Know before you buy
No, this specific model is not compatible with induction cooktops. It is designed for use on gas and electric stovetops, as well as in the oven.
Yes, Finex cast iron cookware comes pre-seasoned with organic flaxseed oil. You can begin cooking with it immediately, though the non-stick properties will improve with regular use and proper care.
You should hand wash the pot using warm water and a stiff brush or chainmail scrubber. Avoid using harsh detergents or soaking it, and always dry it thoroughly on the stovetop before applying a light coat of oil to prevent rust.
Because the handle is made of solid cast iron, it will get hot along with the rest of the pot. Always use a dry oven mitt or a thick kitchen towel when moving the pot on the stovetop or removing it from the oven.
This pot is best suited for small-batch tasks like melting butter, simmering delicate sauces, or preparing individual portions of grains and sides. If you frequently cook for more than two people, you may find its 5-inch diameter limiting for larger recipes.
