Why this Skillet?

Designed with slightly more surface area and depth than the No. 10, the No. 12 is the perfect size for families of four or those who cook to have leftovers. With our signature polished interior finish, the No. 12, when seasoned, is naturally non-stick and free of chemical coatings. From cooktop to campfire, use it well.

THE CASE FOR
OUR CAST IRON

USE IT ANYWHERE

From kitchens to campfires, your Smithey is at home wherever there is heat and is designed to work on all sources, from gas and fire to induction and electric. And don’t worry, it won’t scratch your stovetop.

INVEST IN YOUR KITCHEN

Your grandchildren will thank you! We’ve designed and crafted every Smithey to withstand the test of time, become even better with age, and be an heirloom in your family’s kitchen. 

THE PERFECT WEIGHT

It’s true—cast iron can be heavy. Luckily, this is something we take into account when designing new pieces. We craft every Smithey to be as light as it can be while maintaining the perfect weight for optimal heat retention.

EASY TO CLEAN

Cast iron gets a bad rap for being hard to clean. We’re here to bust that myth and let you know that polished cast iron is easy to clean. Unlike rough cast iron, which allows food to get stuck in the crevices, polished cast iron like Smithey has a smooth surface that practically wipes clean. And, despite popular belief, you can use soap.

Beautiful Skillet

I love cooking on my Smithey. It looks great. It won't stay pretty as you cook though and the factory season will definitely chip away. It's a great cast iron but it is hard to season and take a while

A Superb Skillet

Okay, it is the heaviest skillet I have ever owned, but its inaugural dish was perfect. I seared a thick ribeye and finished it in the oven. The heat was perfectly distributed and the beef was amazing. The beautiful bronze-like polished surface is now silver and disfigured but completely smooth and ready for the next task.
