Smithey Review - Where Function Meets Timeless Beauty
Who says kitchen appliances can’t be both practical and stunning? With Smithey, you get the best of both worlds. This heirloom-quality brand has built a loyal following thanks to its high-performance tools and refined, visually striking designs. Proudly made in the U.S., Smithey cookware may come with a premium price tag—but it’s crafted to last a lifetime and beyond, becoming a piece that’s truly worthy of being passed down through generations.
What Sets Smithey Apart:
We’ve previously reviewed Smithey in our Mother’s Day Gift Guide, however, the brand is truly top-tier and we wanted to showcase the many things that set sets Smithey apart from its competitors. Unlike anything else on the market, Smithey’s cookware features a signature satin-polished finish that not only looks beautiful but also makes cooking and cleanup incredibly easy. The naturally non-stick surface improves with use, while the craftsmanship behind each item ensures long-term durability.
Specializing in cast iron and carbon steel (with plenty of innovation in between), Smithey’s product line includes everything from classic skillets to modern kitchen essentials like Dutch ovens and its brand-new double burner griddle.
Top Picks from the Smithey Lineup:
Dutch Ovens:





Available in sizes from 3 qt to 7.25 qt, Smithey’s Dutch ovens feature a wide base for maximum searing and browning surface—perfect for slow cooking, braising, roasting, and baking. The polished interior is naturally non-stick, won’t crack or chip, and actually improves over time.
Carbon Steel Skillets:




Hand-forged and one-of-a-kind, these carbon steel skillets are lightweight yet powerful—ideal for searing, roasting, and baking. The hand-hammered textured handles offer secure grip and visual distinction, while the pre-seasoned interior ensures ease of use right out of the box.
Double Burner Griddle:



New to the collection, the Double Burner Griddle is designed to live on your stovetop and makes cooking large batches or multiple items simultaneously a breeze. The expansive surface area and even heat distribution make it ideal for everything from pancakes to grilled veggies. Bonus: a built-in drip channel catches excess oil or grease for a cleaner cooktop, and golden stainless steel handles add a sophisticated touch.
Pro Tip: For best results, preheat the griddle for about 10 minutes to ensure uniform heat and flawless cooking performance.
Bottom Line:
Smithey isn’t just cookware—it’s a statement. It’s an investment in form, function, and longevity. Whether you're in the market for a chic Dutch oven or a hand-forged skillet, Smithey offers legacy-quality tools that not only look as good as they perform — but they’ll last a lifetime.
