one of the reviews said it came seasoned. Do you get the option?

There was no option as I recall-- This pan should be seasoned several times prior to use--it does NOT have a really smooth service!

Pretty sure it did not. I always season a new this type of pan with a thin coating of PEANUT oil. Visit YOUTUBE for several demos.

We had a couple things stick the first time, but as it became more seasoned it's been wonderful. I think it just takes time...my wife uses only cast iron and she says it takes time.

I cracked it on an electric stove so has might be worse. Yes it should be seasoned. Problem with these low-fired clay units is that you really cannot crank up the heat to brown the meat. I wound up buying a bigger high-fire tagine by Henri.

Mine did. Took a little prep before it was ready to use, but I have no complaints. I aged my rum in it. Turned out awesome!

I'm not sure I know what you mean...this set has a ceramic, non stick, coating, so I wouldn't think it needs to be seasoned. It's not like cast iron. Hope this helps!

The grill does not need to be seasoned. So far, this is a very good grill.... I have had stove top grills crack on my electric range.This one seems great.

The instruction sheet does say to season it. It only takes a couple of minutes.

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

My wok actually came with a paper telling you how to season it. I followed the directions and it seemed to work pretty well.

No, you will have to season the top yourself. Its a great unit in my opinion.

A little rough but not gritty. My came rough but seasoned well and have used often. Not sure why yours is gritty

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

No one really knows for sure. But mine (2011) came with with a nice insert on how to season it and did mention that it was made in the US. Did I get fooled? Possibly. It's still a nice wok and I'm happy with it.

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.

Hello Kip, It says it comes pre-seasoned, and after using it the very first time, it appears that it is. However, I purchased a flat skillet from the same company (Lodge) and although that one said it was pre-seasoned I still had to season it more since my pancakes still stuck a little. So, you MAY have to season it a little more. But it is a great grill. I bought Lodge's silicone handles, too, as the handles do get hot.

If it is seasoned and cared for according to factory directions it works great. It took a few weeks of regular cooking beforeeggs slid out easily but I love mine and have gotten these as gifts for other cooks in the family. We all love them.

I'm not sure what it was "pre-seasoned" with, but I went ahead and did a hot water scrub, rapid dry and re-seasoning with a combination of coconut and canola oil.
