I cannot recommend Smithy's restoration services enough. After 56 years of hard use, the Griswold skillet inherited from my grandmother, was in rough condition when we sent it off to Smithey for restoration. Every aspect of the process from the ease of shipping to the glorious skillet returned a few weeks later was straightforward and simple at my end.
I cannot adequately express my gratitude to Smithey Restoration for bringing my skillet back to life. I made the mistake of using it on my daughter’s electric cooktop and when finished cooking I didn’t realize that the element was not off. Needless to say it burnt severely and even looked like it might have warped. I sent it for restoration and what I received back was a new condition skillet!! They are magicians.
Smithey did a wonderful job bringing my mother’s cast iron back to life. I’m so happy to be cooking with them!
I never thought that my grandma's old skillets would come back to this beautiful. They are both amazing and I love cooking in them again.
My 50+ year old griswold pans are like new again.
