Which Smithey to buy

All three are bare cast iron with Smithey’s polished cooking surface, made in the USA. Smithey says they work on gas, electric and induction, on a grill or over a fire, and that your oven can’t get too hot for them; it gives no temperature. Wash them by hand with warm soapy water, a metal spatula or a chainmail scrubber, then dry them on the stove and oil them.

The No. 10 skillet on its own is the everyday pan: a 9-inch cooking surface and about 6.7 lb. The Founder’s set adds the No. 8 Chef, with curved sides for flipping, and the No. 12, about 8.7 lb, the size for three or four people. The 5.5-quart Dutch oven weighs about 14.5 lb with its lid, and that domed lid also fits the No. 10 skillet, so one lid covers both.

Smithey says each skillet works best on a burner sized to its underside, and gives that size: 9 inches under the No. 10 and 10.5 inches under the No. 12. Measure your burner or induction zone before you choose between them.

Questions before you choose

How are these products ordered?

Products that cover more everyday cooking jobs come first, then those with more pots and pans, then more lids, then by name. It is not a quality ranking, and what we earn from a link never changes the order.

What does “Not stated” mean?

The maker does not publish that figure for this exact product. It does not mean there is no limit; ask the maker or pick a product that states it.
