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.

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.

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.

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

I have the no. 5, 8, and 10. They have seasoned up wonderfully. I have only used them for a couple months and I already have them in great shape. In fact they rival my 100 year old Griswold. Why start out with a rough cast iron pan and frustrate yourself when these are beautifully smooth from the beginning. Seriously, give them a try, you won’t be disappointed.

This leather handle cover fits snug and I have never had to use a pot holder. It works great even when you have to tilt the pan.

It’s much easier to clean the cast-iron skillet using the mesh and the brush, thank you for your products.
