Features
-
Cooking with a Cast Iron Lid - Use the Cast Iron Lid's self-basting ridges to maximize your skillet's capabilities: learn how to braise, steam, and melt with a Field lid, starting with braised chicken thighs.
-
History of the Self-Basting Lid - Field Skillets draw inspiration from the lighter, smoother skillets of America’s cast iron manufacturing heyday. For our first lid, we put our spin on a cast iron innovation.
Story
A tight-fitting 10 ¼" cast iron lid turns your Field skillet into an all-purpose cast iron steaming, braising, and melting tool.
Vintage-style self-basting ridges on the lid underside collect moisture and ensure it drips evenly across the cooking surface, keeping stovetop and oven braises simmering smoothly.
Dimensions
The No.8 Cast Iron Lid is an exact match for the No.8 Field Skillet and No.8 Dutch Oven. Field sizing is based on vintage cast iron conventions, so our No.8 size means a 10 ¼" width, edge-to-edge.
Materials
Field cast iron lids are 100% cast iron, including the seasoned cast iron knob.
Seasoned cast iron is safe for high-heat cooking and breadmaking, making our lid a better option that ceramic or enamel-coated products, or lids with synthetic knobs.
Care and Use
Hand-wash only and dry promptly. Apply Field Seasoning Oil after use to maintain seasoning and prevent rust.
Like all cast iron cookware, our cast iron lids should never be cleaned in the dishwasher, or left to drip or air-dry.
Origin
Field lids are Made in the USA, like all Field cast iron cookware. We source recycled iron from American vendors, and use green sand molds to pour cast iron.
Cast iron lids are seasoned with multiple coats of grapeseed oil. No synthetic coatings, Teflon, or other materials.
