The No.5 is not a scaled-down skillet, it is a different shape. The walls curve up and out rather than meeting the base at a right angle, which is what lets you roll an omelette, swirl a pan sauce, or slide an egg out in one motion instead of chasing it into a corner.
At 7.5 inches across it is a one-or-two-egg pan, and it is light — Field machine-polishes its castings smooth and pours them thin, so this handles like a good carbon steel pan rather than a slab of iron.
It arrives pre-seasoned and ready to cook. Field Company casts in the USA.
