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.

FAQ’s: The Founder's Set

Is the No. 8 Chef Skillet engravable?

No, it is not, but the No. 10 skillet and No. 12 skillet are!

Do all the skillets in this set have heat rings?

No, our No. 8 Chef Skillet does not have a heat ring, but the No. 10 skillet and No. 12 skillet do!

Perfect set

This is a perfect starter set that we enjoy the seasoning process. We started with boneless pork ribs in the oven and they came out tender. The 12” is now starting to discolor to black which is what I remember growing up with.

This skillet is amazing

I ordered 4 of the Smithey Ironware skillets, it was a investment I will never regret. My whole family thought I was crazy, but we all love them all and talk about how amazing and easy it is to take care of them. Cooking in these skillets is an absolute treat. We have thrown all other skillets away and would never go back.

best purchase ever.

Founder’s Favorite!

This is a must buy set. Immaculate packaging, meticulous quality, great cooking results. These skillets are almost too beautiful to cook with, but then you realize how much better they look after regular use. Must buy!
