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.
None of us need more things. But many of us need the things we have to matter more.

I am a connoisseur of cast iron skillets (self promoted of course :) )and I absolutely love these skillets. I have since purchased them for two wedding gifts and one for my parents. I previously have used Lodge Skillets, but have used an aggressive grinding to get them as absolutely sanded smooth as I possibly can. These have worked well, but nothing compared to the craftsmanship of these Field Company skillets. I absolutely rave about them and have since insisted that any friend who is getting married place them at the top of their wedding registry. What is better than a gift which you can take care of, use for your entire life, and then pass off to the next generation in an even more valuable state?
Great skillets and I would highly highly recommend.

I do like the cast-iron skillet. And I have noticed overtime things are not sticking as much as I build up my seasoning. I’m glad you sent the email showing the description of what the pan would look like overtime as your building that has helped a lot cause I had me worried. I do wish that handle covers would’ve come with the purchase seeing that it was pretty pricey, but I might have to order those sometime soon, cause it is a pain in the butt to use a potholder every time.

I love the leather handle cover! It fits perfectly and stays put. The cognac is a bit more orange than I expected, but I still love it.
