Frequently Asked Questions
You're new to cast iron.
Start here. It's small, light, and designed for something you already make every day. No learning curve — just better eggs.
You still keep a nonstick around for eggs.
You don't need it anymore. The No.5 is 100% cast iron, gets more nonstick over time, and has no coatings to scratch or replace. Ever.
You want to switch to cast iron from ceramic or carbon steel.
Good choice. Cast iron holds heat better, builds seasoning that lasts, and won't need replacing. The No.5 is the easiest place to start.
Absolutely. The No.5 is optimized for eggs, but it's a great everyday pan—quick sautés, warming tortillas, toasting nuts and spices, melting cheese, wilting greens, or making a sauce. Anything small and fast.
See more recipes here.
Yes—all cast iron skillets, including chef skillets, 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).
Yes—ready to cook right out of the box. Every pan arrives with several coats of organic oil seasoning. No chemical coatings, no PFAS of any kinda.
The nonstick surface only gets better the more you cook and will continue to develop from the oils you cook with.
The No.5 is our second smallest skillet and the only one with curved sidewalls—perfect for 1-2 person meals, eggs, and sides. Field makes six skillet sizes for any purpose.
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.

- Linda B.Verified BuyerReviewingNo.5 Cast Iron Chef Skillet #5 - 7 1/2"I recommend this productRated 5 out of 5 stars6 days agoVery nice skillet
I was a little nervous about ordering this small of a fry pan. However, my fears were laid to rest when I received it and started using it. It is just right for one serving. Excellent for one or two eggs. Sometimes I make an egg casserole with hashbrowns for the crust and then an egg filling and put it in the oven to bake. This pan is just right for that purpose. Wonderful, smooth finish. I’m sure it will last me forever. I truly am a believer in cast-iron. I have tried other kinds of pans, but always come back to cast-iron. This pan is a little lighter in weight than a lot of my other small pans, which is a plus for me. Cooks beautifully.
- William B. W.Verified BuyerReviewingLeather Handle Cover Cognac / StandardI recommend this productRated 5 out of 5 stars6 days agoWell Done!
Very good insulator. Good grip on handle. Well crafted using good materials. Should consider making some hot pads slightly larger than the circumference of the pan bottoms for hot pan placement during switch overs.
- Mark N.Verified BuyerReviewingNo.5 Cast Iron Chef Skillet #5 - 7 1/2"I recommend this productWhat type of stovetop do you primarily use with your cast iron?? Electric CoilRated 5 out of 5 stars1 week agoperfect for single portions
Whether it is a filet, burger or salmon the size is perfect.
The shape of the handle and the curved sides allow it to be used like a saute pan
- Ed S.Verified BuyerReviewingLeather Handle Cover Cherry / StandardI recommend this productRated 5 out of 5 stars2 weeks agoWorks well, fits tight
Every piece should get a leather handle cover.
If you’re cooking with 2 pans, you have to swap it over so you don’t burn yourself.
Not well thought out

Great little skillet. Finding out that I'm using it for much more than just eggs.
