A smoothing or pressing or steam iron having a metallic sole-plate that comes into contact with articles to be ironed and has a series of substantially parallel ribs (6, 7) whose width and height are within the range of a few tenths of a millimeter to a few millimeters. The sole-plate has an exposed surface having a continuous anti-adhesive coating (8) selected from the group consisting of fluorocarbon resin and enamel. The coating follows the profile of the ribs. The ribs extend in a longitudinal direction of the sole-plate. Each rib has either a rounded crest or a pointed crest.
