Frequently Asked Questions
You're new to cast iron.
Start here. It's small, light, and designed for something you already make every day. No learning curve — just better eggs.
You still keep a nonstick around for eggs.
You don't need it anymore. The No.5 is 100% cast iron, gets more nonstick over time, and has no coatings to scratch or replace. Ever.
You want to switch to cast iron from ceramic or carbon steel.
Good choice. Cast iron holds heat better, builds seasoning that lasts, and won't need replacing. The No.5 is the easiest place to start.
Absolutely. The No.5 is optimized for eggs, but it's a great everyday pan—quick sautés, warming tortillas, toasting nuts and spices, melting cheese, wilting greens, or making a sauce. Anything small and fast.
See more recipes here.
Yes—all cast iron skillets, including chef skillets, work on induction. Cast iron is naturally magnetic, which is exactly what induction cooktops require (even if the bottom of the pan doesn't have full contact).
Yes—ready to cook right out of the box. Every pan arrives with several coats of organic oil seasoning. No chemical coatings, no PFAS of any kinda.
The nonstick surface only gets better the more you cook and will continue to develop from the oils you cook with.
The No.5 is our second smallest skillet and the only one with curved sidewalls—perfect for 1-2 person meals, eggs, and sides. Field makes six skillet sizes for any purpose.
Most modern cast iron is heavy and rough—sold "as cast" to save on costs. Field skillets are machined smooth, modeled on the best vintage cookware—thinner walls, less weight, and a surface that builds great seasoning fast. It's how cast iron used to be made, done even better.

- Erik R.Verified BuyerReviewingNo.5 Cast Iron Chef Skillet #5 - 7 1/2"I do not recommend this productWhat type of stovetop do you primarily use with your cast iron?? GasRated 2 out of 5 starsYesterdayDisappointed
I’ve tried several cast iron pans in hopes of getting one that actually performed the way traditional cast iron pans are supposed to perform.
I tried lodge, which was terrible, frankly useless. I bought a Lancaster brand pan, which was a considerable improvement over lodge. But still nothing approaching “nonstick”. So I tried one of yours. I think it was #5. Everything sticks. Even using a large amount of butter or oil, fried eggs stick. Scrambled eggs stick. Not as bad as the lodge, but clearly worse than the Lancaster brand pan. I expect the pan’s interior to be smooth, as the Lancaster. But what appears to be lath marks are readily apparent. Sorry, you sent an email asking. I’m past my return time or I’d be sending it back.
Field Company4 hours agoWhat we've learned during our years of research and development is that seasoning needs a bit of texture to bond to a pan's surface. We create a unique texture in the surface of our pan during the machining process which is modeled after the mill marks that we found on vintage cast iron cookware. These concentric circles in the pans' surface which will quickly fill in with seasoning as you cook, to create a shiny nonstick patina.
Usually things sticking like eggs can be fixed with temperature and cook time. Here's some info about cooking eggs in cast iron: https://fieldcompany.mom/pages/cooking-eggs-in-cast-iron. With fried eggs in particular you want to make sure you are getting a maillard reaction, which is what sears the outside and by doing so it should naturally unstick itself from the pan. The keys to achieving this are enough cooking fat, high enough temperature, and then then leave the egg(s) alone until the browning starts to occur (this can take 3-5 min). If it takes longer try a higher temperature. It can be tempting to start flipping or trying to peak under the food, but you should resist this urge until it starts to do so naturally.
Feel free to email us at help@fieldcompany.mom if you need any more tips for eggs!

PROBABLY MY FAULT FOR SOME REASON THOUGHT IT WAS LARGER THAN WHAT I RECEIVED.
OTHER THAN THAT I LIKE IT. I HAVE HAD ISSUES PICKING UP MY CAST IRON SKILLETS AS I AGE AND THOUGHT THAT MIGHT BE MY ANSWER. BUT ALAS I UNDERSTAND WHY IT IS SO LIGHT WEIGHT.

Even scrambled eggs slip right off the surface. Who needs non-stick coating? My only request would be to make this shape pan in one size larger to scramble eggs for 2-3 instead of just one at a time. This is a great size for individual omelets. Retired chef, here.
