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

NO CHEMICAL COATINGS

Unlike many non-stick pans, every piece of Smithey cast iron is completely free of PFOA, PFAS, and PTFE. Instead, we pre-season our cookware with pure grapeseed oil, building a naturally nonstick surface that only gets better with use.

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. 

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.

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.

I wanted to get away from non coated skillets and dedicated to go with cast iron over stainless steel. I am so glad I did! These are now my everyday pans

My Smithey collection

The 8” is the 3rd in my collection to the #12 and the 12” skillet. I don’t use them everyday but 2 to 3 times a week. Bragging to my friends about how easy to clean and great to cook in. Love the whole concept of the company

So far so good

I like the weight... I have only used it a few times and see the color change happening... My hope is it will darken over time. The workmanship is nice.

No 9 Chef skillet

From time to time I would have three larger skillets cooking at the same time on the stove top. One of them would be used for nothing more than to fry up a few breakfast sausages or a couple pieces of bacon. This arrangement really cramped the space. I purchased the smaller no 8 chef skillet to handle smaller items like sausages so that the larger skillets would be easier to deal with. The no 8 solved the inconvenient issue.
