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. 

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 three coats of organic grapeseed oil, so it’s ready to cook right away.

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.12 skillet is actually larger than 12 inches. (It’s tricky, we know.)

Here’s how the No.12 Skillet measures up:

  • 13 ⅜" top diameter
  • 11 ½" cooking surface
  • 8 lb total weight

Field cast iron cookware is compatible with all stovetop burner types, including glass and ceramic induction ranges. Like all great tools, cast iron cookware gets better with time and use. To keep your Field Skillet in top condition:

  • Pre-heat on low for up to 5 minutes before you start cooking.
  • Clean according the Field Method for Cast Iron Care & Maintenance
  • Hand-wash only. Never in the dishwasher.
  • Towel dry and warm on the stovetop to evaporate moisture. Never drip-dry or store wet.

Most importantly, cook often!

Frequently Asked Questions

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.

Read Five Design Details of a Field Skillet

Like all Field skillets, it's made in the US with iron sourced from US vendors. A few coats of organic seasoning oil are baked into the surface so you can start using it as soon as you get it.

No chemical coatings, no PFAS of any kinda. Just iron and oil.

Every Field skillet comes ready to cook, pre-seasoned with several coats of organic oil. The nonstick surface only gets better the more you cook and will continue to develop from the oils you cook with.

Learn more about cast iron care.

Yes—all of our cast iron products 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). You are also welcome to try the pan for 45 days with your own stove to make sure it's right for you.

During our years of testing we found traditional pour spouts just don’t work that well. They still drip.

So we removed them. Field's curved walls flare like a spoutless pitcher—liquid pours cleanly from anywhere around the rim. Uniform wall thickness throughout keeps weight down without sacrificing strength.

“We found it easy to pour hot grease over the edge without dripping” - Wirecutter

Field Skillets aren't as light as throwaway nonstick—but they're not unnecessarily heavy either. After years studying our favorite vintage pans, we found the sweet spot: 4.3–4.5 lbs for a 10-inch skillet. Light enough to maneuver. Thick enough for serious heat. Go above that range and you're just adding weight without adding performance. Go below and the pan becomes vulnerable to warping. It's the same weight as a Griswold—one of the finest skillets ever made. Not a coincidence.

    As good as vintage

    My No. 12 Field skillet has performed flawlessly. I have purchased, over the years, several vintage cast iron skillets and after cleaning, have done as expected. I learned how to use and maintain cast iron skillet successfully. Accordingly, I was interested in purchasing a skillet brand new so that I can develop its seasoning based on only what I cook. So far it has worked out really well. I may purchase a smaller skillet soon so I have a matching set.

    Great Pan

    My son was wanting a large cast iron skillet. This is a perfect size and weight for his needs. I surprised him with it a few weeks ago. He loves it.
