Made to Get Better With Time
Made to get better with time.
Most pans wear out. A Field Skillet gets slicker every time you cook, and it's built to outlast you.
Lighter, smoother cast iron, made in the USA by a small, family-owned company.
"The Ultimate Goldilocks Skillet"
"This is one of the lightest cast iron pans we've ever tested"
"An ode to simplicity"
"I'm sure I will pass it down to the grandkids one day."
The life of a Field Skillet
Day one
Pre-seasoned and ready to cook.
Unbelievable quality and finish. No problem frying an egg in a pan right out of the box
Jackie S.The first year
Your seasoning builds every meal you make.
Been using the No. 8 and 10 for about a year now and they just get better and better!
Leeann K.Ten years in
The pan everyone reaches for, smoother than the day it arrived.
I can't believe I've had mine for 10 years! I still use it almost every day.
Abby, 2016 backerNext generation
Made to end up in a grandkid's kitchen, not a landfill.
I am looking forward to many years of using this until I pass it on to my grandchildren

Who makes it
A small family company, making cast iron in America
We started in 2016 with one pan, the No.8, on Kickstarter. Every Field Skillet is still made in the USA.
A modern twist on an American classic.
Smoother
Polished smooth, so seasoning builds fast and food slides right off.
Lighter
We take away iron from where you don't need it, leaving a thick base for high-heat searing.
Balanced
A longer handle that fits your hand and balances the weight.
“It costs more than Lodge, but it works so, so much better”

“Obsessed with this skillet.”
Questions
Both are cast iron, and both are made in the USA. The difference is the finish and the weight. Lodge leaves the cooking surface the way it comes out of the mold, so it stays rough, and its 10.25" skillet weighs about 5.6 lbs. Ours is polished smooth after casting and weighs about 4.3 lbs. The smoother surface seasons faster, releases food more easily and cleans up quicker. See the full Field vs Lodge comparison →
It's true, our pans cost more than your average mass-produced pan. We make them in small batches with American specialty manufacturers, polish every cooking surface, and hand-season and inspect each one. But a nonstick pan wears out in a few years and has to be replaced. A Field Skillet gets better with use and is guaranteed for life, so if you cook on it every day for decades, it costs pennies a meal. And you can cook on it for 45 days before you decide.
Almost everything. Cast iron holds heat, so it's made for a hard sear on a steak or a golden crust on a pie, and a smooth, well-seasoned pan is just as good for eggs, pancakes or sautéing vegetables. It goes from stovetop to oven to grill, so a whole roast chicken, baked fish, a frittata or a skillet cookie all work too. Browse our cast iron recipes →
While it's still warm, rinse it with hot water and scrub with a brush or chain mail scrubber. Soap is optional—a little won't hurt the seasoning. Dry it completely, then wipe on a thin layer of oil and it's ready for next time. Read the Field Method for cast iron care →
A little sticking early on is normal while the seasoning builds. Heat the pan before food goes in, use enough fat and don't crowd it. Every cook adds another layer, and because our surface is polished smooth, it seasons faster than rough cast iron. Within 15–20 uses most people find eggs slide right off. How to season cast iron →
Yes. Cast iron is magnetic, so it works on induction, and the base is designed to sit flat and balanced on glass and ceramic cooktops. It works on gas and electric too, and goes in the oven, on the grill or over a campfire. Cast iron on induction cooktops →
