Field Company Cast Iron Skillet Care Kit

The essential tools you need for everyday cast iron cleaning and maintenance, all in one box.

The Care Kit includes: Field Seasoning Oil (2 oz), Chain Mail Scrubber, and Natural Fiber Brush.

Field Seasoning Oil

An optimized formula to protect your cast iron and build naturally non-stick seasoning. Ingredients: organic grapeseed oil, organic sunflower oil, beeswax.

The key to non-stick cast iron cookware? Cook often, and apply Seasoning Oil after every use. Here’s how it works: we use organic oils high in polyunsaturated fats, because these oils convert most readily to resilient seasoning. Applying just a small dab after cooking helps keep your cookware smooth and non-stick, and builds a beautiful dark patina over time.

Does Field Seasoning Oil work for oven seasoning? It certainly does, but you shouldn’t need to. The surest way to a well seasoned skillet: just keep cooking!

Natural Fiber Brush

Our 2.5-inch kitchen brush with unfinished beech wood handle and stiff natural union fiber bristles well-suited to cleaning cast iron cookware. Beech wood handle provides firm grip for easy maneuverability while scrubbing pan walls and exterior surfaces.

Like many natural materials, the unfinished beech wood handle will develop a darker patina and smooth texture over time. With extended use, small cracks may appear along the grain of the wood. Made in Germany, from fully biodegradable and compostable materials.

Chain Mail Scrubbers

Chain mail scrubbers are one of the best ways to clean a cast iron skillet—but that’s not the only reason we use them:

A chain mail scrubber can quickly dislodge baked-on food residue, without stripping seasoning. This action scrapes away material that won’t help season your pan, all while lightly scuffing the very top layer of seasoning and creating texture where new seasoning will form strong bonds. This is the key to the Field Method for cast iron care, and helps ensure your well-used cookware keeps getting better with time and use.

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.

The Field Method (Cast Iron Cleaning & Care)

1. Rinse out pan and remove loose food with brush
2. Use chain mail scrubber to dislodge any remaining gunk and gently scuff cooking surface and side walls
3. Heat pan on stovetop to evaporate moisture
4. If necessary, wipe up remaining moisture with a paper towel
5. Apply a dab (about ¼ tsp) of Seasoning Oil. Use a paper towel or cloth rag to rub over all surfaces of the pan, inside and out
6. Wipe away excess oil to leave a dry, matte finish
