Carbon steel has performance that rivals cast iron at a lighter weight, making it the perfect material for Smithey’s new party pan. This new 17” pan is perfect for feeding a crowd - whether it’s paella, spatchcocking a turkey, or even frying up a dozen eggs and bacon at once. And it’s not just great for cooking - fill it with ice to serve oysters on the half shell or other cold appetizers. This pan is hand-forged in Charleston, South Carolina with a pre-seasoned finish and oversized helper handles. Smithey pans are as beautiful as they are functional and have a lifetime guarantee.
