No.8 Cast Iron Skillet

I absolutely love this skillet. After ten days of ownership, it has been used multiple times a day. From corn bread to coffee cake, sauteed pork chops, chicken and roasted potatoes. It has produced restaurant quality results. The patina and non stick qualities have progressed rapidly. I am most impressed with its ability to produce a gorgeous golden brown sear/maillard reaction. It has a great handle and even weight distribution. If there is one thing to nit pick about it would be that it doesn’t sit perfectly flat on my electric coil stovetop. Overall, extremely satisfied and will be purchasing a No. 10 skillet in the near future.

My 1st Field experience

My review is of my current No8 skillet. I've intentionally tested it cooking on my professional gas range top, as well as for baking and roasting in the oven. The good news is it performed well in all uses! After many uses, it still looks new! Though I own lots of high quality cast iron skillets and griddles, I ordered a Field to trial a lighter weight version. As I age, I feel the heft of moving a filled skillet from stove top to oven more and more. I thought it was worth trialing a Field to see if it would perform as well as my beloved, many inherited, pans. I will definitely be investing in a few more from Field. I want to mention what I consider a great customer service encounter I had with Field. Unfortunately, my initial skillet turned out to have a flaw discovered during my initial use. I contacted the provided customer service dept.and viola, they emailed me a free shipping label for the return and promptly shipped a new skillet to me, which arrived in a couple of days of my contacting them. They could not have been nicer, made the return process simple and the replacement exceeds my expectations. What some might interpret as a negative, I saw as commitment to quality and customer satisfaction and they gained a loyal customer who will make more purchases for myself and to gift. In this day and age of only getting AI chat and slow responses that require arduous steps to correct, this was a such refreshing experience. Kudos to the team!

Very smooth finish on the bottom of the pan. Smooth enough that I don’t worry about it scratching the glass surface of our induction range.
