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.

Love it! My house is too humid. Pulled down my number 10 Griswold and discovered rust. Used the chain mail on it and cleaned it right up. Pan full of cornbread, whisked clean, seasoned with this new oil, looks great again!

I’ve never had a good cast iron skillet…until now. Admittedly , this was sort of an impulse buy. What sold me was the “smooth bottom” which turned out to be absolutely correct. With a little preheating and a little butter and/or olive oil, my eggs slide around nicely in the morning…and are WAY better than if frying in an aluminum/teflon pan.

Very pleased with this skillet. The reduced weight is helpful in cooking but it still cooks evenly when heated slowly. Smooth finish makes getting it non stick much easier. Considering the 10” now! Also pleased with the cast iron seasoning concoction.

I have cooked on modern Lodge cast iron for years. I decided I wanted a higher end piece and after considerable research I chose a Field Co number 8. I absolutely love this skillet. I have cooked on it almost daily for months now and have yet to need anything more than warm water and a gentle scrubbie to clean it after use. It sits on my stovetop as there is no point in putting it away and getting it out each day. Photo is my most recent use- peach/raspberry cobbler.
