Reddit take

Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • Lodge makes Finex, and Finex offers polished cookware
  • It's a Finex, a modern Lodge, a 3 notch Lodge, a no notch Lodge, a LBL Griswold, and a Wagner with a stylized logo.
  • The finex is a little flashy for me but for a gift, it's perfect

Cons

  • There's also fancy brands like Finex and Butter Pat that cost 200+ for a new skillet which is insane but people swear they're better.
  • Parent context: I had no idea! Wild that they make both a standard, bland, but great pan and then... Finex.... Ewww Reply: I had no idea! Wild that they make both a standard, bland, but great pan and then... Finex.... Ewww
  • And frankly, I find finex to generally just be ugly.
  • That’s a smoking deal for a finex. But I don’t like those types of pans either.
  • Parent context: Yah I saw a finex at marshalls the other day too. Was still more money than a lodge, really didn't see the point in buying it. Reply: The Finex pans found at Marshalls are factory seconds that weren’t machined smooth like...

Reply: The Finex pans found at Marshalls are factory seconds that weren’t machined smooth like the ones that retail for $200. The textured surface is no different than a Lodge.

It outperforms my Finex.

My grandmother bought me the 12” pan and their griddle, and holy shit is that thing heavy. I don’t work out, but I am active (bike 2 miles to school, ski frequently, mountain biking, going on hikes) and I can’t hold the pan horizontal with one arm for more than 5 seconds. If there’s food in it, I need both hands. The handle design doesn’t work as well as I wish it did, the coils heat up much slower but the end of the handle heats up very fast. The octagonal design is neat, does make pouring easier. Like OP said, would I buy this for myself? Hell no, Lodge cast irons work the same, but it is a lovely gift, and I make some damn good meals in it
