There’s absolutely nothing wrong with cooking for just yourself. In fact, there’s something pretty great about making exactly what you want, exactly how you want it, with no one around to ask, “What’s for dinner?” and then immediately veto your answer. The only problem is that so many of our favorite recipes seem determined to make enough food to feed a small dinner party.
Enter the miniature Dutch oven—or, in this case, a tiny “baker” that’s basically your personal-sized cooking companion. It’s just the right scale for those moments when you want something warm, bubbly and homemade without producing six servings of it. It could be a bubbling baked pasta, a cozy mac and cheese, a little pot pie or even a single-serving dessert.

Crofton Cast Iron Mini Baker, $6.99 at Aldi

There’s also something inherently more fun about getting your own tiny dish to eat from, like Aldi’s Crofton Cast Iron Mini Baker. It turns an ordinary solo dinner into a little occasion, even if that “occasion” is just you, your favorite comfort food and absolutely no obligation to share. Sometimes that’s exactly the kind of dinner you need.
This little baker has the satisfyingly substantial feel you expect from cast iron. It has a petite, rounded shape with short side handles that make it easy to move from oven to table, while the sage green finish gives it a classic, slightly old-school cookware look. The same size baker also comes in a cream colorway.

How to Use a Mini Cast Iron Baker
Because it’s a mini baker, it’s much more about your serving than feeding a whole family. It’s the cookware equivalent of getting your own booth at a restaurant—small, cozy and entirely yours.
Think of this little crock as having a much bigger job description than its size would suggest. Sure, it can handle dinner or a fruit crisp for dessert, but it’s just as useful in the a.m.. Make a single-serving breakfast casserole, baked oatmeal, French toast or a couple of eggs for a cozy morning meal.
And if you’re hosting, the mini baker is your new party MVP. Use a few of them for warm dips like spinach-artichoke, queso or baked feta. Everyone gets their own bubbling little dish. No hovering around one communal bowl and no awkwardly trying to avoid the person who just double-dipped.
