The quality is outstanding. I figured out how to season it and eggs wont even stick to it! First cooking session I did a pound of bacon. I kept the pan on low heat after and scraped out the stuck on bacon bits with a spoon. Took the bacon grease and filtered it through a coffee filter and into a coffee cup. Once all of the scrapey's are out take a dab of that bacon grease and heat it up the in pan over medium low heat. Use a paper towel to wipe out the excess and leave a thin film. Let the pan cool. The next time you cook with the pan, repeat the scrapey's cleaning and the heat up and wipe down with the bacon grease. By the 4th or 5th time I used my pan, it became pretty much non stick, and the flavor is great.

Yhe best!

I have cooked many dishes in my skillet and they have all turned out great. I love how easily it is to clean. I have had very little stick to my skillet. My older cast iron is more difficult to maintain. Its over 30 years old that may play a factor in it. We have a flat top stove and for years I have wanted to use cast iron but I listened to the comments it's not a good idea to use it on the flat top stoves. No issues so far. I'm so pleased

American Craftsmanship. Thanks you.

Wow! Love the rounded edges in the Smithy No.10 chef skillet…this is 3 or 4 egg perfect! Omelette! Small potato dishes …Smaller portion meals! Used right out of box with butter, or EVOO ! 99% stick free….cleans with just warm water. Then dry add EVOO layer and store! Works better than my HEXCLAD!!!!! I will eventually collect them all…the only cookware you will need in your lifetime!
