Smithey Ironworks 1 Qt Saucepan
It’s no secret that I love Smithey Ironworks cookware. If you aren’t familiar with Smithey, they first thing you will notice is their gorgeous vintage styled pans, but what you will love about them is that every pan is made with the highest quality materials. Each of their US Made pans have a lifetime guarantee so you truly can hand them down to your grandchildren.
RW FLAME grill for compact spaces
One of the biggest selling points of the R.W. Flame grill is how compact and versatile it is. I would say that it is ideal for 1-4 people based on the grill plate size and that it is perfect for apartment balconies or small urban yards. Even though it has a tiny footprint, the R.W. FLAME grill provides plenty of room to cook different dishes at the same time, making it perfect for small family cookouts and outdoor gatherings.
A compact and beginner-friendly espresso machine
This beginner friendly espresso machine makes some of the best coffee I’ve ever tasted. I’ve tried fancy machines and I’ve frequented many a coffee shop, but I still prefer this compact unit. It produces rich, well-extracted espresso with a consistent crema and it tastes so much smoother than other espresso machines I’ve tried in the past.

Smithey No. 10 Combo Set
Everyone here knows how much I love Smithey Ironware, right? My new favorite in their line is the Smithey No. 10 Combo Set that will easily become your everyday essential. The set is made up of Smithey’s No. 10 Skillet and No. 10 Flat Top Griddle, and each piece can both be used on their own or you can use them together as skillet and lid.
Heirloom quality cookware from Smithey Ironware
Cookware is one of those times when paying a little more for a better-quality product really pays off. After having gone through so many pots and pans in my adult life, I wish that I had found Smithey earlier and saved myself money in the long run. It’s heirloom quality cookware you will look forward to using each day.
