Know before you buy
The Field Company No.12 is engineered to be significantly lighter than standard vintage-style cast iron pans. While it remains durable and sturdy, the reduced mass makes it much easier to maneuver on and off the stovetop.
The skillet comes pre-seasoned with organic oil, providing a smooth, functional surface for immediate use. While it is not a chemical non-stick coating, the refined, polished texture allows for excellent food release that will only improve as you build up more seasoning over time.
Yes, the No.12 is fully compatible with induction cooktops. Its flat, machined base ensures efficient heat transfer across all induction, gas, and electric surfaces.
Because it is not dishwasher safe, you should hand wash it with warm water and a mild soap if necessary, then dry it immediately on the stovetop to prevent rust. Applying a very light coat of oil after drying will help maintain the seasoning and protect the iron.
With a 13.37-inch diameter, this skillet is designed to comfortably feed 6 to 8 people. It is an ideal size for large-batch searing, roasting whole chickens, or preparing family-sized breakfast bakes.
