What customers say
Customers highly value the Finex 8-inch skillet for its heirloom quality and superior design. The ultra-smooth cooking surface is frequently praised, simplifying seasoning and creating a naturally nonstick finish that enhances with use.

Know before you buy
The Finex skillet comes pre-seasoned with organic flaxseed oil, so it is ready to use right out of the box. However, continuing to build your own seasoning layer over time will only improve its non-stick performance.
Yes, this skillet is fully compatible with induction cooktops. Its heavy-duty cast iron construction provides excellent heat retention and even distribution on induction surfaces.
Hand wash the skillet with warm water and a stiff brush or non-metal scraper. Avoid soaking it or using harsh detergents, and always dry it thoroughly on the stovetop over low heat before applying a light coat of oil to prevent rust.
The self-basting rings are designed to collect condensation from steam during the cooking process and redistribute it back onto your food. This helps keep meats and vegetables moist and flavorful without needing to manually baste.
The skillet features an ergonomic 'Speed Cool' stainless steel spring handle designed to dissipate heat faster than traditional cast iron handles. While it stays cooler longer, it can still get hot, so we recommend keeping an oven mitt nearby.
Yes, the durable cast iron surface is tough enough to handle metal spatulas and whisks. Unlike non-stick coated pans, you don't have to worry about scratching or peeling the surface.
