Founder's Favorites Cast Iron Set: What's Inside and How to Use It

Founder's Favorites bundles three Field skillets—No.6, No.8, and No.12—for eggs, everyday meals, and big-batch roasting. Here's what you get and how to use each pan.
Quick answer
Founder's Favorites is a three-pan Field Company set: the No.6 (8 3⁄8 inches) for eggs and small tasks, the No.8 (10 1⁄4 inches) for everyday meals, and the No.12 for big batches and roasting. It's a practical starter set if you want one pan for each job without buying pieces individually.
Why three sizes instead of one
A single skillet can't do everything well: a small pan heats fast for eggs but crowds vegetables, while a large pan roasts a crowd but is clumsy for a single omelet. The No.6, No.8, and No.12 cover those extremes and the everyday middle. If you already own a 10-inch skillet, the No.8 may feel redundant—but the No.6 and No.12 still add range.
What the set doesn't include
The set covers the skillets only. Handle covers and turners are available as options at checkout, not part of the base bundle. If you plan to move pans from stovetop to oven often, add handle covers; if you flip eggs and burgers regularly, a turner helps. Otherwise, the three pans are ready to cook as-is.
Founder's Favorites FAQ
- What's in Founder's Favorites?
- Three skillets: No.6 (8 3⁄8 inches), No.8 (10 1⁄4 inches), and No.12. No lids, handle covers, or turners are included unless you add them as options.
- Is this a good cast iron set for beginners?
- Yes—the three sizes cover eggs, everyday meals, and big-batch cooking, so you can learn on the right pan for each job. Start with the No.8 for most meals, use the No.6 for eggs and nuts, and bring out the No.12 for roasting vegetables or feeding a crowd. Beginner tip: season all three pans together in the oven once to establish a base layer.
- How do I use each pan?
- No.6: eggs, toasting nuts, small desserts. No.8: everyday meals, cakes, pies. No.12: roasting vegetables, cooking for a crowd. Match pan size to portion to avoid crowding and uneven cooking.
- Can I buy the pans separately?
- Field sells individual skillets, so you can add or replace a size later. The set is a convenience bundle, not an exclusive configuration.
- What about handle covers and turners?
- Handle cover color and turner dexterity are available as options when you add the set to your cart. Choose a cover if you'll use the oven often; choose a turner if you flip foods frequently.
