I love my Smithey cast iron, but I mostly cook on carbon steel. The Smithey Carbon Steel Farmhouse Skillet is easily the highest quality carbon steel skillet I've ever used. It's appearance is beautiful, but for reasons I haven't fully figured out yet, it takes a seasoning more evenly and quickly. Maybe it's because the craftmanship that was put into it made me more careful with it, or maybe it's some mystical property of the skillet itself. In any event, it lives on my stove. No reason to bother putting it away.

Amazing, marvelous, beautiful & utilitarian (at the same time). These are just a few adjectives that come to mind when describing the Smithey Farmhouse Skillet. Seriously, I can't say enough good things about their pieces. The quality is unmatched. This is my second piece of Smithey. I'm totally hooked and looking forward to adding more pieces to my collection. I highly recommend the Farmhouse Skillet, or any other piece for that matter.

really fine work, wish i had house full of stuff this nice.

This is a beautiful skillet. It was a Christmas indulgence, and boy was it worth it. Love the hammered handle, and it cooks perfectly. The only complaint I can come up with is that it needs more seasoning than what it comes with. No problem though, this is true of my cast iron as well. If you’re looking for something special, this is it.

Love this pan. It’s beautiful. Almost didn’t want to use it and just hang it somewhere like a piece of art. Instant family heirloom.
