I seasoned my new tagines but think did not use enough olive oil. Can I season it again

My tagine broke into three pieces the first time I used it after seasoning it so I can't answer that question

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 use cast iron a lot and I find if it has ever been washed and scrubbed with soap it has to be re-seasoned by putting shortening or lard (not 0il) in a very light coating. If you coat it too heavy it will separate in the seasoning and you have to start over. Turn it upside down in your oven with a pan under it so if the grease drips it goes in the pan. Leave it in your oven at 350 for about an hour or two. Wash it out and dry it completely. I keep mine seasoned by sticking them in the oven every once in a while when I 'm cooking something else. I never use oil to season with, although I read where people do. The ideal thing to use is lard, that's what they used many years ago when that's all they cooked with. It works great by the way. Try not using a scrubby, instead use a stiff brush. Each time you use your pan be sure to spread a VERY LIGHT coat of Crisco or some other good shortening inside and if you stack you pans be sure to put a paper towel between them to absorb any moisture that may accumulate or it can rust. Some of my pans are over 100 years old and they are as shiny and slick as the non stick pans that aren't cast iron. After awhile you can cook with them and not need grease or oil. Rather than buy new cast iron try checking ebay and you'll find some really old pans, they made need cleaning but it's well worth the work. I just bought a one quart kettle with a wood handle and i love cooking potatoes in it. It's a wonderful piece of history to own and pass down. I don't care for the pre seasoned stuff, I like the good ole original pans.

You must preseason the pan yourself. Just use vegetable oil and paper towel

Yes you are Suppose to season it...you can use cook spra but in my opinion Crisco works best. It will stick if you don't oil.

Wash lightly with soap & sponge when still hot. You dont want to scrub too much to keep it seasoned (or reseason it).If you get rust, scrub with steel wool, rinse, dry thoroughly, then oil and begin re-seasoning.

Wirebrush and steel wool, then look online on how to season the paella pan. It should be just fine.

NO - You do NOT have to season ENAMELED Cast Iron. You should use a little cooking oils to cook with though.

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.

No. There's nothing to season. It's enamel-coated ceramic. It's safe to give it a thin oil coat, but largely unnecessary. Clean with baking soda and a firm brush.

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.

You season it in hot oil...leave it in the hot oil to season for about 20 minutes or so....use it hot, never begin with a cold iron you will never make any

Unfortunately this waffle iron is not preseasoned when you get it. Before you use it you must season it yourself. There are several good videos on Youtube on how to do this. Basically it should be seasoned just like any other cast iron cookware. Rinse lightly to remove packing dust. Then dry it thoroughly and lightly brush it with olive oil or bacon fat. Place it in your oven at about 350 degrees for at least one hour. Shut the oven off and let it cool completely before using. Oh yes, very important, unscrew and remove the wooden handles before seasoning the iron. Put them back on after the iron has completely cooled.

I think the people at Lodge ought to start using cast iron cookware, instead of making stuff up. I wouldn't Pam it or oil it once it's seasoned. That is the point of being seasoned. Besides, oil sitting in a pan? Yuck. Nasty. Just use olive oil or something when you go to cook. It's not rocket science. And if you hate my soap and water idea, just clean it with hot water. But dry it on the fire before putting away. It needs to be DRY not oiled.

There was no reason to re-season the the Dutch oven ... they season it and that was well done ... follow the clean-up as they recommend and you will have no problems ... after use just coat both the inside and out with some cooking oil on a paper napkin is all that neccessary ... it will rust if don't keep-up with a little maintenance ... otherwise the more you use it the better it gets ... Good luck and cooking.

They made special scrapers for cast iron. I would clean with warm water and the scraper, then re-season in the oven and make sure to apply extra oil to seep in afterwards.

I'm not sure what it was "pre-seasoned" with, but I went ahead and did a hot water scrub, rapid dry and re-seasoning with a combination of coconut and canola oil.
