Cast Iron vs Carbon Steel...
Cast Iron
MATERIAL
Cast iron sourced and poured in the US
KEY DIFFERENCES
Poured and cast from molten iron, polished interior surface, slightly heavier in weight for maximum heat retention
USES
Cast iron holds heat exceptionally well and is perfect for searing steaks, frying chickens, baking and more
CARE
Keep cast iron thoroughly dry between uses and season with a light sheen of oil as needed
WHY CAST IRON
A versatile kitchen workhorse that is compatible with all cooktops, ovens, grills, even open flames
Carbon Steel
MATERIAL
US sourced carbon steel
KEY DIFFERENCES
Smooth metal hand-forged by blacksmiths, lighter in weight, unique in design (no two pieces are the same)
USES
Carbon steel is a more responsive metal great for dialing in temperatures for fish, eggs, and sauteed dishes
CARE
Keep carbon steel thoroughly dry in between uses and season with a light sheen of oil as needed.
WHY CARBON STEEL
A functional work of art that heats up quickly for the cook that likes movement on the stovetop

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!
