Finex is a new Northwest company who did a Kickstarter to get going. I bought in and was part of the first run of 185 skillets, all cast, machined, seasoned and assembled in Portland OR. The original ship date was before Christmas, obviously that didn't happen...lol...but they persevered and yesterday, my brand new Made In USA Cast Iron skillet arrived!
Nice packaging with the burlap bag. Down the road, maybe Finex could get the bags printed with their logo. That would be cool. I know they were just pushing to get the skillets out asap. The included a super-thin flexible turner, which worked good for the eggs.
Close ups, you can see the milling on the bottom, the spiral handle worked good to keep cool while on the stovetop and
First Meal- Breakfast! There were some bits stuck to the bottom of the pan when I took out the cooked spuds, bits of potato and some seasonings (Mrs. Dash and some CrazyGood green chile dust). I wiped out the pan with a wet towel, it didn't totally clean the pan, but I thought it was enough to cook the eggs with a bit of butter. The eggs stuck a bit to the edge (my burner isn't level so the eggs tend to go to one side rather than stay in the middle of the pan.) but I was able to get them over easy-medium without breaking. And the eggs did have a bit of grey on them, not sure if it was leftovers of the spuds and seasonings or from the pan. I didn't wash the pan prior to the first cook, just wiped it out with a wet cloth and stuck the potatoes in there with some coconut oil.
Can I get a bump please? More Pics to come!
