Know before you buy
The Field #6 is engineered to be significantly lighter and smoother than standard cast iron. By using a specialized green sand casting process, the surface is refined to reduce drag, making it easier to handle and clean while maintaining the heat retention you expect from iron.
Yes. Each skillet is pre-seasoned with three coats of organic grapeseed oil, so it is ready for immediate use. While the surface will continue to improve as you cook with it, you can start frying eggs or searing vegetables as soon as it arrives.
The skillet features an 8 3/8-inch top diameter with a 7-inch flat cooking surface. It is best suited for single-portion meals, side dishes, or smaller tasks like frying two eggs or searing a single steak.
Like all cast iron, the non-stick quality is built over time through regular use and proper seasoning. While the smooth finish helps prevent sticking more effectively than rougher pans, you should still use a small amount of fat or oil when cooking to maintain the seasoning and ensure easy food release.
Avoid the dishwasher and harsh detergents. Simply wash the pan with warm water and a soft brush or sponge, dry it thoroughly on the stovetop over low heat, and apply a very light layer of oil before storing it to keep the seasoning protected.
