Machine polished, like the best vintage skillets. We remove weight from the sidewalls leaving heft in the bottom.
A well-seasoned cast iron pan offers a natural nonstick surface without chemicals or engineered coatings.
Our cast iron is durable and only gets better with time. We back that up with a lifetime warranty.
As brothers who grew up with our grandmother’s vintage skillets, our journey in cast iron began with the question “Why don’t they make them like they used to?”
We spent years studying and researching vintage American skillets before creating the Field Skillet.
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.
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 are named after vintage cast iron naming conventions, meaning the No.8 Field Skillet is actually 10.25 inches.
If you're shopping for your every day pan, we would recommend our two most popular skillets:
- No.8 Skillet, best for 1-3 people
- No.10 Skillet, best for 2-5 people
