The Field No.8 is a 10.5-inch cast iron skillet with a polished cooking surface, pre-seasoned and ready to use. It weighs about 4 lbs, lighter than most traditional 10-inch cast iron, thanks to thinner sidewalls and a balanced 5-inch handle. It suits cooks who want cast iron's searing and oven-to-table ability without the usual heft, and who prefer bare iron over synthetic nonstick coatings. Against Lodge and other mass-market skillets it trades a rougher, heavier build for a smoother surface that seasons into nonstick faster, though it costs more and still needs seasoning care.

Owners rate it very highly and many call it their go-to pan, praising how the smooth surface builds a nonstick layer and how easy it is to season and clean. Complaints are minor: bacon can stick, and the surface may discolor after scrubbing.
The No.8 Cast Iron Skillet is made from recycled iron, poured using green sand castings. It has a polished, smooth cooking surface and comes pre-seasoned with several coats of grapeseed oil. The seasoning develops nonstick layers as you cook. There are no PFOAs, PTFEs, PFAS or other synthetic or chemical coatings.
The curved walls flare like a spoutless pitcher, so liquid pours cleanly from anywhere around the rim. It works on induction cooktops.
"No.8" refers to old wood-burning stove burner ring sizing, not inches. The skillet measures 10¼ inches across, has an 8¾ inch cooking surface and serves 2 to 4.
