A Message From The Founder
I started Smithey with some simple thoughts about what constitutes a piece of premium cast iron cookware. Surface smoothness, weight, wall angle, handles, and pour-spout dimensions dance around in my noggin more than I care to admit. These elements (and more) are important for you to enjoy a first-rate piece of cookware. But our work at Smithey is much more than the ideas and dreams of one person.
Your cookware is made by a team of designers, engineers, foodies, foundrymen, metal grinders, craftsman, and seasoners, moving in step, with a passion and commitment to make amazing cookware. This cast of characters delights in making premium cast iron and carbon steel cookware that you, your family, and friends will enjoy and rely on for generations.
We only ask that you use your Smithey to create meals and memories of your own. Don’t let your Smithey dither in a cupboard. Proudly display it on your stovetop. Put it to work! Don’t allow convention to keep you from new dishes. We are sure that you’ll be happy with the results. And when it’s time to pass your Smithey to the next generation, you’ll be all the wiser.
Enjoy and Use It Well!
