The Field Company No.8 Cast Iron Skillet is the 10 1/4-inch everyday pan, big enough for three or four chicken breasts and sized to feed two to four. At 4.3 pounds it keeps the heft for high-heat searing while staying easy to move around the stovetop, oven and grill.
Like every Field skillet, it is cast in the USA from recycled iron in green-sand molds, the way the best vintage American pans were made. The cooking surface is polished smooth, and thinner sidewalls with a balanced handle keep it lighter than most cast iron. It arrives preseasoned with several coats of grapeseed oil and no synthetic coatings, and it gets more nonstick every time you cook. Curved walls pour cleanly from anywhere around the rim, and it works on all cooktops, including induction. Field numbers follow vintage burner-ring sizing, so the number is not the diameter in inches.
