Mine did not come with any washing/seasoning or safety instructions? Don't they need to be seasoned to remain nonstick and if so how and with what?

They do not need to be seasoned to remain nonstick. Wash them before use and I use a non scratch sponge and dawn soap. And for safety keep your toes out of the way it hurts dropping one of these pans on your toes lol

I just hand wash mine, if it needs scrubbed I use a plastic mesh scrubber. I've never treated it for non-stick since they're ceramic coated interior. Not had any issues with sticking as long as the food isn't burnt to it.

I don't know. I've never done anything to mine except use them (I don't cook a lot) but they are still in good shape and stick free.

Mine didn't either. I wish I hadn't purchased these pans. They aren't good. The non stick doesn't last.I think the coating may be to thin. I hand wash with dish soap and a doobie sponge made for this type of cleaning.The pots are good for liquid type things that don't stick. I never go above 4 on my cooktop stove. Mostly 3. My stove goes to 10.

the directions are in the box, first you have to season them in the oven and after use you just wash and dry

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!

I did not season mine and would tend to say no they do not need seasoning. This is my second one and I did not season the first one either , have not read anything in the instructions about them needing seasoning. Enjoy we love our pizza stone

Lisa...I've never had to season any of my 3 skillets before use. I really like these skillets. Don't get them too hot. No need to do that. They distribute heat very evenly. After cooking something such as scrambled eggs, you may need to soak the pan briefly in hot, soapy water and use a teflon pad to get any residual food off. Some people report difficulty with this, but I follow the manufacturer's instructions and have never had any trouble getting any of my skillets back to a "brand new" condition as far as cleanliness. Best, Susan

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 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.

No but truly are nonstick and we have never had a problem cleaning them easily with a washcloth or sponge.

I tried to Google for help, and found some discussions but no definitive instructions - 1. Good cleaning with warm/hot water. 2. Cracking the stone bowl seems to be a real concern, and I can see the possibility with fast uneven heating of the bowl if it has a crack in it already. 3. No seasoning is necessary as with the cast iron cookwares.

I have washed them by hand and in dishwasher and they appear to be very dishwasher safe. I've only put the cookie sheets in the dishwasher and they come out clean and the non-stick finish looks and performs the same as when new. Because the finish is "non-stick" if there is something burnt or stuck on the pan, running warm water to cover and soak it for a few minutes followed by a gentle scrub with a brush cleans the pans easily.

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

I seasoned mine on a burner of my gas stove. A BBQ grill might work, too, you're right that the handles don't come off.

No it's not seasoned, simple spray it inside and out with cooking oil,, or just lightly coat it by hand. Then at about 150 degrees in oven for about 6 hours take it out and wipe it down, and it is seasoned. never wash it with any kind of soap, the season will be washed off but dry it and apply another light coat of oil. Usually just some cooking oil on a paper towel, not much, you will be able to see were it's getting covered.

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.

Hi Michael. Probably not the answer you were looking for, but just to say. I don't recall the instructions saying anything about seasoning the pan. And so I never seasoned mine, and it works just fine, I find. So I don't think you need to worry about it. I've used mine many many times, mostly making crepes, and I've never seen any loss of teflon, any stain, or any damage. Just my 2 cents.

There were NO INSTRUCTIONS about seasoning the pan. Matter of fact there were NO instructions at all! I didn't do anything other than take it out of the box, washed it and I have used it. It cleans up just fine! NO PROBLEM.........YET !!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't think it's recommended to wash them in the dishwasher in order to protect the nonstick coating. But the nonstick coating works so well, washing by hand is a breeze. I rarely if ever have to let them soak beforehand, any cooking residue just comes right off with soap and water.
