The quality just jumps out
I arrived home one day to seventeen packages and noticed that one was from Smithey. I went straight for the that box first. That’s when the magic began. I had high hopes from all the amazing reviews, but I was not prepared for the beauty I was about to behold: the skillet is a piece of art—it has not left my stove top since I unboxed it!
My first chore was to sauté wild mushrooms in duck fat. I’d been using Caraway cookware for a time, and while it’s good, I cannot get a hard sear on anything. Bring in the Smithey 12 “ dual-handled skillet: my mushrooms came out the most enticing, mouth-watering golden chestnut brown and were FULL of that amazing flavor that comes only from a Maillard reaction. Next was zucchini, summer squash, and candy onions—again, beautifully caramelized and full of flavor.
The skillet cleaned-up with a drop of Dawn dish soap and a sponge—no chainmail required this time. It has quickly become my favorite piece of cookware and thus begins my Smithey collection—I want it all!
If you’re on the fence, JUMP! You will not regret the decision. This is as close to perfection as cookware comes. Bon Appétit!
It’s lovely. Served seared ahi last night.
I love this piece. It cooks amazing and looks even better. I haven’t managed to even put it away yet and it sits with pride on my cooktop! Love it!!
I absolutely love this skillet. We had nonstick pans before (not cast iron) and finally made the switch. I had looked at a few other companies but decided on this one due to free shipping. Hands down will be making the switch to all cast-iron from Smithey. The quality is top notch and cleaning our cast-iron is a breeze!
