Is the FINEX 12-inch skillet pre-seasoned before first use?
Yes. FINEX says the cast-iron skillet is pre-seasoned with organic flaxseed oil and ready to cook with out of the box. For the first few uses, the care guidance recommends using a little more oil while the seasoning develops and postponing acidic foods initially.
How should the FINEX cast-iron skillet be cleaned and stored?
Wash it by hand with warm water immediately after use, while it is still warm if practical. Do not soak it, leave it in the sink, or place it in a dishwasher. After cleaning, wipe it dry, apply a light coating of oil, and warm it on the stove or in the oven to evaporate moisture.
What cooking surfaces and heat sources are compatible with this skillet?
The skillet is designed for stovetops, including induction, and can also be used in an oven, on a grill, or over an open flame. FINEX says its cookware is intended for any cooking surface, but recommends consulting the stove manufacturer for glass-top use.
Does the FINEX skillet have a temperature limit?
FINEX's FAQ says its cast-iron cookware can handle pizza ovens at 900–1,000 degrees. For other appliances and cooking setups, follow the appliance maker's instructions and use appropriate protection when handling hot cast iron.
What does the FINEX Good Forever Guarantee cover?
If the cookware fails, FINEX says it will evaluate the product and repair or replace it. The company states that it will attempt repair before replacement and provide an equivalent product if the original is no longer available. Abuse, theft, and loss are excluded.
What are the skillet's cooking-surface dimensions and weight?
The 12-inch model has a 9.25-inch cooking surface and measures 18.75 inches long by 12 inches wide by 2.25 inches high. FINEX lists its weight as 8.5 pounds, so buyers should account for that weight when lifting or storing it.
