Does this pan require additional "seasoning"? What are the care and/cleaning requirements?

It doesn't require any seasoning. You can cook on it right out of the box. According to the instructions, you generally shouldn't scrub it all that much. If anything sticks, my experience has been that a little hot water will take it right off. A seasoning layer will build up on it, and thats totally normal and doesnt need to be removed.

You have to cook in it a lot. I noticed a big difference after a month. Especially with eggs. Don't do scrambled eggs for a. It or you will be spending a lot of time cleaning. But fried eggs with a bit of butter is much easier to clean and get the pan to become non stick. Cleaning is simple just soap and waster. I avoided the dishwasher, because I didn't t want the seasoning to fully come off.

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!

The interior is coated too with enamel and therefore does not require seasoning.

Sorry I can't help you. I've only used mine a couple of times and have had no problem cleaning it. Did you grease and/or flour the pan first?

Yes which is the reason I bought it. One less pan to wash. However the non- stick surface is very delicate - only use a wood or silicone spatula. They were good enough to replace mine after two uses when it was coming off.

I don't use anything additional and have had great success. I used to spray our old pan but found it is not necessary with these pans( and I don't think they recommend it). This is the best pan I have ever used.

No idea about the seasoning, but there is no Teflon or coating on it. Mine does rust if not cleaned and seasoned after every use.. Its really not any different than the Lodge pan's I have.. Well worth the investment..

Non stick pans do not requite seasoning. Only cast iron pans need seasoning or non coated metals

It's supposedly already seasoned and as you cook with it with any oil it get more seasoned. Just soak it a bit in water after cooking something, scrape off the cooked food and scrub with soft scrubby, wipe dry and it's ready for next use. Really nice pan that does it all.

It is like a teflon coating, it can scratch, I like using mine to cook with it is heavy but nice. no seasoning required...

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.

I don't think there is seasoning for this cookware. Cast iron needs seasoning but not stainless

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

I didn't and still love ours. Use it all the time. It is showing some signs of wear but less than other high quality non-stick pans.

No, I consider it much better then non stick. It is heavy enough and polished finish so cleaning is not a problem at all.

Not at all. Just wash with soap and hot water like you would any other new pan and then season. This is a great wok and will last for a long time.

It's non stick, so no cooking spray is required. Although before the first use they say to "season" both sides with butter, but you basically put it on and wipe it off. But after that there should be no butter/cooking spray/grease required.

I haven't tried to season this pan though I don't see why you couldn't. Seasoning has to be redone if you wash the pan in a dishwasher or scour it. Once you season just some warm water and a lil soap should be all you need. If things still stick you can clean the pan with a lil "Barkeepers friend". Though if you have to resort to Barkeepers friend you are either going to have live with things sticking, or reseason the pan. Barkeepers Friend is a powder that comes in what looks like a small comet can. You can find it at Bed Bath & Beyond.
