Heat skillet till just warm. Add enough vegetable oil to just coat the inside of the pan. Swirl the oil to evenly coat the surface. Heat oil untill ripples beginto apper on the oils surface.Turn off skillet and remove oil Let pan cool to room tempurature. Good luck with your skillet. Mine started pealing teflon on first use. I used a spatula for teflon pans. A substantual amount came off. Because there was no information with it as to where to return it , I just threw it away. Hope yours is better.

A nonstick pan does not have to be seasoned. This is a very poor quality pan and can cause serious burns. I threw mine away.

Mine began to chip non-stick finish after only a few uses. Don't remember if I threw it away or sent back for refund. To season pan, pour a tablespoon vegetable oil in pan and spread fully with a paper towel.

Not sure of the correct method but I always allow pans to cool before washing them. So far, so good.

I do the same as James and Amy: Use water and a stiff nylon bristled brush, towel dry and finish drying over a burner. Then coat with cooking oil.

Hi you need to season it the first time you use it. Directions come with the oven. It is great. I use it all of the time.

Just like you would a cast iron skillet... mild soap and water, rinse throughly, dry immediately, and reseason with vegetable oil.

Greetings, No seasoning required. We did a good cleaning before using to remove any sealers or debris.For cleaning, just regular care with no abrasive substances. Let the pan cool a bit before washing. We use the Le Creuset cleaner for the colored surfaces which occasionally get some burned fluid on them.Enjoy!

Wash the pan well with dish detergent and warm water, then dry it. Before using the pan the first time, fold a paper towel into a small square and use to apply a very thin coating of vegetable oil. That is all there is to it.

Just wash it lightly and spray some Pam before you set it on the burners. It doesn't need to be seasoned like a cast iron pan or anything like that.

With cast iron, you have to season by rubbing some oil on the inside of the pan & putting on a low heat burner for a bit before you use it. It needs to be done a few times - you will see it build up & more so the more you use it & never let it soak in water!!! This is a pre-seasoned pan (so you DON'T have to do the seasoning). I got it as a gift & it was shipped to that person - so, never got to see the pan or any of the literature that came with it - you will need to ask the manufacturer how they season it & what is used in the process of the seansoning. Sorry I couldn't help you more. Thanks, D.Wertz With cast iron, you have to season by rubbing some oil on the inside of the pan & putting on a low heat burner for a bit before you use it.

I put the oil on the pan to season it as the instructions suggest, and baked it in the oven upside down on a paper towel (to catch the drippings). I seasoned it a second time. It worked well - I did leave it in there a little longer than suggested. To clean it, I just use a paper towel - the seasoning makes a finish similar to teflon coating.

maybe you forget to seasoned the pan before using it, because it happened to me when i bought that item. if you do not know how to do it, just put some oil all over the pan and heat it, until hot, then reduce the heat and you can already use it. after using just wash with water, but if you used soap do not forget to rub some oil after dry.

Just go to the DeBuyer website, they have directions for seasoning their pans etc.

Once cool I normally Lodge plastic pan scrapers. If very dirty I occasionally use water and kosher salt. Once dry apply cooking oil to prevent rusting.

We heated it up on the stove and wiped it off. You must keep it seasoned with oil any way.

Every cooking surface needs to e constantly seasoned in order to give 100 percent of what you're expecting. I spray mine with Pam or a non-stick spray every time before and even after the final wipe down after cleaning it... never had a problem with it, after so many uses, you'll see wear and tear on it, as with anything...
