This is your new everyday pan—a meticulously-designed smoother, lighter cast iron skillet reminiscent of the best vintage American cast iron.

  • Made in USA

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. 

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.

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.4 skillet is actually larger than 4 inches. (It’s tricky, we know.)

Here’s how the No.4 Skillet measures up:

  • 6 ¾" top diameter
  • 5 ¾" cooking surface
  • 1.86 lb total weight

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

Do Field skillets work on induction stoves?

Expand

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.

What makes Field cast iron different?

Expand

Vintage cast iron pans—the type prized for their smooth nonstick surfaces—used to be polished by hand. Today, most manufacturers sell pebbly "as cast" skillets to save cost. That's not all bad—it just means they are heavier and a lot harder to season to a truly nonstick, slick surface.

Field Skillets use a machining process modeled on the best of vintage cookware, precisely dialed to be as smooth as possible while leaving just a touch of texture on surface to hold a great seasoning.

Like vintage pans, Field skillets have thinner sidewalls and weigh less overall, making them easy to reach for every day.

Isn't cast iron supposed to be heavy?

Expand

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.

Why are there no pour spouts?

Expand

During our years of testing and research we found traditional pour spouts just don’t work that well. They still drip.

The sidewalls of a Field Skillet flare outward slightly, similar to a spoutless pitcher. When liquid reaches the edge, it pours smoothly in a single stream—with minimal dripping.

And that's not all—without pour spouts, we’re able to maintain uniform wall thickness around the edges of the Field Skillet, keeping overall weight down without sacrificing strength.

“We found it easy to pour hot grease over the edge without dripping” - Wirecutter

Does Field cast iron come pre-seasoned?

Expand

Yes! We deliver a pan that is ready to cook out of the box. Our naturally non-stick cooking surface comes from three coats of grapeseed oil pre-seasoning. No coatings, 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!

    No 4 vs griswold chef

    I bought the no 4 because I wanted an alternative to my Griswold chef skillet. The cooking area surfaces are roughly equivalent. The no 4 is considerably lighter and better made & sits flatter on the range but it is not as versatile as the chef design. It now lives on the stove-top along with my Field no 8, no 10, & the Griswold chef.

    FEILDS CAST IRON IS PHENOMENAL

    First of all, I started using cast iron back in 2019 and let me tell you it was a lot of trial and error and I almost wanted to give up. Fields cast iron are the smoothest cast iron pans that I have ever come across. Here's the trick folks, once you learn how to properly season your pans you'll be amazed how well the pan cooks. Actually, the Fields pan is ready to start cooking as soon as you get it, but I'm just a little extra with doing my own seasoning an additional 2 times before I start cooking with it. Once that is completed, then the first few times that I begin to use it I always start off by cooking Dutch Babies or some might call it a German Pancake. Either way it really begins to season the pan nicely and for my experience the seasoning has been bulletproof. Thank you Fields for such an excellent pan, and I am definitely looking forward passing it down to my kids years from now.

    Ordered this by accident

    I gave my son my really old No.6 cast iron that I have been using for nearly 30-35 years. I loved that little pan but all of my old cast iron is getting a little heavy for me and I know he we love my old 'heavier' cast iron for many years to come. So I thought I was ordering a No. 6 but ordered a No. 4. I love it. Its beautiful and I cant wait to make brownies, cornbread, and chocolate chip cookies in it. It is sorta small but I love it anyway. This is my 4th cast iron pan from Field and I will eventually replace my comal with a field comal and i have really been eyeballing that griddle.
