What does it mean "seasoned new pan first"? How do you season it?

Oil up the pan with what ever type of cooking oil you like to use ( I am a coconut oil user) heat up the pan to cooking temp and make sure you don't burn the oil. Let the pan cool. Rinse the pan and your ready to use!

The pan comes pre-seasoned, but I normally add a thin coat of oil to entire inside of pan and heat it in the oven at 300 degrees F for about an hour. Also, do not "wash" this pan. Scrape and rinse only. Directions should come included in the box.

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. Sorry I couldn't help you more. Thanks, D.Wertz 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.

There is something in the instructions about seasonin with oil I think but I don't remember. I cleaned with a mild detergent (I only use seventh generation so it's very green and safe). Once you use it a few times it's like a cast iron pan; it builds up seasoning. Do a google on how to properly season a paella pan. Hope I helped

When it arrived I seasoned it like any cast iron fry pan. I still season it once every month this seems to work for me. Hope that answer is helpful.

Yes! That is the pan being seasoned. Do not try to clean the black off. The black is the nonstickness. Only clean the pan with water. Don't use a soap/detergent. It is an awesome pan!

It's been awhile but as I recall, it does come with a little insert thing that talks about how to season it --- basically by grinding dry corn or beans and baking it. I also ground used dried garlic, comino seeds and dried onion . I will say this though...to get a really great finish is going take time and repeated applications...if you are in a great hurry, you might want something else. In my mind, these are heirloom pieces of kitchenware that are meant to last a lifetime and passed down. They get better with age! Recipe booklet...not one that I remember, sorry...but any combo of yumminess will work. Just rinse out after the fact and bake dry thoroughly. Luck!

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!

One is ready to use because the manufacturer pre-seasoned it, the other isn't ready till the user pre-seasons it before cooking. The pre-seasoning consists of greasing the skillet and baking it for a specified amount of time. Contact the manufacturer for instructions.

You don't have to re-season, it is pre-seasoned and ready to use. It is specified in the product description.

Not sure what it was pre-seasoned with but I recommend doing your own seasoning before cooking. There's instructions with the packaging so you can follow that if unsure. I'm still happy with mine after months of use!

In the Use & Care instruction manual that accompanies the pot, it says, "For cookware with a non-stick interior, it recommended to 'season' the pan prior to the first use...and after every 10 dishwasher cycles or if accidental overheating occurs. Heat pan on low for 30 seconds, remove heat and put one tablespoon of vegetable oil in pot. Rub oil over the entire surface with a paper towel."

Unfortunately this waffle iron is not preseasoned when you get it. Before you use it you must season it yourself. There are several good videos on Youtube on how to do this. Basically it should be seasoned just like any other cast iron cookware. Rinse lightly to remove packing dust. Then dry it thoroughly and lightly brush it with olive oil or bacon fat. Place it in your oven at about 350 degrees for at least one hour. Shut the oven off and let it cool completely before using. Oh yes, very important, unscrew and remove the wooden handles before seasoning the iron. Put them back on after the iron has completely cooled.

You must preseason the pan yourself. Just use vegetable oil and paper towel

It comes seasoned. I wash it with warm water and no soap stainless steel scrubbing pads. Never use soap. You want it to retain the oils. Before i cook with it i coat it with oil , any cooking oil. Then i cook with it, clean it like i said, towel dry and put it away. If you don't cook with it for a really long time and notice rust.... You can scrub it with the stainless pads, wash with soap, towel dry, coat pan all over with vegetable oil and bake at 350° for an hour. Let cool, then wash with warm water and soapless stainless steel pads, just to get the excess oil off... Your ready to cook again! It comes seasoned.
