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

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.

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. 

THE PERFECT WEIGHT

It’s true—cast iron can be heavy. Luckily, this is something we take into account when designing new pieces. We craft every Smithey to be as light as it can be while maintaining the perfect weight for optimal heat retention.

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.

Nice addition to my collection

The 8 inch pan is great for my scrambles eggs, but not so good for a fried egg. Not sure what I am doing wrong, but I will keep trying.

It is easy to clean, thank you.

I just wanted to find another pan with out with a non stick coating.

Thanks so much!

Chef Skillet Review

We bought the No. * Chef skillet about a month ago. We use it every day to fry up some eggs and cook some other smaller protein. This skillet is awesome. I will be buying a larger skillet in the weeks to come! Have to say the customer service was awesome too - they got back to me in the less than 24 hours. Buying American is the cherry on top!

Love this Skillet

I was on the fence about buying this since I truly didn't believe cast iron could perform as well as nonstick for eggs and my toddler eats eggs every morning. It's the perfect size and it does almost as well as our previous nonstick just using butter and it cleans up so easily. I love it.
