- Is the Finex 12-inch skillet worth it over a basic cast iron pan?
- If you want a smoother cooking surface, a US-made pan and the octagonal shape, it delivers. A basic skillet cooks nearly as well for far less, so the premium buys finish and design.
- Does it work on induction and in the oven?
- Yes. Cast iron works on gas, induction and electric smooth tops, and the pan is oven safe. It is also fine over a campfire.
- How does it compare with a Lodge skillet?
- The Finex has a machined, smoother surface and a more refined shape and handle. Lodge is rougher out of the box but far cheaper and just as durable.
- Does it come with a lid?
- No. This version ships without a lid, though Finex sells compatible lids separately.
- How do I season and clean it?
- Coat it lightly with oil and heat it to build the seasoning. Wash by hand with warm water, dry it fully and rub on a thin oil layer.
- What size is the cooking surface?
- It is a 12-inch skillet, sized for two to four portions of protein or a full pan of vegetables.
