Smithey 7.25 Quart Cast Iron Dutch Oven by Smithey Ironware
The Buy Me Once Verdict
Smithey's big Dutch oven, with a wide base that gives more room for searing before a long braise. Fully polished interior, moisture-channel lid with a stainless steel knob, and the domed lid also fits the Smithey No.12 skillet. Made in the USA, about 17.5 lb.
Why it lasts: no enamel to crack or chip, and a surface that improves the more you cook in it.
The guarantee, in Smithey's words: "If your Smithey is defective, we'll replace it. If it fails you after honest and normal use, we'll repair or replace it." Smithey also runs a paid factory restoration service that strips old seasoning, removes rust, smooths the surface if needed and re-seasons the piece, so a neglected pan can come back instead of going in the trash.
