Field Company No. 10 Skillet Follow Up Review
Big Lew BBQ & Other Things I Want to Do! was given the product.
Stated in the source: “i do want to thank the field company for sending it to me for a review” Kept and labelled rather than dropped: a paid endorsement is still
evidence, and you should be the one to decide what it is worth.
i will say when i dump the potatoes out that first day i'm gonna dump the shrimp creole out um not shrimp creole what they'll make shrimp a two-fade right um and the gravy from the pork chops and stuff i'm gonna dump the leftover out uh that did well because it's real thick
also this is kind of nitpicky but i've got an induction stove and both skillets that i have my other number 12 skillet same size bottom they fit on that burner that over there that i use my number 10 skillet on but with the other one since this sides flare out i've got to kind of duck under and look to see if it's…
so anyway the that's what i got to say about the field skillet i used it and if i didn't like it i would have quit using it i continued to use it all week it was a labor of love it wasn't tough it wasn't tough to decide hey i want to cook something else in this skillet
i'm i'm really satisfied with the skillet
anyway i think you would be too if you're in the market for a premium cast iron skillet my recommendation is go with field

skillet was easy to clean that night too and just getting some more good seasoning layer on there with that skillet
i was already trusting the seasoning coat to use acidic foods like lemon butter uh they were delicious and all that fond on the bottom of the pot went into my shrimp a2 faders a pound of shrimp a little more than a pound of shrimp in there also a can of rotel tomatoes but you can see the seasoning on the bottom was…
i've used it as much as i can look how black it is came sort of charcoal gray did get a little bronze that first day or two but it blackened up real quick it's as seasoned as i've ever had a skillet i've only had it a week
but look how easy it seasoned in one week it's not that charcoal gray color it's black all right almost like a mirror finish

Marquette cast iron skillet

My overall pick for just best in design is I'm gonna have to go with the Marquette just because of the way it feels in my hand and the way that I know it performs and the two poor spouts
best in class Tested it Don't Buy a Cast Iron Skillet Without Watching This! Which Cast Iron Brand is Right for You?
Cites ergonomics, handle, seasoning durability, shape and form, surface finish
if we had to pick a winner on a handle that was most comfortable to your hand it would be the Marquette
next we're going to go to Marquette this review not long ago to me this was the smoothest Skillet coming to me of anyone that I got out of the bunch
so my overall winner for seasoning is eeny meeny miny mo is going to be the Marquette because to me it had the smoothest glossiest finish when I got it and accepted seasoning the easiest
when I first picked this up right out of the box I'm thinking feels like a Wagner or a Griswold into me just the way it sort of felt it's got a light weight to it and look here right off the bat two poor spouts now I really do like that I do

we get down to the Marquette to me the thing that really just stood out most of all to me what is the closest resemblance to the old cast iron I'm talking Griswolds and Wagner's to me it was the closest design to it and had this finish that was just like they used to have on them

right off the bat when I looked at this the very first time I'm thinking whoa I love the design of this handle because look how far I can stand away from the Heat and this thing is rounded to where it really don't hurt your hands when you grab a hold of it and it's got this v-notch in here which is going to keep it…
handling Tested it Don't Buy a Cast Iron Skillet Without Watching This! Which Cast Iron Brand is Right for You?
Cites handle, heat resistance, weight
here look at here a two-handle deal I really like this deal I do
a shorter handle means it's heavier for you to pick up you ain't got the leverage that you might have over here with this Skillet so that longer handle does help you out some on the weight that it's got

Griswold number 10 skillet

As for Griswold, Wagner, and other vintage cast iron, I would look at those more as collector's items. They can still cook extremely well, but I wouldn't spend hundreds of dollars expecting them to outperform a good modern skillet.

How do skillets score among collectors?
Computed only from claims about skillets by people we have grounds to call
collectors, so the axes answer “according to collectors”
rather than “according to everyone”.
Domain authority
2 recommenders, weighted by demonstrated expertise in skillets. Weighted by expertise in this category, never by audience size.
Independent consensus
2 independent voices across 3 sources. How many independent voices converge, unweighted.
Long-term ownership
1 dated ownership report, median 2 months. Volume and length of dated first-hand ownership reports.
Performance
13 performance claims. Claims about how well it does the job.
Value
2 claims about price relative to what it does. Claims about what it costs relative to what it does.
Repairability
no repairability claims yet. Claims about whether it can be maintained or rebuilt.
Community breadth
all evidence from a single community so far. How many distinct communities converge, rather than one echo chamber.
Recency of evidence
most recent evidence from 2023. How recent the evidence is. Old evidence is not wrong, just older.
Objections raised
8 negative claims, mostly ergonomics and use case fit. How much complaint is on the record. A high figure means the drawbacks have been stated and quoted, not that the thing is worse.
These are separate measurements, not components of a score. They are never added together,
and there is no overall rating, because which of them matters depends on what you are
buying the thing for. An axis that says no evidence means nobody has spoken about it, not
that the answer is low.
