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.

Sauté the trinity

This skillet was ready to use right out of the box and because it is so well pre-seasoned, clean up is a breeze. The longer handle on these chef skillets does make it easier to sauté by flipping if you have the skill set, I'm have fun practicing 😉. The cooking service is beautifully finished, smooth and naturally durable. Iron skillets are truly a part of my family heritage and now I've added a piece to the future.

Works like it should.

I have only used it about 8 times now in the last two weeks. I am able to make eggs over easy in it without sticking easily. I thought it was going to take more seasoning/cook on it before mastering eggs. I am very happy with this item. Worth every penny.

It's a Keeper!

This skillet is the perfect size for a quick meal and I am enjoying the seasoning process! I bought a second skillet for a Christmas gift for someone. Highly recommended.

Thank you for a beautiful product!
