What is included
Three polished cast iron skillets, 8, 10 and 12 inches across the top, with no lids. Smithey gives their cooking surfaces as 4.2, 9 and 10.5 inches and their weights as about 3.5, 6.7 and 8.7 lb. The 10 and the 12 measure 9 and 10.5 inches underneath, the figure to match to your burner or induction zone. 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, without giving a number. Clean with warm soapy water, a metal spatula or a chainmail scrubber, then dry on the stove and oil.
