Know before you buy
The skillet arrives pre-seasoned with multiple coats of grapeseed oil, so it is ready for immediate use. You can start cooking right away, though the non-stick properties will continue to improve with regular use and proper maintenance.
Yes, the Field Company No.6 is fully compatible with induction cooktops, as well as gas, electric, halogen, and even open-fire heat sources like grills or campfires.
The ridges on the lid are designed for self-basting. As moisture evaporates during cooking, it collects on these ridges and drips back down onto your food, which helps keep dishes moist and flavorful during braising or steaming.
The No.6 skillet weighs 3 lbs. It is designed with a vintage-style profile that is generally lighter and smoother than many modern, thicker cast iron pans, making it easier to handle for daily cooking.
Yes, the entire set is oven-safe. Because it is constructed from 100% cast iron, it can withstand high temperatures, making it ideal for searing on the stovetop and finishing in the oven.
While the top diameter of the skillet is 8 ⅜ inches, the flat cooking surface measures 7 inches. This size is well-suited for smaller tasks like frying eggs, searing a single steak, or sautéing vegetables.
