Heavy, but non-stick!
No, due to the curved interior of the No. 10 Chef skillet our 10" glass lid is not a custom fit. Technically yes it will function as a lid, but it is not a tight custom fit.
We use 2-3 coats of pure grape seed oil to pre-season your Smithey with. Seasoning is applied by hand and there are no chemical coatings of any kind applied to your skillet.
The three holes are a unique identifier that allows a Smithey to stand in a crowd. Reach for it on the range!

Great Skillet
I’ve had it for about a month now. It took a little break in, but wow! This skillet is unlike any other cast iron skillet I’ve ever used. It’s absolutely as good, if not better, than any non-stick product I’ve ever used.
Once seasoned properly, eggs glide freely by only having to tilt the pan. If you’ve got a strong wrist, you can absolutely flip a fried egg.
I was hesitant to spend the money, but I am definitely considering removing all non-stick pots/pans from my house and going to smithy in areas cast iron is suited for.
The nice coloration of your pans immediately disappeared after the first use, and the "non-stick" elemnts of the pan were nowhere to be foundl I had to scrub the pans as if they were regular pans and not non-stick. very disappointed.
Phenomenal
