The idea behind having enamel on the pan is to remove the need to season it. You can wash it as little or as much as you like, put it in the dishwasher, whatever. I've used this pan almost every day since the day I've bought it, and it shows no wear.

FYI - The enamel on my Cuisinart pan has not chipped at all, but I have several chips on the exterior (but not on the interior surface) of my Lodge pan.

I have enamel coated pans and plain cast iron. It seems to me there is a secret to liking the cast iron. You must preserve the "seasoning". I have a very stiff brush to use with cold water normally. If there is food stuck to the pan, I soak it briefly and may use hot water depending how hard it is to clean, which usually reduces the seasoning. If you have it well seasoned, it will just rinse out and will be ready for use. I put the enameled pans in the dishwasher, so that can be a quick clean up too. If you are going to make something in the pan that involves adding liquid to make a sauce, the enameled pan is better. I have enamel coated pans and plain cast iron.

Once cool I normally Lodge plastic pan scrapers. If very dirty I occasionally use water and kosher salt. Once dry apply cooking oil to prevent rusting.

I just put a little olive oil and sauce along the sides and bottom. When I use it to. Make meat loaves i do grease it. Just love this pan!

I put the oil on the pan to season it as the instructions suggest, and baked it in the oven upside down on a paper towel (to catch the drippings). I seasoned it a second time. It worked well - I did leave it in there a little longer than suggested. To clean it, I just use a paper towel - the seasoning makes a finish similar to teflon coating.

Yes - you can re-season this pan in the oven although it's not usually necessary. Cleaning the pan after each use wit hot water and a little table salt and a brush - then drying the pan before heating on the stove top. When the pan is hot to the touch but not so hot that the oil will smoke, add just enough oil to the pan so that it can be distributed evenly with a paper towel. I turn the heat to simmer and leave for a couple of minutes. That's about it - the pan is ready to go for its next use. Oven seasoning is usually reserved for pans that are brand new or neglected.

Absolutely! I have many cast-iron pans and when I want to completely remove the 'seasoning', I place my pan in the oven and turn on the self-cleaning cycle. That's over 900&#730; for 3 hours. It's very difficult to ruin a cast iron pan. Even if you see rust - which is always the fault of the person not the pan - don't toss the pan. Just pop it in the oven at the highest setting possible or self-clean. All that junk will bake off and you will be left with a gray pan. That's just the raw material. Rub a thin film of lard, crisco, or even flaxseed oil and bake for 1 hr at 400&#730;. All fixed.

I have several orgreenic pans. The instruction I have received with the products were to season them with some oil and heat in the oven. I am not sure you have to do this but it has worked great for me. I use them every day and love them; especially the clean up.

you have to season pans first heat a little then pour a little oil in pan wipe off with paper towel should do this every so often to keep pans from sticking around every 10 use or so

Here's what I remember from mine: Don't use any abrasive cleansers or scrubbers (not needed anyway because things don't stick), don't plunge the hot pan into cold water, use medium heat or less, and don't store pans on top of it unless you use the pad they provide. Oh, and no metal utensils to be used inside the pan. It's holding up very well for me - a couple of months now and no signs of wear.

If this is the first time using it, it may be just a protective coating. I would give it a good wash with soap, dry, then coat with oil and heat it until very warm then let it sit. I know for my first cast iron pan, I cleaned it well with soap and a scrub brush, then dried, oiled it and put it in the oven at 300 for an hour to season the pan

Care would be the same as any other stainless steel cooking pan. I wash it with warn soapy water, rinse, and dry it.

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..

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.

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.

Buy yourself a good set of cast iron cookware. Lodge makes the best. Use "Ringer" to clean it. After dinner, wait until the pan is warm enough to touch and add a little water. Remember, cast iron holds heat VERY well,--you may have to wait until morning. Okay. If you do it in the morning, add a little water, put the pan on the stove, and heat it until the pan is warm enough to touch, just like last night. Remove the pan from any heat and use the Ringer (scrunched up in your hand) to scrub out the cast iron. Remember--NO SOAP! Just scrub it out with the Ringer. You might have to go over some of the more tenacious bits, but just do it. This tool does the job and doesn't ruin your precious cast iron by removing the seasoning like soap would do.
