The Smithey No. 12 is a 12-inch cast iron skillet, 2.25 inches deep, hand finished in Charleston, South Carolina. Its polished cooking surface, smoothed by hand rather than left as-cast, seasons into a naturally non-stick pan without chemical coatings. It suits cooks who want one heavy skillet for the stove, oven, grill and campfire and are willing to season it. Against rough-cast rivals like Lodge it is smoother and lighter-feeling in the hand, but it costs far more and arrives unseasoned, so it needs a few rounds of seasoning before it performs at its best.
