Why this Skillet?

Our No. 8 Chef Skillet is designed to be a daily cooking companion. The smaller shape and curved interior sides promote movement and flipping, while the longer handle keeps your hands farther away from heat. Like all Smithey skillets, the interior features a smooth, polished finish that, when seasoned, is naturally non-stick. Use it well!

THE CASE FOR
OUR CAST IRON

NO CHEMICAL COATINGS

Unlike many non-stick pans, every piece of Smithey cast iron is completely free of PFOA, PFAS, and PTFE. Instead, we pre-season our cookware with pure grapeseed oil, building a naturally nonstick surface that only gets better with use.

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. 

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.

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.

All I can say is "Wow!"

I purchased another brand of higher-end cast iron, and those are the most used pans. We were hesitant to replace our nonstick egg pan. Finally, we decided to purchase the No. 8 in hopes that eggs would indeed slide around, and we loved the shape of the No. 8. All I can say is that it is fantastic for eggs. Not only does it slide around, but cooking them in a cast-iron skillet adds a whole new delicious twist to the eggs. We LOVE this pan, and I plan to gift one to each of my adult children. This thing will last a lifetime and, in the long term, will save money compared to constantly replacing a nonstick pan, with the added bonus of no chemical yuck in the food. Super-smooth surface; cooked great right out of the box. Super happy!

Beautiful small skillet

I love this skillet. It's perfect for my daily morning egg, which is the main reason I bought it, but it's also just right for whipping up a small quantity of pasta sauce. Given time, I'm sure I'll find many more uses for it..
