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.10 skillet is actually larger than 10 inches. (It’s tricky, we know.)

Origin & Materials
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.
PFOA and PFTE Free. 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 several coats of grapeseed oil, so it’s ready to cook right away.
Your new everyday pans—meticulously designed smoother, lighter cast iron skillets reminiscent of the best vintage American cast iron.
Natural Fiber Brush
Wash cast iron cookware with warm water, using the Natural Fiber Brush to remove loose food residue.
Soap up if you want to! Your cast iron can handle it.
Chain Mail Scrubber
Use the stainless steel Chain Mail Scrubber to get rid of stubborn food residue.
Even if your skillet is relatively clean, we recommend gently scuffing the surface and side walls of your skillet, preparing it to accept new and stronger seasoning.
Field Seasoning Oil
Dry your cast iron, then apply a thin coat of Seasoning Oil to all surfaces—including the side walls and bottom.
Even a thin coating will help ensure that you're building new, resilient seasoning every time you heat your skillet. Cook often, and apply after every use!

Frequently
Asked Questions
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.
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 several coats of grapeseed oil pre-seasoning. 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!
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.
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.

We already have a no. 8 Field but with the sale on the no. 10 set with the Dutch oven I decided to replace our 10” lodge. I already know the quality and benefits of this cast iron but I went with more Field products because of the weight. I recently purchased a no. 4 for my grandma to cook her eggs and she marvelled at the lightness of it. For me, pulling a 10” Chicago style pizza out of the oven that’s piping hot is difficult and having a lighter pan that still distributes the heat evenly and gives it a crust is so helpful! Not to mention the pan is much smoother better quality iron. Overall very pleased with my purchases.

I have been babying cast irons for years. Only have them get crappy build ups. This pan is smooth and cooks everything perfectly.

I bought their #8 around 7/8 years ago. It lost its nonstick even though I followed their guidelines w chain mail I already had, scrapers, and oils.
I purchased their chain mail, brush, and seasoning and it’s nonstick again.

I’ve been wanting a nice smooth bottom cast iron pan for a while. I’ve used other brands, however this one is my favorite. Great purchase and I’ll be buying a smaller size as well.
