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.

Summary - I’m a convert. Love cooking with Field cast iron. Following the directions and get a non-stick skillet that cooks like a dream.
Detail.
I’ve always wanted to use cast iron based on what people say about it. Some years ago I got that famous brand that has such a good price point. Immediately gave up using cast iron. It was so rough.
Fast forward several years. Started seeing articles about refurbishing old good cast iron. Married a wonderful woman who knows vintage and antiques that helped me out. Got a 3b Wagner. Did a full sanding refinish. Was good but a lot of work.
Saw an ad for Field. Looking into this brand found that it was made like the old iron cookware. Loved the history of the company and being made in the US was a huge plus.
I followed all of the seasoning directions. And as Field says in their information the best thing is to just use it.
Now I cook almost exclusively in my Field skillets. My stainless steel pan lives on because it has more taper to the sides for my omelettes. (Ended up getting a couple of sizes) They are so great on the stove top (We have a glass stovetop and it works well) and do great in the stove. Our frittatas are so much better now. We are taking our cooking with the help of Field and our CSA to levels we don’t know existed at home.
They cost more but they are worth every penny and then some. Supporting a US company that has done the research and believes in quality is a bonus.
Following the directions and how…

I've been using the Mini Turner for eggs and bacon in the No.6 skillet, as well as pancakes on the No.9. It is a perfect size for my uses. I have two Mini Turners, one for home and one for the camp box. It is used for cooking as well as apres clean-up. I really like the quality feel of the wood handle and steel blade, It is used daily.
