Know before you buy
Field Company skillets are engineered to be significantly lighter and smoother than standard cast iron. This refined surface texture allows for a more effective natural non-stick seasoning to develop faster, while the reduced weight makes the pan much easier to maneuver on the stovetop.
No, this specific model is not compatible with induction cooktops. It is designed for use on gas, electric coil, electric smooth top, halogen, and ceramic ranges.
To preserve the seasoning and prevent rust, always hand wash the skillet with warm water and dry it immediately with a towel. Avoid the dishwasher entirely, as the harsh detergents and moisture will strip the seasoning and cause the iron to oxidize.
Yes, this skillet is oven-safe up to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. It is an excellent choice for finishing dishes like cornbread or searing meats that require a transition from the stovetop to the oven.
Yes, because the handle is made of solid cast iron, it will conduct heat and become hot during use. We recommend using a thick kitchen towel or a silicone handle cover when handling the pan on the stove.
