I make a lot of gumbo in this pot and making the roux really seasons it. So if you make gumbo you are already pretty much good to go.However, for my other pots I use another technique which seems to work better for for me than the oven seasoning method:1. Clean the pot after cooking. You can use soap if you need to. Make sure it is dry.2. Add a thin coat of canola oil, spreading evenly with a paper towel.3. Cook on the stove on high for about 5 minutes until it starts to smoke. Remove from heat.That's it! Done on a regular basis when you are cleaning the pots, they will build up a seasoning of multiple light coats of oil. I make a lot of gumbo in this pot and making the roux really seasons it.

You don't have to re-season, it is pre-seasoned and ready to use. It is specified in the product description.

I have not had any problems with any Lodge Logic with peeling or smelling. As long as you follow the use instructions for cast iron cookware, it will not peel or smell. I haven't read the reviews that state this, but I really have to question what they are doing with their cast iron. I have bought 5 to 10 pieces from Amazon, all Lodge Logic and only had one problem with the packing during shipment. It was not packed securely and was damaged during shipping. Other than that, I use it pre-seasoned as it comes after washing it. No issues at all with it.

Go to the Lodge website, if you don't see the answer, just email them. Very responsive company.

http://cache.smarthome.com/manuals/69130.pdf That's a link to the manual. It's tricky enough that I have to relearn it every time I leave town. Maybe I'm not leaving town enough though. Best of luck!

I have not had this issue. Did you "season" it according to the directions prior to its first use?

Just reset the button to re-heat a 2nd time. But be careful. It gets really toast. ;)

I did re-season as my stepson put it through the dishwasher. I love cooking with cast iron, inside and out. Once reseasoned. It has held up beautifully.

K. Snow, after I scorched my first one I did not have much success re-seasoning it. The bottom warped and even following LODGE's directions I could not restore good seasoning and the pan is now one of my stickier ones, regardless of how much oil, shortening, butter or PAM I use.

I did not re-season. I love this pot and I love the lid even more. I have used the lid to bake bread while fixing a meal in the pot. AMAZING pot!!!

Yes, use Loctite. When I took my original lock off it had blue Loctite on the screws. Don't use the red Loctite or you may have to drill the screws out if you ever need to replace the lock. There is a very good video on youtube made by Sargent & Greenleaf, it will guide you through the install.

I would just watch the creosote build up, and add product, till furnace looks like, it is brown inside, instead of black.pine, if not seasoned, can be messy. Once or twice a,week, after you dry tge unit your burning in, out.

Your going to have to re-season/blacken it. Fill it with oil, preferably animal fat, and put it in a 500 degree oven for about three hours or over a fire pit.

I just recently had this similar situation facing me, The StarTech wiring bezel was the only answer way to go. After having the wiring loom in hand it became apparent that you have the ability to customize just about any item wiring end or LED's color. If one of your problems is in the connectors, having a special configuration just use your old wire/connector.

I use cast iron a lot and I find if it has ever been washed and scrubbed with soap it has to be re-seasoned by putting shortening or lard (not 0il) in a very light coating. If you coat it too heavy it will separate in the seasoning and you have to start over. Turn it upside down in your oven with a pan under it so if the grease drips it goes in the pan. Leave it in your oven at 350 for about an hour or two. Wash it out and dry it completely. I keep mine seasoned by sticking them in the oven every once in a while when I 'm cooking something else. I never use oil to season with, although I read where people do. The ideal thing to use is lard, that's what they used many years ago when that's all they cooked with. It works great by the way. Try not using a scrubby, instead use a stiff brush. Each time you use your pan be sure to spread a VERY LIGHT coat of Crisco or some other good shortening inside and if you stack you pans be sure to put a paper towel between them to absorb any moisture that may accumulate or it can rust. Some of my pans are over 100 years old and they are as shiny and slick as the non stick pans that aren't cast iron. After awhile you can cook with them and not need grease or oil. Rather than buy new cast iron try checking ebay and you'll find some really old pans, they made need cleaning but it's well worth the work. I just bought a one quart kettle with a wood handle and i love cooking potatoes in it. It's a wonderful piece of history to own and pass down. I don't care for the pre seasoned stuff, I like the good ole original pans.

Select the operation you want (bake, broil, cookies, etc., not toast), then select desired temperature with up/down arrows, then select the amount of time with the up/down arrows and push convection button. This works for me.

There was no reason to re-season the the Dutch oven ... they season it and that was well done ... follow the clean-up as they recommend and you will have no problems ... after use just coat both the inside and out with some cooking oil on a paper napkin is all that neccessary ... it will rust if don't keep-up with a little maintenance ... otherwise the more you use it the better it gets ... Good luck and cooking.
