Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our premium cast iron and carbon steel cookware.
How do I season my Smithey ironware for the first time?
All Smithey products arrive pre-seasoned with high-quality vegetable oil and are ready to use immediately. To build a deeper non-stick surface, we recommend cooking high-fat foods like bacon or using a light layer of grapeseed oil after each wash.
What is the best way to clean my skillet?
Wash your skillet by hand using warm water and a soft brush. For stubborn stuck-on food, use a chainmail scrubber or a small amount of mild soap. Always dry your ironware immediately and completely on the stovetop over low heat.
Can I use Smithey cookware on an induction cooktop?
Yes, our cast iron and carbon steel cookware is fully compatible with all heat sources, including induction, gas, electric, glass stovetops, ovens, and open campfires.
What is your shipping policy?
We offer standard shipping across the contiguous United States, typically processing orders within 1-2 business days. Expedited shipping options are available at checkout for those who need their heirloom-quality tools sooner.
Do you offer a warranty on your products?
We stand behind the craftsmanship of our products. Smithey offers a limited lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects to ensure your ironware remains a centerpiece of your kitchen for generations.
What is your return policy?
We want you to love your Smithey. If you are not satisfied with your purchase, you may return unused items in their original packaging within 30 days of delivery for a full refund.
