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.

I love this skillet!

The No. 8 Chef Skillet lives on my stovetop, and is quickly becoming one of my favorites cast iron pieces. It is perfect for 2-3 eggs for breakfast and for cooking a quick meals for myself. It's also easy to clean and maintain.

Amazing

I love cooking with cast iron on my induction Miela. This No 8 is scooped so nice and feels great. I’m very happy. I have several brands. And Smithey is without a doubt heirloom. Even I have many sizes from Smithey. Today individual salmon white and sweet potatoes and green beans. Fit perfectly in the skillet. Cooked with Keri Gold. Finish. Extra virgin organic olive oil. Sorry no picture. Texture was perfect. Just having these skillets make one think out of the box and cook more great stuff. And reheating left overs or Suve in them is a blast.

Cast Iron Classic

Love my new Smithey. Love the look and feel of this skillet. Brings back memories of watching Grandma cooking in her kitchen when I was a little guy. Helps bring out the flavors of the dish being served.
