Product Description
Sear multiple proteins, sauté generous portions of vegetables, bake, and prepare family-sized skillet meals in Smithey’s best-selling No. 12 Skillet. Its cast iron body retains steady heat, while the satin-smooth polished interior develops improved release through regular cooking and seasoning. More surface area and depth than the No. 10 make it well suited to batch cooking and meals with leftovers.
Smithey founder Isaac Morton’s interest in restoring vintage cookware helped inspire a modern interpretation of polished 19th-century American ironware. Made in the USA, the No. 12 combines traditional cast iron character with modern production, a preseasoned finish, and an engravable surface.
