The Field Company Starter Set No.8 bundles the 10¼-inch Original No.8 cast iron skillet with the tools to keep it seasoned: a natural fiber brush, a chain mail scrubber and a bottle of cast iron seasoning oil. The skillet is machined smooth and cast thinner than most traditional skillets, so it heats quickly and is light enough to handle daily. It suits first-time cast iron cooks and anyone trading a heavy, rough-surfaced pan for a smoother one. Against cheaper mass-market skillets it gives up some heat mass and oven-to-table heft, but owners say the smooth cooking surface and lighter weight are worth it.

Owners rate the set very highly, praising the smooth surface, light weight and the included cleaning and seasoning tools. Most say it seasons well and becomes reliably non-stick with use. A few note it needs more care than a factory non-stick pan and that the thinner iron loses heat when food is added.
