing while being careful as to how much dough you put in the pan to allow for spreading.
I still reckon my mini cornbread idea would be cracking addition to any homemade soup or stew. Thank you for another really entertaining and fun video.
After the first part i thought "ok next video tomorrow... nope. it was just the second part!AND THERE WAS ATHIRD PART!
other creators would have made a mini series out of it, andd you just made good proper content out of it. love it!
and full english breakfast too
Absolutely Fantastic.
Your creativity and inventive are always inspiring and Fun.
Thanks AS.
I think this would work wonderfully as a little mini two egg ham and cheese omelette pan. You could even use the other pan upside down on top of it to help cook it through.
I love the look of the "Full English Breakfast Muffin". Looks modern but it's still classic!
The pans are very cute and I personally enjoyed the whole video! Thankyou.
Although I am now craving a full English breakfast. Yum!
Brilliant. RUclips cook, Barry Lewis, used to make miniscule meals, that had to fit on doll's crockery. He also, with a mate of his, used to create vast versions of things, too. A fun watch.
in the US we have always had a No 3 Cast Iron pan which is 6.5" across and 1.25" deep. it is much nicer than those wee things
Main reason I bought one of those mini pans was camping trips on my bike. These are really nice on a little portable gas cartridge.. cooker..thingy (whatever those are called in english), but also work on a small open fire, if you can safely make one wherever you are. And it's much less risky than a mini teflon coated pan which could easily get too hot (toxic) or have the coating physically damaged and bits of it end up in your food
A full English breakfast wrap sounds like it would work well.
The pans might not have been a success, but as someone who is currently working on portion control it was neat to see these smaller versions of the food! The shakshuka in particular looked very good and something I may try if I ever get a pan of similar size. Thank you Mr Shrimp!
Sandwich is a great idea - here in Ireland we put a full Irish into a baguette and call it a breakfast roll. Pudding, sausage, and rashers are of course going to be there, but some opt for eggs, beans, hash browns, mushrooms, et al. Absolutely delicious.
I got the same little pan for Christmas I'm in the USA. While the little pan is getting hot I put an English muffin in the toaster. then I cook an egg with the little pan it's the perfect size for an egg. I put a slice of cheddar cheese on the egg then slap that on the English muffin with a little bit of strawberry jam. The little pain is so easy to clean . I usually just wipe it off with a damp towel. I really like the little pan.
You can make wonderful pancakes in these pans. The shallowness can be handy for turning them over and they'll be cooked in no time. Yummy!
I'm so glad I was eating my dinner while watching this video. It all looked delicious?
I wonder if making tiny crepes in the pan would work. Or, if you've got a fire extinguisher handy, crepe suzette.
I love watching this guy’s food videos. It really cheer me up.
Omgosh! That was so much fun!
I'm always delighted by your content
I got a good chuckle when I saw that tiny pan in a thrift shop the other day
