Does this pan require additional "seasoning"? What are the care and/cleaning requirements?

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.

You have to cook in it a lot. I noticed a big difference after a month. Especially with eggs. Don't do scrambled eggs for a. It or you will be spending a lot of time cleaning. But fried eggs with a bit of butter is much easier to clean and get the pan to become non stick. Cleaning is simple just soap and waster. I avoided the dishwasher, because I didn't t want the seasoning to fully come off.

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!

The interior is coated too with enamel and therefore does not require seasoning.

Just wash with soap and water before using. No need to season. Nonstick surface is perfect.

No! be sure to cure the pan before first use (instructions on manufacturers website) and wipe clean with a towel. if you clean with water/soap, place in warm over to dry ( or pan may rust )

I did not season it and it has now worked well for 3-4 years. I clean and use it like any other pan.

Yes. I didn't have a problem cleaning it. It's cast iron, so look up instructions for cleaning cast iron pan.

As a follow-up to the answer of September 12, the pan is pre-seasoned. I use an inexpensive olive oil (not extra virgin). it seems to work well using the same technique described in the first answer.

You don't need to season a stainless pan though some do. I don't. But I mostly pan fries stuff and the preheating process with oil is similar to the seasoning process anyway. For things stuck, if not burnt, it is easily soaked and cleaned. For burnt on, I use the barkeepers friend to clean it up. Not really difficult.I am not a chef, so my opinions worth 2 cents.

Sounds like you are thinking of cast iron "seasoning", which this does not need. This has a nonstick coating on it that simply requires soap and water when you clean it. Easy!

No you don't need to season the pan. I'm not having any problems with this set. Its great!

It's non stick, so no cooking spray is required. Although before the first use they say to "season" both sides with butter, but you basically put it on and wipe it off. But after that there should be no butter/cooking spray/grease required.

No, it is pre-seasoned cast iron and if properly seasoned does not need Teflon. I suggest that you look at the manufactures web site for instructions on seasoning.

Clean the pan thoroughly with soap and water and oil it well with olive oil. Oil after every use.

It is not pre-seasoned, but coated with beeswax or something similar. We etch trophies, so we didn't need to season it, but there is help for that if you search online. Best of luck. Botcha-Caloops

By that i guess you want to know, if it needs any special care while maintaining/ usage - The answer is none. care/ handling/ use is similar to any other stainless steel utensil.

Yes, although this pan does not need to be "seasoned." The oil is part of the cooking process.

Non stick pans do not requite seasoning. Only cast iron pans need seasoning or non coated metals

It is supposed to have oil stains, this is what happens when this type of pan is "seasoned". Just go ahead and follow the directions for a complete treatment and should be amazed and its non-stick qualities...ours is amazing!
