Cast Iron Loves Fire
The lightweight yet rugged design of the Field Skillet makes it the perfect companion for your outdoor cooking and grilling adventures.
Plus, cast iron's versatility gives you range in your cooking, beyond what can be done on a standard grill grate or camping pot over an open fire.
How is smoother cast iron different?
Vintage cast iron pans, the type prized for their smooth nonstick surfaces, used to be finished by hand. Today, most manufacturers produce rough, pebbly skillets to save cost. That's not all bad—it just takes longer to build a shiny and truly nonstick seasoning.
Field Skillets use a machining process modeled on the best of vintage cookware, precisely dialed in to be as smooth as possible while leaving just a touch of texture on the cooking surface to hold a great seasoning.
Does Field cast iron come pre-seasoned?
Yes! We deliver a pan that is ready to cook out of the box with a great cooking experience. Our naturally non-stick cooking surface comes from three coats of grapeseed oil preseasoning. No teflon, no dirty tricks.
Like all cast iron pans, you will see the non-stick properties increase even more over time as you follow the tried and true seasoning rule: Just Keep Cooking!
Do Field skillets work on induction & electric stoves?
They do! We have a clever feature on all Field Company skillets—a heat ring! This is one of our favorite features: it’s both a reference to cookware conventions in a bygone era, and a clever way to meet the performance challenges of contemporary kitchens.
Our heat ring is designed to make sure the Field Skillet remains balanced as it heats up on glass or ceramic flat cooktops. At just 0.04” of clearance, it won’t interfere with cooking performance or lose any power from electric or induction heat elements, particularly since induction is activated through magnetics and iron is a magnetic element.
Isn't cast iron supposed to be heavy?
Field Skillets aren’t as light as throwaway nonstick cookware, but neither are they unnecessarily heavy. We spent years studying our favorite vintage skillets to find the perfect balance between lightness while maintaining enough bottom thickness for high heat searing and even cooking.
Our research found the Goldilocks zone to be 4.3 to 4.5 lbs for a 10 inch skillet. Anything above this zone only makes your pan harder to maneuver without adding cooking performance and anything below makes the pan more susceptible to warping or breakage. This weight is most similar to a Griswold skillet, one of our favorite antiques.

I bought the no 4 because I wanted an alternative to my Griswold chef skillet. The cooking area surfaces are roughly equivalent. The no 4 is considerably lighter and better made & sits flatter on the range but it is not as versatile as the chef design. It now lives on the stove-top along with my Field no 8, no 10, & the Griswold chef.

First of all, I started using cast iron back in 2019 and let me tell you it was a lot of trial and error and I almost wanted to give up. Fields cast iron are the smoothest cast iron pans that I have ever come across. Here's the trick folks, once you learn how to properly season your pans you'll be amazed how well the pan cooks. Actually, the Fields pan is ready to start cooking as soon as you get it, but I'm just a little extra with doing my own seasoning an additional 2 times before I start cooking with it. Once that is completed, then the first few times that I begin to use it I always start off by cooking Dutch Babies or some might call it a German Pancake. Either way it really begins to season the pan nicely and for my experience the seasoning has been bulletproof. Thank you Fields for such an excellent pan, and I am definitely looking forward passing it down to my kids years from now.
