Fact: Cast iron is having a moment. And that’s true even while the cast-iron skillet has never lost its standing as one of the most iconic of culinary tools. So today I talk with Field Company co-founder, Stephen Muscarella, about how a vintage pan sparked a journey to reimagine cast iron from the ground up. We get into what makes cast iron so special — and so misunderstood; the small design choices that lead to better cooking; and why Field is betting on American manufacturing, thoughtful iteration, and timeless simplicity to bring back the use of cast iron in modern cooking.
