Field Company Cast Iron Skillet Follow Up Review

We'll get a lot of questions, so I'll have to

follow

up in the

field

pan. Is it really that good? Stay, you'll find out. I'm getting a lot of questions on YouTube to

follow

up, how is that

field

pan working? Maybe two months ago something like that. We received this box in the mail. We made an unboxing video on an 8 inch field pan. Now I was a little skeptical when I first heard this was coming because I'm old-fashioned. I like old

iron

. What it was like and how it was done. When I started looking into

cast

iron

and places I could get more

cast

iron.

What quality it had. I looked at what Shannon calls Google for cast iron made in the United States now there is more of it than you think, but some of those companies may not make it properly like I think it should be done. I think it should be milled to that antique finish that things had all those years ago. I did a little. homework on these people and then I emailed him and said, Hey, you know, maybe I'd like to try some of this cast iron. One thing I liked when I took it out of the box was the weight, but also when I look down.

Looking at it I saw the thickness of the walls, it reminded me a lot of an old Griswold or an old Wagner pottery piece, but when I ran my hand over it I saw the smooth finish that you won't find on a There's not much iron anymore, you're going to the store and shop a little. It feels like sandy pavement. They had a little list there of his things that maybe you shouldn't do to him from the beginning and one of them was fried meat. Well, I've always been a firm believer that when I start with a piece of cast iron I'm going to fry something pretty quickly, whether it's bacon or potatoes, so I fried some bacon in there without doing anything to it.

I washed it well with hot water I dried it I put the bacon in there it didn't stick it wasn't like heated that is to say something like other ovens where I had to get a spatula, a chisel and a hammer to knock it down there it wasn't good so I took it out of there , I cleaned it all, cleaned it just a little, warmed it up again. I put it in there, a scrambled egg and friends, I was surprised that it didn't stick together like egg whites do. you can't even get them out of there the more you use it the better it will be for you the more slippery it will be the better finish it will have now which I have found really helps these new pans a lot Fry something for you there is enough fat for you to be able to fry something.

I cook some fried stuffed chiles in them. I'll fry up some fish. I'll fry some potatoes. It really works well for seasoning, it's easy to clean, but. it's speeding up the seasoning process even more because you're at 350 degrees most of the time when you're frying and that oil gives you a point to sit there and just soak and soak again, take advantage of that season. I've also noticed that these filled pans end up a little different than other things I had. I won't say they're slower, but they look a little different than anything I've seen. I will not say. stained but I'll call it a little lacy is a bad thing, no it's not that it's not seasoned in there, it's just the way it accepts the seasoning that will gradually build up and fill out over time.

I have been using this pan. for a month and a half every day, it's solid black everywhere, no, it has a bronze coating, a little stained color, a little variegated color, they finish faster and smoother than any other iron I've used, unless you go back to the Griswold in Wagner all those years ago I started this with linseed oil, they recommend grapeseed oil. Linseed oil adheres very well to cast iron. People will say, Well, olive oil has a low burning point. I'm not trying to burn my seasoning. There I'm going to let it accept the seasoning I put in it.

I'm a slow and smart guy, which is why I love olive oil. Now you can use bacon grease, I'm not saying no. You can use lard, but make sure you only use a little. Go back to that video we had of how it was going. My cast iron was sticky. It doesn't take much for Reese's in the

skillet

. I'm just telling you that a little bit will do. You like the Brylcreem commercial, but if you use bacon grease or lard, make sure you use it almost every day because if you put a lid on it and seal it, you won't cook for two or three. or four, sometimes you'll start to have a rancid smell because bacon grease scores so high because you don't use it every day and it's not fed properly.

Ma'am, when we did our unboxing video, they sent us an 8. I love the pan. do it, but I'll tell you what they did, they went and finished, they didn't go and go make a 10 inch

skillet

. Now I've had this about a week and I love this scoundrel wherever you get your cast iron good looks. that nice ground finish, but remember that the seasoning process is not a one-time thing. I get a lot of comments on YouTube. Well that's too much work, it's not any work, this pan pays dividends every day I cook in it because number one, we are absorbing iron.

Number two, Shannon and the beagles are very happy because I didn't burn anything. There are some companies that make good quality cast iron in the United States the old fashioned way.
