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.

Louis, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship

We were looking for something that could move well from oven to stovetop to grill easily, and without any sort of chemical coating. We are in the process of eliminating all coated cookware from our kitchen for how much they harm the environment- their creation, short useful life, and the inability to recycle them. I remember food being cooked on cast iron and it’s just so much more palatable. We’re getting used to these new skillets and there’s a learning curve for sure. But we’ve got a good start on those patinas already and we look forward to thousands of meals cooked in them for our household of 6! Your company is a class act. Thanks so much for keeping traditional skills in the States.
