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!

my issue with the skillet is the difficulty of your website ascertaining what size they are. I contacted customer service and they explained how you identify the skillets. It would have been nice if it was somewhere on your webpage, i feel like that is intentional. i didn't get any seasoning oil.

Pleasantly surprised with this mini wok
Almost didn't take the instagram add seriouslyn until I started looking into upgrading my old 10in OZ. I noticed there aren't many iron skillets in this size. Almost all currently are either a 4 incher that can only seat a larger egg or a 10in or larger; usually with a smaller handle (hello carple tunnel). Even fewer with the chef style round
cooking surface (which is my absolute favorite currently). It became a serious contender, and eventually won out on it's aesthetics.
While this does has some weight to it, it feels nice in the hand and the extra length feels nice to grip with a rag. My only gripe is it seems to still get as hot as a short handle on an O.Z. or Lodge. My thinking was the more costly metal would somehow be cooler to handle when cooking, (dumb I know it's hot iron either way). I honestly thing the leather rag/handle strap should be included with how many rags I know im gonna go through until mine comes. Though it's nothing new, if you're familiar with iron.
It's been a couple of weeks and although the seasoning came off the pan the first couple of uses, it's a total non issue if one is in consideration, DONT BE DISCOURAGED! Using THEIR seasoning method they provide after a few meals and it gets a good coat with a nice color. It's good practice for consistent maintenance, I think.
Overall I'd recommend if you're familiar with cast iron and looking to finally upgrade, say you have the means to get yourself a little something nicer.... grab one of these…
