Why this Skillet?

Our No. 8 Chef Skillet is designed to be a daily cooking companion. The smaller shape and curved interior sides promote movement and flipping, while the longer handle keeps your hands farther away from heat. Like all Smithey skillets, the interior features a smooth, polished finish that, when seasoned, is naturally non-stick. Use it well!

THE CASE FOR
OUR CAST IRON

USE IT ANYWHERE

From kitchens to campfires, your Smithey is at home wherever there is heat and is designed to work on all sources, from gas and fire to induction and electric. And don’t worry, it won’t scratch your stovetop.

INVEST IN YOUR KITCHEN

Your grandchildren will thank you! We’ve designed and crafted every Smithey to withstand the test of time, become even better with age, and be an heirloom in your family’s kitchen. 

THE PERFECT WEIGHT

It’s true—cast iron can be heavy. Luckily, this is something we take into account when designing new pieces. We craft every Smithey to be as light as it can be while maintaining the perfect weight for optimal heat retention.

EASY TO CLEAN

Cast iron gets a bad rap for being hard to clean. We’re here to bust that myth and let you know that polished cast iron is easy to clean. Unlike rough cast iron, which allows food to get stuck in the crevices, polished cast iron like Smithey has a smooth surface that practically wipes clean. And, despite popular belief, you can use soap.

Perfect little pan

Why am I so late to the cast iron game?! Seriously, this is the most perfect pan for a pair of eggs, or an omelet. Can’t wait to see what else it does well!

Smooth but seasoning is tough to build up

I really like the smoothness of the skillet. When I first used it a lot of the seasoning came off. In all fairness the instructions say that it very well could. I then went through several rounds of seasoning with avocado oil in the oven and skillet was starting to get some color back. Then the next time I used it most of the seasoning came off again. I suspect I need to have more layers and be cautious about what I am cooking until seasoning is more established.

Mind blown.

I was super skeptical about this pan. I switched all my cookware to stainless steel , except had one nonstick pan to cook eggs. My friend recommended Smitheys. I’m just a mom trying to cook eggs without toxic chemicals OR scraping pans for hours! After 1 month of using this (a few times a week), I just cooked 3 scrambled eggs no problem and the pan looks shiney with NO stuck on egg!!! It also does fried eggs amazingly. Best kitchen purchase ever. Get the pan.
