Know before you buy
The Field Company skillet is engineered to be significantly lighter and smoother than standard cast iron. This refined surface finish makes it easier to handle and provides a more consistent, non-stick cooking experience right out of the box.
It arrives with an initial layer of seasoning, but like all high-quality cast iron, it will perform best as you continue to build up the surface over time. Regular use and proper maintenance are key to developing a truly non-stick patina.
No, this skillet is not compatible with induction cooktops. It is designed for use on gas, electric, and glass-top ranges, as well as in the oven.
This skillet is oven-safe up to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Please ensure you use an oven mitt or towel when handling the handle, as it is made of cast iron and will become very hot.
Dishwashers use harsh detergents and high-pressure water that will strip away the seasoning you have worked to build. To maintain the integrity of the surface and prevent rust, this pan must be hand-washed and dried immediately after use.
Yes, this size is ideal for daily tasks like searing steaks, frying eggs, or sautéing vegetables for one or two people. Its 2-inch depth provides enough room to prevent overcrowding while remaining manageable for everyday stovetop use.
