Does it come pre-seasoned?

Hmmmm I think yes, I would say is was dark. I didn't do anything to it. Just used it right away. It is for me perfect for cooking in the fireplace. I can prop it on my andirons/grate and do Bistecca. Or I can rake the coals out and cook further out on the hearth. The handle takes a few tries, but once you understand it works fine. To clean it I let the fire cook off the bits. But you can clean it with a wire brush easily by brushing back and forth. GOOD LUCK!

Well, yes but this is a cast iron pan and despite the advertisements saying it's pre-seasoned, you really should season it yourself to get the best use out of it.

According to the instructions that come with the wok it needs to be seasoned before and after cooking for the first few times.

It is a new pot. These pot's are pre-seasoned. Nothing cooks better than cast iron and it is so easy to clean!

Hello Kip,It says it comes pre-seasoned, and after using it the very first time, it appears that it is. However, I purchased a flat skillet from the same company (Lodge) and although that one said it was pre-seasoned I still had to season it more since my pancakes still stuck a little. So, you MAY have to season it a little more. But it is a great grill. I bought Lodge's silicone handles, too, as the handles do get hot.

You really should season it first. Even if they say it's preseasoned, I think the surface benefits from seasoning by the user. Only the Lodge products really seem to be cooking ready.

i think it is ready seasoned but i am not too fond of it. i had a Pampered Chef before and it worked much better for me.

No, this was coming just well oiled. Scrub the hell out of it with strong soap, and then season...

When I bought mine from Amazon a manual didn't come with the pan. Just season the pan like you would a cast-iron pan. This is a great pan and I love mine.

Not sure what pre-seasoned is, but I just washed and started using it. I do think there is a coating on it, I thought there wasn't however I have scratched it, there is not pealing like with the TEFL coating. I really like it because it is very light weight and very very easy to clean.

Yes it is pre-seasoned, looks to be a VERY good seasoning too. Teflon is flammable, so obviously it is NOT covered with teflon.

No paint and you need to season it on a burner not in the oven, but it still needs to be seasoned.

No, but it still needs to be thorrowly washed with soap prior to seasoning.

I cannot even notice the preseasoning. It's not greasy and there is no visible seasoning on it. It is an awesome pan! I've used it to cook steaks, sauces, and deep frying. You will not regret buying, I'm going to buy more soon.

Hello Svetlana, Thank you for your inquiry. No they are not and do not need to be pre-seasoned. They are ready to use after the first wash. We do recommend using oil or margarine but nothing out of a spray can. Thank you for allowing me to be of service to you. Kind regards, Audrey Consumer Relations

No this is a non-stick pan so doesn't need to be seasoned like a regular wok.
