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.

Love it!

I’ve tried various cast iron pans and carbon steel pans in the past and always had issues with them. Smithey’s is the first one that I’ve found that was easy to use and I’ve not had any issues with rust or food sticking. Just make sure it’s dry after washing and that there’s sufficient oil in the pan while heating up. The stainless steel mesh scrubber makes it easy to clean and keeps the seasoning in the pan. Be aware that standard 12” lids will not fit so best to buy it at the same time as the pan.

Love it, great product and cooks awesome. Had for about 6 months, still working on the seasoning but so far worth the extra money from my loge cast iron.

Love the size, big enough to fit four steaks for a family of four or Brussels sprouts for 8 without being too big. Not sure I would go the next size up

Love this skillet!

I have never had a pan that stays on my stove before, but this pan does not get put away. I bought it to replace my non-stick pans, which I was tired of replacing every year or two. This cast iron completely fits the bill and I am enjoying learning cook with it.
