Ten years, one pan. Stories from our 2016 Kickstarter backers.
“I use mine virtually every day—eggs in the morning primarily. Who knew that you didn't need all that plastic to keep eggs from sticking!”
Kickstarter Backer“Of all the Kickstarters I've done this is one that gets used almost every day. Love my Field skillet!”
Kickstarter Backer“Even after all these years, my hand and arm always experience a moment of surprise at the lightness. I have a larger traditional cast iron frying pan that I also use, and my muscle memory expects the Field pan to be proportionally as heavy.”
Kickstarter Backer“I absolutely love my pan, and still cherish it to this day. It still sports the most beautiful shine and non-stick surface and I couldn't ask for a better pan. It is still my favorite item I ever backed.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Most modern cast iron is heavy and rough—sold "as cast" to save on costs. Field skillets are machined smooth, modeled on the best vintage cookware—thinner walls, less weight, and a surface that builds great seasoning fast.
It's how cast iron used to be made, done even better.
Like all Field skillets, it's made in the US with iron sourced from US vendors. A few coats of organic seasoning oil are baked into the surface so you can start using it as soon as you get it.
No chemical coatings, no PFAS of any kinda. Just iron and oil.
Every Field skillet comes ready to cook, pre-seasoned with several coats of organic oil. The nonstick surface only gets better the more you cook and will continue to develop from the oils you cook with.
Yes—all of our cast iron products work on induction. Cast iron is naturally magnetic, which is exactly what induction cooktops require (even if the bottom of the pan doesn't have full contact). You are also welcome to try the pan for 45 days with your own stove to make sure it's right for you.
During our years of testing we found traditional pour spouts just don’t work that well. They still drip.
So we removed them. Field's curved walls flare like a spoutless pitcher—liquid pours cleanly from anywhere around the rim. Uniform wall thickness throughout keeps weight down without sacrificing strength.
“We found it easy to pour hot grease over the edge without dripping” - Wirecutter
Field Skillets aren't as light as throwaway nonstick—but they're not unnecessarily heavy either. After years studying our favorite vintage pans, we found the sweet spot: 4.3–4.5 lbs for a 10-inch skillet. Light enough to maneuver. Thick enough for serious heat. Go above that range and you're just adding weight without adding performance. Go below and the pan becomes vulnerable to warping. It's the same weight as a Griswold—one of the finest skillets ever made. Not a coincidence.
