Works great for what I bought it for.
Have been cooking rock Cornish game hens, scallops and eggs in it so far. Get a good sear in it. Easy to clean. I have been cooking for my wife and I.
Due to the hand-forged nature of our carbon steel cookware and with each piece being slightly unique, we do not have a custom fitting lid for our Deep Farmhouse skillet.
We think that the handle of our Deep Farmhouse skillet is too handsome to cover up with a sleeve, so we do not have a custom fit sleeve for this piece. We recommend using our full-grain leather or suede potholder however.
With any piece of carbon steel cookware heat will eventually make its way to the handle. However, more often than not if making a quick stir-fry or searing a piece of protein the handle will not get hot.

First, this is a show-off pan. If people are watching you cook, they are impressed and tantalized before first bite.
Cooking is all about time, temperature, quality ingredients, and the right spices. This pan heats quickly and evenly. It can simmer at low temperature or sear at high temperature, and no bits of plastic to come off in your food. Nice.
What about cleanup, you ask? The pan deglazes in a jiffy. No need for metal-on-metal scratching. Rust? Lubricate with healthy oil before cooking, and smear a bit of grapeseed oil on it after every use. No problem.
This is a pan for you and your great grandchildren.
this is a beautiful pan, but don't let that fool you it's a great two for cooking all kinds of meals whether it's a steak, sautéed fish or cooking veggies it can do it all!!
Spectacular !
Amazing skillet that has exceeded my expectation. The first carbon steel pan I've purchased and don't regret paying a little more money for a fantastic skillet. Have since purchased the little farm house skillet and I'm having the same cooking experience.
I have several pieces of all-clad stainless, but will slowly replace them with other Smithy cookware.
