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.

Love this skillet

I ordered 4 of the Smithey Ironware skillets, it was a investment I will never regret. My whole family thought I was crazy, but we all love them all and talk about how amazing and easy it is to take care of them. Cooking in these skillets is an absolute treat. We have thrown all other skillets away and would never go back.

best purchase ever.

Don’t want any other skillet!

Was nervous to originally purchase, more than I usually spend. But I was drawn to the potential to have this skillet around forever. I am beyond happy! It is incredible to cook with. The even heating non-stick cast iron has made me a better cook. They are also incredibly easy to clean. I will be adding a few more products without question.
