This is my first Field pan purchase as I wanted to see if I would like going back to a cast iron pan as I had a Lodge, which was inexpensive but really heavy and I am happy to report that I really love it! I think this pan is multifunctional as I can pan fry, bake or use on my grill! Sometimes you don't need the sides of a pan, so I use this in place of my small sheet pan to bake in my oven instead. I don't need a big pan as it's only the 3 of us and we are not big eaters, so it suits us. I went back and bought the 8" & 10" with lid, just in case ;). Thank you Field Company for a great griddle and products, great customer service too as I was missing my knob for the lid and I was sent one right away thanks to Jody, who helped me.
If you are on the fence, get off that fence and just buy it! It's beautiful and functional as well. You won't be sorry.
