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 !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not at all. Just wash with soap and hot water like you would any other new pan and then season. This is a great wok and will last for a long time.

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.

You need to season it. There are a number of websites that instruct on seasoning a new iron device so I will leave that to you. But, yes, you definitely need to scrub it down and do it right. By the way, it does color up nicely.

When I received mine, I immediately seasoned it with mineral oil. I only have to rinse it with water, and dry immediately.

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.

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!

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.

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.

I am not sure since I don't have this particular wok myself.. I gave this as a gift to my daughter. She seasoned it, but never said anything about being concerned about the wooden parts in doing so. Although when I did get this item I did look in the box and the handles were not attached so I am thinking you could season it before you put the handles on.

There is no need to season the pan like you would old fashioned cast-iron cookware. Just wash it in soapy water and dry it well. Of course, you may wish to use a slight bit of oil, but it is not necessary, because the pan is absolutely non-stick.

Yes, I do use this seasoning after every use. Typically, I'll heat up the cast iron cookware a little on the stove top after I've finished cleaning it then apply a light coat.

No, but it still needs to be thorrowly washed with soap prior to seasoning.

No. The ceramic coating won't absorb anything that you might try and season it with. The ceramic coating is truly nonstick with no oils required

I did not season it. The protective coating is thick and durable. I have been using it exclusively to roast whole chickens and it perfect for it.

We heated it up on the stove and wiped it off. You must keep it seasoned with oil any way.

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