The Field Company 8.38-inch cast iron skillet is a 8.38-inch (No. 6) machined-smooth cast iron skillet, pre-seasoned, sized for 1–2 servings — single-serving steaks, frittatas, and side dishes. Each pan is sand-cast at a U.S. foundry then machined smooth, removing the pebbled finish modern factories leave on. The smooth surface develops a glassier seasoning patina than rough cast iron and scrambles an egg without the stuck-on starch traditional pans get.
Right pan for couples and small households, single-serving cooks, anyone wanting a smaller cast iron beside the everyday pan. Field Company’s pans run lighter than equivalent legacy brands while keeping cast iron’s heat retention and oven-safety — bridging the gap between heavy old American iron and lighter modern cookware.
Field Company is a Brooklyn-based cookware brand co-founded by brothers Stephen and Chris Muscarella in 2015 with the goal of recreating the smooth-finish lightweight cast iron of the early 1900s. Each pan is cast at U.S. foundries, then machined to a smooth cooking surface — the opposite of the rough sand-cast finish modern factories use. The result is a pan up to 25% lighter than equivalent legacy brands while keeping cast iron’s heat retention and natural nonstick patina.
