A beautiful-looking pan that cooks amazingly well. I was a bit skeptical of the smooth finish but am now a believer. My husband almost immediately removed the coppery finish but we've re-seasoned it and love the look, feel, and function of this skillet.

Great pan, slender and workable.

Have used this skillet three times: sautéed mushrooms, sautéed cabbage with white beans, and an omelette. Results each time were excellent. No sticking, easy cleaning and prepping for next duty. Delighted to add this skillet to my repertoire.

This is a fantastic pan, build quality is great, smooth finish on the cooking surface. I wish the walls were just a tad higher to prevent more grease splatter, but still a great pan. The price, like all similar companies like finex, butterpat, field company, etc., is a tough pill to swallow, but if you can afford it, it will satisfy your needs.

We have the Smithey 12 inch pan and love it. Looked at the No. 10 Chef Skillet as a smaller, lighter alternative. We are cooking only for my wife and I. The No. 10 is the perfect size. We use our Smithey's to cook everything. Steak, chicken, fish, veggies, etc. The pan is the difference. We cook with gas and highly recommend doing so with a quality cast iron pan. Invest in the matching leather handle cover. You will be glad you did. Smithey is the best there is. We will likely look at another Smithey pan to round out our cooking arsenal.
