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.

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.

an Egg Pan.

Discover why we made the No.5 Chef Skillet—the pan we always wanted on our stoves, and the one we want to hand to every friend who can’t quite give up their last nonstick pan.
