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
- 4.5 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.)
Looking for a bigger pan? Try the Bigger Starter Set, featuring our No.10 Skillet + Care Kit.
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!

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.

Natural Fiber Brush
Wash cast iron cookware with warm water, using the Natural Fiber Brush to remove loose food residue.
Soap up if you want to! Your cast iron can handle it.
Chain Mail Scrubber
Use the stainless steel Chain Mail Scrubber to get rid of stubborn food residue.
Even if your skillet is relatively clean, we recommend gently scuffing the surface and side walls of your skillet, preparing it to accept new and stronger seasoning.
Field Seasoning Oil
Dry your cast iron, then apply a thin coat of Seasoning Oil to all surfaces—including the side walls and bottom.
Even a thin coating will help ensure that you're building new, resilient seasoning every time you heat your skillet. Cook often, and apply after every use!
- Jose G.Verified BuyerReviewingNo.8 Cast Iron Skillet, 10 ¼ inches #8 - 10 1/4"I recommend this productWhat type of stovetop do you primarily use with your cast iron?? Gas, Grill/FireRated 5 out of 5 stars2 weeks agoHonest review
After testing other brands, I must say, Field is the best cast iron cookware on the market, in terms of quality, looks and performance. It is lighter but still has the necessary mass on the bottom for good heat retention. It seasons faster than other brands due to the lighter weight. Not as fast as Carbon steel but almost there. No sacrifice in performance. Just added convenience and efficiency. The seasoning looks smooth and even unlike other brands.
If you can afford it and you like to cook, I would highly recommend this brand.

I have many cast Iron pieces, some old, some newer. I have used every type of oil or lard over the years to season them. This seasoning blend is the best I have used, and a little goes a long way. The brush is handy, but the chain mail scrubber is the bomb for tough spots. Absolutely will buy again.

I love ❤️ the weight, the smooth surface and it’s simple to clean. It’s exactly what the doctor ordered. Plus I think I missed getting the iron every day.

I live my new frying pan and the cleaning brush is really good. I cook on an induction cooktop and and use the frying pan inside the gas grill. It works great in both places. The weight is excellent and the milled surface is superb.
