FINEX 12" Cast Iron Skillet, Modern Heirloom, Handcrafted in The USA, Pre-Seasoned with Organic Flaxseed Oil

Had to be the highest quality commercial cast option available. Went with this brand due to the handle style allowing you to move or grab the pan without burning yourself. The “spring” handles will get hot but take a very long time to get there. Most cooks I do they are still cool enough to grasp. Just don’t touch any other part of the pan. I see a lot of comments about the pan not taking a seasoning easily, while that is true, it is a non issue. It has a very smooth machined surface and does not need a heavy seasoning.

I ended up buying the entire set from FINEX, along with their cleaning kit, and I’m really happy with the decision. This 15" cast iron grill pan is sturdy and beautifully crafted. The pre-seasoning with organic flaxseed oil made it ready to use right out of the box, and it holds heat very well. The handle is comfortable to grip, and the pan's design is both functional and stylish. I’ve used it for everything from steaks to veggies, and the results have been fantastic. The cleaning kit makes maintenance easy, helping to preserve the seasoning. Overall, this is a high-quality, long-lasting investment for anyone who loves to cook with cast iron. Highly recommend it!

This pan is a piece of art. Reminiscent of the old time Griswold pans. Machined smooth inside, although there are some slight concentric ridges from what I would guess are CNC tooling marks. The pan has seasoned very well though regular usage and oiling. It's getting close to the non-stick seasoning of my antique cast iron pans. Fish doesn't stick to it now and it's only getting better. Eggs are nearly stick-free, probably only a month before eggs won't stick. This pan is very durable and will be a family heirloom. It is heavy though! But that's cast iron!

This is the easiest, most beautiful cast iron skillet I've ever owned! I had almost given up on using cast iron products because I could never figure out how to properly care for them. This smooth skillet is so easy to clean and the food tastes SO good! I am thinking of buying more sizes so I have a whole set.

Finex is amazing, I have several pieces. They are one of those rare companies that over engineer their products and don’t apologize for the price. Sure you can find a Lodge pan for under $50 but if you want the “coolest” cast iron pan on the market with a milled smooth cooking surface and those incredible spring handles, splurge and get Finex. It makes a difference.

Excellent pan. I use it 2 to 3 times a week. Before first use, I added to the seasoning, just my preference. It heats well and is easy to clean after use.

Using my old Lodge cast iron was like riding around in an old, reliable pickup truck. It got me from point A to point B. Using my Finex 14 inch cast iron skillet for the first time was like upgrading to a Rolls Royce. Now I'm getting from point A to point B in STYLE.

DEEP ROUGH GROOVES ON THE COOKING SURFACE. Marks of the CNC machines tool. A half of the surface is smooth and the other half is way too rough. This shouldn't pass the quality control and should be marked as factory second and sold for 50 % off or maybe 60 or 70% off. Not as high end product for high end price. The seller Pattern Professional and the shipper Amazon (maybe ups) did excellent job. All this is on the producer. I usually make one review every a few years but in this case I had to let you know guys. Update 8/22/24 I ordered another one from Finex directly and it came in good condition. No crazy grooves like this one. This one must be the quality control didn’t pick up the production machine mistake. I will try to make the cooking surface even smoother, like a glass.. I believe considering the price the producer should include one more step , a finer tool on the production line and make it smoother. But still this is high quality product.

Quality product and good customer service.

It says it’s a skillet in the description, but it’s actually just the lid. Good customer service. Although I’ve sent it back but have not received money back.

Die Pfanne leitet die Wärme gut, hat eine gleichmäßige glatte Oberfläche und ist insgesamt kompakt genug, um in die meisten Backöfen zu passen. Der einzige Nachteil ist der Griff, der länger sein könnte, da er an der Spitze heiß wird. Mittelgroße bis große Hände werden damit in Berührung kommen. Trotz des Nachteils ist dies immer noch eine Fünf-Sterne-Pfanne und jeden Cent wert.

This was a Christmas gift for my daughter and she loved it.

Pan is quite small! Cooking surface is less than 6". We had to pay return postage also
