Long awaited pan & lid!

Great pan. Still breaking it in & getting used to it. I cooked a dish last evening that required adding a sauce at the end & mix with the meat & mushrooms well. I had to keep it warm while the rice was finishing & I tossed the salad. I turned the stove off & put the lid on. The sauce did not curdle. The dish was perfect. I follow the seasoning & cleaning instructions & the pena is building.

Birthday gift for a relative. He loves it.

Pretty design.

Well made and heavy duty skillet. Great shaped pan with lid. Must keep well greased to avoid rust build up.

Lovely cast iron skillet, I really appreciate that it has a cover and will go from stove top to oven.

So glad I finally bought it!

Love the sturdy, quick heat, great handle design and cooks food really well.

Too heavy to be practical!

I received the twelve inch skillet and lid for a Christmas gift and would never think of returning it but I must say, it is WAY too heavy (over 13 lbs when it's empty!) for me to be able to comfortably use. I am in my seventies and use many iron skillets in my cooking. I can find no reason for the lid to made of cast iron; an aluminum or stainless steel lid would be so much easier and more practical! Two stars because it does cook well (though no better than my new or old Lodge skillets). The "corners" are supposed to facilitate pouring but it is very difficult to lift it high enough to pour from it when it is full and when I am able to pour liquids do not pour "true" - they make quit a mess. It is my least favorite iron skillet.

A bit over-hyped

Looks great, really doesn’t function much better than a cheap lodge cast iron. The smooth surface is great for some things but definitely not worth the price and I find myself reaching for other cast irons most times.

The best skillet I've ever used. Nothing else compares.

I've been cooking on a serious level for about 20 years, including selling my homemade food, and this skillet has become my absolute favorite.

Rusting. Difficult to clean

Yellow rust in soup. Difficult to clean, smells like rust.

Worth it

Great weight, unique design. Rapid cool handle works well.

Great pan. Sturdy. Like that the handle to the pan doesn’t heat up, however, the lid handle gets very hot. Caution.

Absolutely perfect!

This has become my one and only perfect skillet once it arrived. After only a few times of seasoning, it is almost a non-stick skillet, better than any of the Staub pans that I own. It is also aesthetically pleasing, like a piece of art in the kitchen! Now cooking becomes a joy with this skillet. I regret not buying it earlier! I will definitely add another Finex skillet in the near future!

Better Than Expected

By far the most amazing cast iron skillet I have ever used. Really love the bronze, stainless and brass look. 10" size is perfect and the lid seals well or can be offset to release steam. The coiled handle stays cool but you need to be careful not to touch other parts.The polished bottom makes it easy to season. I wasn't sure about the price initially but am much happier with this investment than I anticipated.

my favorite pan

It takes a little while to heat up, but once it's hot, it cooks beautifully adding a nice crunch. Its also perfect on a lower temperature with the lid, for re heating cinnamon rolls keeping them perfectly moist, but not soggy.

Fantastic!!!! Top of the line !! Couldn’t get better than this

Beautiful and cooks really well

I purchased the 10” with the lid at my local William and Sonoma store as a floor model. The craftsmanship is amazing and you can tell it is something you can pass down as an heirloom. The only thing I don’t like is that the end of the handle that is meant to be a hook can loose its gold color. I seared a steak and stuck it in the oven when my I noticed the gold color had changed. The seasoning on the skillet is better and easier to maintain then other high end brands. Overall a heavy, sturdy, and well made modern cast iron skillet

Got it a couple months ago and been loving it ever since! You just can’t beat the sear you get from the finex cast iron!

This is an awesome piece!!! All my old cast iron is out. This is a work horse of a skillet and going to get another piece of Finex for sure. Just deciding which one is the problem!

STUNNING Cast Iron Skillet!

I absolutely love Cast Iron, and I have owned lots of different pieces, from high end pieces to low end Lodge brands. This is the most beautiful piece I have ever owned, and in terms of functionality, it’s perfect. It’s a smooth finish like a Smithey, and cooks just as beautifully, if not better (especially due to the octagonal shape for pouring and steaming). Worth every penny I paid.
