- Does the Finex skillet need seasoning?
- Yes. It is bare cast iron, so season it before first use and after washing. The polished surface takes seasoning well and becomes close to non-stick with use.
- Is the lid oven safe?
- Yes. Both the skillet and its cast iron lid are oven safe, so you can braise, bake and roast with the lid on.
- Will it work on induction?
- Yes. Cast iron works on induction, gas, electric and ceramic cooktops.
- How many people does the 8-inch size serve?
- It suits one or two people for eggs, steaks or small braises. For family meals, a 10- or 12-inch skillet is a better fit.
- How does it compare with a Lodge skillet?
- The Finex has a smoother surface, pour spouts and a lid, and it looks nicer on the table. A Lodge costs much less and is lighter, but its surface is rougher and it has no lid.
- How should I clean and store it?
- Wash by hand with hot water and a brush, dry it fully on the stove, then rub in a thin layer of oil. Store it dry, with the lid off or a paper towel between pan and lid.
