No. 8 Cast Iron Skillet
Field Company produces the cleanest cast iron on the market, utilizing a smooth-polished finish and a simple organic grapeseed oil seasoning. It provides a natural non-stick surface without synthetic chemicals.
Quality & Materials
Uses a proprietary blend of recycled iron and iron ore. The seasoning is 100% organic grapeseed oil, applied in multiple thin layers. No synthetic polymers or PTFE.
Evidence & Testing
The company performs regular third-party testing for heavy metals (Lead, Cadmium) to ensure the purity of their iron melt, which is rare in the cookware industry.
Brand Transparency
Highly transparent about their foundry locations in the USA and their manufacturing process, which involves precision machining to achieve a lightweight, smooth surface.
Value Assessment
At $145, it is a premium investment, but it is lighter and more user-friendly than traditional cast iron, making it more likely to be used daily for a lifetime.
Why Not Alternatives?
Standard modern cast iron (like basic Lodge) has a rough texture that requires more oil and effort; Field Company's smooth finish mimics vintage pans. It avoids the 'mystery metal' concerns associated with some imported cast iron brands.
