Great pan!
Purchased in Charleston SC at the Smithey Ironware Company gift shop.
It was a great experience and the sales person (Kelly) did a fantastic job filling me in with all the info on how to use my new Smithey right out of the box!
The pans are beautiful and I’ve had great luck with all the new recipes I’ve cooked in it!
Can’t wait to add to my new collection!

Perfect
Exactly what I needed. I need no other pans now. Honestly, I'll probably buy at least one more.

Falling in Love with Smithey: From 10-Inch to 12-Inch Cast Iron Excellence
I recently purchased the Smithey 12-inch cast iron skillet after falling in love with my 10-inch. The 10-inch cooks beautifully—perfect heat retention, even cooking, and just the right weight and balance. It quickly became my go-to pan, so I decided to invest in the 12-inch for larger meals. Like the 10-inch, the craftsmanship is outstanding. It sears perfectly, holds heat like a dream, and looks stunning on the stove. I truly appreciate the quality and care that goes into Smithey products—they’ve made me enjoy cooking even more.

Beautiful and functional
This pan is beautiful and very functional. It retains heat very well, allowing for great searing. It is very non-stick, even while the seasoning is building, as it has a polished surface. We love this skillet!
