What is this pan pre-seasoned with? Does it arrive like this or is pre-seasoning a step you do on your own?

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

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

Not sure what it was pre-seasoned with but I recommend doing your own seasoning before cooking. There's instructions with the packaging so you can follow that if unsure. I'm still happy with mine after months of use!

Yes, it comes pre-seasoned. There are detailed instructions printed on the cardboard package that faces the pan. You only have to do this once. If you have already tossed out the instructions, let me know & I will go over it with you. After use, since meat has to sit for 5 minutes before you cut into it, that is a perfect time to run your hot pan under hot water (tilt it so when it spits it doesn't hit you). Use a scraper or a brush (NO SOAP!) to get off the extra bits & dry immediately. I set it back on the burner I just used, which is still a little warm. You can re-oil it with a little Pam or, better yet, throw in a bit of lard or clarified butter & remove excess with a paper towel or a chunk of paper sack. Your pan is ready to use again. I love this pan!

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!

It is seasoned with paraffin wax. You'll need to re-season it, once you receive it.

Appears to be standard seasoning technique for "preseasoned" cast iron cookware. I washed mine with soap and water before installing it on my grill. I have used it several times now and after each use cleaned it with a wire brush. Cleans easy and effectively and has retained its non-stickiness.

maybe you forget to seasoned the pan before using it, because it happened to me when i bought that item. if you do not know how to do it, just put some oil all over the pan and heat it, until hot, then reduce the heat and you can already use it. after using just wash with water, but if you used soap do not forget to rub some oil after dry.

There are directions given with the pan when you purchase. I used Canola oil. I placed a teaspoon of oil in the pan and made certain to cover the entire inside of the pan. I placed the pan in a warm oven 250 degree Farenheight. For the time specified in the directions one hour. This is how you season a pan. You cannot wash the pan in soapy water as this will undo the seasoning. I rinse and scrape my pan with hot water to clean it.If needed I add a drop of Canola oil to re season it. Please read and follow directions given with the pan.

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

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!

Love the pan. Just make sure you keep it seasoned well. Oil shouldn't build up, you clean it and season it after each use. At least I do.

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.

I don't season it every time. At first you may need to, but the seasoned surface becomes quite resilient over time (from cooking as mush as repeated seasoning), and usually I just wipe out the pan, leaving a little oil in it, and then "scrub" it with kosher salt and a wadded up paper towel. A well seasoned pan has the best non-stick surface there is, and it really doesn't take that much maintenance once you've established a good surface through use.

It is cast iron, so it needs seasoning before use. It may have been pre-seasoned, but I did it myself anyway. It is easy to do.

It's neither pre-seasoned nor non-stick. It's enameled. Needs seasoning frequently.

This is already seasoned before you get it. So you don't have to season it...

It does not have a nonstick coating. You have to season it yourself, but very good instructions are included.

Yes. I've read that all non stick pans need to be pre seasoned so I did with all of my orgeenics. Spray with non stick spray and wipe the excess with a paper towel. Don't wipe it all off. Then put it on the burner and turn the burner on medium. Leave it on for about 10-15 minutes. Watch it as different stoves have different "mediums". Great pan.

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.

No. When I cook with it I use oil or butter depending on the recipe so food doesn't stick. It arrives seasoned (oiled) and you need to oil it after each use to preserve it. It is cast iron after all and could rust. If it didn't come seasoned you would need to season it yourself which is somewhat time consuming. I highly recommend pre-seasoned. Best quality cookware ever!
