Know before you buy
The Smithey No. 6 arrives pre-seasoned and ready for immediate use. You can start cooking with it right out of the box, though the seasoning will continue to improve and deepen with regular use.
Yes, the cast iron construction is fully compatible with induction cooktops, as well as gas, electric, and ceramic surfaces.
The satin-smooth, polished interior provides a much slicker surface than traditional, rough-textured cast iron. This finish helps prevent food from sticking and makes the cleanup process significantly easier.
No, this skillet is not dishwasher safe. To maintain the seasoning and prevent rust, you should hand wash it with warm water and dry it thoroughly immediately after cleaning.
The dual handles provide better balance and control, which is particularly helpful given the skillet's 10.5-pound weight. They make it much easier to maneuver the pan safely from the stovetop to the oven or grill.
No, this model features a clean, rounded edge without pour spouts. If you need to remove excess liquid, you will need to pour carefully from the side of the pan.
