There's no exact definition. Depending on context, usually 8" diameter or smaller. Reading through this recipe, I see that there are 2 cups of cheese plus a few seasonings, so you'll need something that can hold about 2 1/2 to 3 cups (some air space so the gooey cheese doesn't overflow). Measure your skillet volume with water before cooking. If it's too small, use a small ovenproof saucepan (about 1 quart). As with the skillet, you want enough space so the contents don't overflow, but not too much or the cheese will spread out and may burn.
