Does it need seasoning? If so, how do you do it?

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.

With cast iron, you have to season by rubbing some oil on the inside of the pan & putting on a low heat burner for a bit before you use it. It needs to be done a few times - you will see it build up & more so the more you use it & never let it soak in water!!! This is a pre-seasoned pan (so you DON'T have to do the seasoning). I got it as a gift & it was shipped to that person - so, never got to see the pan or any of the literature that came with it - you will need to ask the manufacturer how they season it & what is used in the process of the seansoning.

I'm sorry, i've not attempted that recipe. I've used it sparingly but each time, it's been perfect. Good luck!

You don't use seasoning at all, you use cooking oil. It is just called seasoning. Do a search on the internet of, "how to season cast iron", to see what I'm talking about. Good luck and never, ever use soap to clean cast iron cookware.

No, you do not have to season it. It will rust. Applying some cooking oil to the grate before/after cooking will do a lot towards keeping the rust off. In time, it will develop a "seasoning" coating on the grill sort of like what develops on a cast iron skillet.

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

I would season it first-you can find good instructions on Internet. I soaked mine in eater the tub overnight then put it in oven on low heat for several hours-can't remember if I rubbed with olive oil or not

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.

I second what many others have said: no soap. Just scrub food off when it is still warm. Then I spray it with cooking oil to keep working at the seasoning.

To season the pan use a good vegetable oil and table salt. Oil the cooking surface of the pan well, put enough salt on the oil that you can see the salt easily. Then place the pan in an oven, turn on the oven,heat to approximately 400 degrees for an hour, turn off the oven and when cool remove the pan and rub well with burlap or any good rough cloth and rinse the pan clean. There are other seasoning methods but I have found this to work the best for me.

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.

There should have been instructions on how to season the pan. You heat the pan up, put in a tablespoon of oil and rub it all around the inside. Let the pan cool for 5minutes, and repeat. Do this 3 times. This makes the pan non-stick. When you wash it, don't use soap or anything abrasive. Just gently scrub, avoid soap, and rinse. Towel dry. Occasionally you will want to season it with heat and oil as before, like cast iron. Do not put in the dishwasher. Hope this helps.

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 usually line it with foil before I use it. I still get build up on the rack itself but I try to think of it as "seasoning" :)

No seasoning reuired. It has a wonderful non-stick interior that works perfectly first time out. I absolutely love this pot.

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.
