The No.8 at 10.25 inches is the skillet most people should own first: big enough for chicken thighs, cornbread or a frittata, small enough to handle one-handed at about 4.5 lb.
This set pairs it with the care kit — chain mail scrubber, brush and seasoning oil — which matters more than people expect. Cast iron fails when it is cleaned badly; the chain mail lifts stuck-on food without stripping the seasoning, and the oil rebuilds the surface afterwards.
Skillet arrives pre-seasoned and ready to cook. Field Company casts in the USA.
