Is this pre seasoned or do I have to do that myself?

Sorry I don't remember how they first came. But they are great. Just have to watch out for the handle supports as they get hot.

I have never seasoned mine, a quick spray of Pam has always been sufficient. Please note, the botton has a texture to it...some have complained about this, but I've never found it to be a problem...I just use a stiff bristle brush when I clean it up.

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.

In the specs, it says it is dishwasher safe. With that in mind, I would think it doesn't have to be seasoned.

It is preseasoned...but I still use a cooking spray on it. It takes a bit to get them right, so don't get discouraged if your first batch isn't perfect. It's a great pan!

A nonstick pan does not have to be seasoned. This is a very poor quality pan and can cause serious burns. I threw mine away.

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

One is ready to use because the manufacturer pre-seasoned it, the other isn't ready till the user pre-seasons it before cooking. The pre-seasoning consists of greasing the skillet and baking it for a specified amount of time. Contact the manufacturer for instructions.

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

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.

No, it is pre-seasoned cast iron and if properly seasoned does not need Teflon. I suggest that you look at the manufactures web site for instructions on seasoning.

There was no option as I recall-- This pan should be seasoned several times prior to use--it does NOT have a really smooth service!

Every cooking surface needs to e constantly seasoned in order to give 100 percent of what you're expecting. I spray mine with Pam or a non-stick spray every time before and even after the final wipe down after cleaning it... never had a problem with it, after so many uses, you'll see wear and tear on it, as with anything...

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, they do not need to be seasoned. They are ready to use right out of the box. Just wash them and start cooking.

I am not sure why, but my first pan came with the instructions to season it by applying a thin coating of oil and put it in a pre-heated 200 degree oven for an hour. I used extra virgin olive oil, and followed the directions and it came out great. When I bought a second pan, the directions were like yours, but I followed the first set of directions instead. I have had great success with both pans and it is certainly worth a try do it that way instead. Also, to preserve the finish, I only use rubber spatulas on both of them. I hope this helps.

As a follow-up to the answer of September 12, the pan is pre-seasoned. I use an inexpensive olive oil (not extra virgin). it seems to work well using the same technique described in the first answer.

It comes seasoned. I wash it with warm water and no soap stainless steel scrubbing pads. Never use soap. You want it to retain the oils. Before i cook with it i coat it with oil , any cooking oil. Then i cook with it, clean it like i said, towel dry and put it away. If you don't cook with it for a really long time and notice rust.... You can scrub it with the stainless pads, wash with soap, towel dry, coat pan all over with vegetable oil and bake at 350° for an hour. Let cool, then wash with warm water and soapless stainless steel pads, just to get the excess oil off... Your ready to cook again! It comes seasoned.
