do you have to season this before use?

Not necessarily. My recommendation for any cast iron product is to cook something very greasy the first time you use it. My first time using this griddle I cooked bacon.... Works great

No pan is already seasoned, wipe with little oil and you are ready to go!!!

The Pan First has to be cleaned up, then heated for your grilled Food, which should be seasoned before.

I did not season it and it has now worked well for 3-4 years. I clean and use it like any other pan.

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.

I'm not sure if it is necessary, but I did just to be safe. I boiled mine for a few minutes before using it the first time and wash it out each time after with hot, soapy water.

I usually line it with foil before I use it. I still get build up on the rack itself but I try to think of it as "seasoning" :)

I am pretty sure you have to season it yourself, I use Pam after every use.

No. You will have to season it. Also it is too big to fit in a standard oven.

It should be part of seasoning process. Please go to YouTube to watch some videos which will tell you the seasoning process.

You do not have to season it again unless you have submerged it in water, which you shouldn't do. The natural "non-stick" coating builds up over time. Wipe out with a paper towel and scrape with a metal spatula to remove anything sticking to the surface. Wipe with oil if you have scrubbed or scraped hard. Put over high heat to sanitize if required. I have not put my my wok or my cast iron skillet in water in more than 30 years & they are my best cooking tools. If you do not use it frequently wipe it with oil occasionally.

Yes, I personally like to use a little oil/spray before cooking. Keeps the pan in new condition and food tastes better.

No it's not seasoned, simple spray it inside and out with cooking oil,, or just lightly coat it by hand. Then at about 150 degrees in oven for about 6 hours take it out and wipe it down, and it is seasoned. never wash it with any kind of soap, the season will be washed off but dry it and apply another light coat of oil. Usually just some cooking oil on a paper towel, not much, you will be able to see were it's getting covered.

Yes it must be seasoned prior to use. Go to the BeBuyer website and it has a video showing how to properly season the pan. Once properly seasoned it should be good to go for just about anything. I use it regularly for eggs, pancakes etc., my daughter uses hers regularly for crepes and both my daughters use them for pancakes.

You have to season before used and keep it dry after washing or oil it to prevent rust. Thank you

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.

It comes pre-seasoned but it recommends you to do it a few times too. I seasoned it a few times after to get the flavors to stick. Love this pan works great!

No you don't need to season the pan. I'm not having any problems with this set. Its great!

You don't need to season a stainless pan though some do. I don't. But I mostly pan fries stuff and the preheating process with oil is similar to the seasoning process anyway. For things stuck, if not burnt, it is easily soaked and cleaned. For burnt on, I use the barkeepers friend to clean it up. Not really difficult.I am not a chef, so my opinions worth 2 cents.

I am not sure since I don't have this particular wok myself.. I gave this as a gift to my daughter. She seasoned it, but never said anything about being concerned about the wooden parts in doing so. Although when I did get this item I did look in the box and the handles were not attached so I am thinking you could season it before you put the handles on.
