I like this little skillet but was really disappointed when I opened the box and saw how small it was. A smithey 8 is not the same as other manufacturers 8. I also bought a friend one as a house warming gift and hopefully they won't feel the same as I did. Pan is good for eggs but not much else to be honest. I have other pans I can cook an egg in so it's really a waste of $120 or $240 if you buy 2 like I did. It cooks great and eggs don't stick but wish I had gotten the bigger skillet

We like that the pan was pre-seasoned and ready to use right out of the box. The pan works as advertised in that it heats like a cast iron pan but the machined surface works almost like a non stick pan. Food is easy to remove from the pan and the pan is easily cleaned with a damp paper towel and no scrubbing with salt is necessary like a traditional cast iron pan. Finally, we like the idea that soap can be used if needed, but so far, we have not needed to use soap.

Thank you for such great stuff

I have tried one pan after another and this is the only one that my eggs don’t stick…eggs are THE NONSTICK TEST, and this pan succeeded. Thank you, thank you

Their customer support is amazing! And I’ve been cooking with my skillet for a couple of weeks now and I can already tell it’s taking on a seasoned life of its own. The quality of this skillet is impeccable and I no longer feel intimidated by cast iron. I will be buying more now!
