Whether it's your very first cast iron skillet or an upgrade from the rough stuff, you'll love our vintage-style iron: light enough for everyday use, with a smooth naturally non-stick surface.

Set includes:

  • The Original No.8 Field Skillet (10 ¼ inches)
  • Natural Fiber Brush
  • Chain Mail Scrubber
  • Cast Iron Seasoning Oil

Whether it's your very first cast iron skillet or an upgrade from the rough stuff, you'll love our vintage-style iron: light enough for everyday use, with a smooth naturally non-stick surface.

Set includes:

  • The Original No.8 Field Skillet (10 ¼ inches)
  • Natural Fiber Brush
  • Chain Mail Scrubber
  • Cast Iron Seasoning Oil
  • Field Cast Iron is 100% Made in the USA. We work with recycled iron and pour our cast iron cookware using green sand castings—just like the most celebrated vintage cast iron manufacturers, Griswold and Wagner. 

  • PFOA and PFTE Free. A well-seasoned cast iron pan achieves a natural non-stick surface without harmful chemicals or engineered coatings. Your skillet will arrive pre-seasoned with three coats of organic grapeseed oil, so it’s ready to cook right away.

  • 10 ¼" top diameter
  • 8 ¾" cooking surface
  • 4.3 lb total weight

Field Skillets match traditional vintage sizing conventions, where the “number” corresponds not to diameter in inches, but to the burner ring size on an old-fashioned wood-burning stove. That means a No.8 skillet is actually larger than 8 inches. (It’s tricky, we know.)

Field cast iron cookware is compatible with all stovetop burner types, including glass and ceramic induction ranges. Like all great tools, cast iron cookware gets better with time and use. To keep your Field Skillet in top condition:

  • Pre-heat on low for up to 5 minutes before you start cooking.

  • Clean according the Field Method for Cast Iron Care & Maintenance

  • Hand-wash only. Never in the dishwasher.

  • Towel dry and warm on the stovetop to evaporate moisture. Never drip-dry or store wet.

Most importantly, cook often!

A well-seasoned cast iron skillet is the only pan you need in your kitchen. Cast iron’s heat retention and knack for developing a natural non-stick surface benefits nearly every kind of cooking.

Frequently
Asked Questions

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.

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!

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.

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.

    No. 10

    I have the #10 and it’s been great cooking with it I love the even heating, however I have some sticking going on in the middle of my pan. Is there anything I can do to it? I’ve had it for about two months now and season it the way you described.

    Hi Joseph, sticking is often a temperature issue. Are you preheating the pan prior to cooking? We recommend doing so on medium-low heat for 5-10 minutes. If you'd like, send us an email to help@fieldcompany.com and we can help you further troubleshoot.

    The brush works great, the chain mail is great, the seasoning oil is the best. Because cleaning cast iron is easy with these tools, one uses the pans more often. Very helpful.

    Exactly as described

    This cast iron pan is a game changer for me. Cooks beautifully & cleans up easily. I was hesitant to purchase because of the price but it's been worth every penny. It is exactly as how it's described on the website. Before purchasing I contacted Field Company with questions and they responded immediately with lots of information. I would definitely purchase from them again. Very high quality company and product.
