Know before you buy
Yes, the No. 12 Flat Top Griddle is custom-fit to sit securely on the skillet. It is designed to function effectively as a lid for braising or steaming while also serving as a secondary cooking surface.
The Smithey No. 12 comes pre-seasoned with a smooth, polished finish that provides excellent food release. While it performs well immediately, the non-stick properties will continue to improve and deepen as you build up layers of seasoning through regular use.
Absolutely. Because these pieces are made from high-quality cast iron, they are fully compatible with induction, as well as gas, electric, and open-fire heat sources.
Cleaning is straightforward: simply hand wash the pieces with warm water and a mild soap, then dry them thoroughly immediately after. Applying a very light coat of oil before storing will help maintain the seasoning and prevent rust.
The lifetime guarantee covers defects in materials and craftsmanship under normal household use. It ensures that your Smithey ironware is built to last for generations, provided you follow proper care and maintenance instructions.
