Work great, does everything it said it would!
No, due to the curved interior of the No. 10 Chef skillet our 10" glass lid is not a custom fit. Technically yes it will function as a lid, but it is not a tight custom fit.
We use 2-3 coats of pure grape seed oil to pre-season your Smithey with. Seasoning is applied by hand and there are no chemical coatings of any kind applied to your skillet.
The three holes are a unique identifier that allows a Smithey to stand in a crowd. Reach for it on the range!

I first saw this skillet being used by Healthy Elizabeth on YouTube and was impressed with the nonstick element she experienced. My current cast iron is not smooth on the interior and I’ve never been able to keep food from sticking when using on my stovetop. I have regularly purchased Teflon and Ceramic coated skillets for years. They are good at first but quickly degrade and watch that temperature because overheating absolutely ruins the nonstick quality.
I visited Smithey’s website and read about the company (USA, YES!) and about the cookware itself before ordering. I purchased the 10” Chef Skillet, a leather sleeve and the slotted spatula. I was impressed with the delivery time and the packaging, but I was overwhelmed when I saw the skillet. It is stunning and so well made. My other cast iron doesn’t even compare. The best thing is the nonstick cooking we experienced the very first use. My husband fried two eggs and couldn’t believe how easy it was. I highly recommend this skillet! No more wasting money on unhealthy Teflon and Ceramic coatings.
Very nice!
I love Smithy pans. My collection is growing. I have all of my Smithy pans displayed in my kitchen. I do wish that my 10” is “Charleston SC” stamped though.
Love it
