Does this need to be seasoned?

No, it has a ceramic coating and cleans up great with water and a scrub brush.

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

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.

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.

Not sure what oil is is seasoned with, I would compare it to buying a Lodge iron skillet that has been pre-seasoned. Definitely no Teflon of any other non stick. Had some heavy rains here in GA this summer and Had covered for a few weeks. Looks like it was starting to rust which I quickly re-seasoned and good to go. You can flip two of the quarters so all the grill marks are the same way by the way.

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

I did season this pan with a little cooking oil before first time use. Although it is not specified in the instruction, it is always a good idea to do that first time.

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

It is not pre-seasoned, but coated with beeswax or something similar. We etch trophies, so we didn't need to season it, but there is help for that if you search online. Best of luck. Botcha-Caloops

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.

It is stainless steel, It doesn't need seasoned. That is just for those old heavy the cast iron ones.

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

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

Yes, although this pan does not need to be "seasoned." The oil is part of the cooking process.

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.

Does not have to be seasoned - wash with soap and water. Just remember that this is in no way a non stick pan - you need use oil or butter or whatever - otherwise you will have a lot of scrubbing to do!
