Do you have to season these with oil

I use mineral oil from the pharmacy isle on all my wood cutting boards. Rub some into the wood with a paper towel on all sides and let it absorb and dry. After a while you will be able to see when the wood needs more.

After washing them a few times they looked dried out, so I'd season them ocasionally. However, I've now found they are so thin, one started to buckle and bend when I didn't stand it on its end to dry.

Hello, no they are not in oil. They are dehydrated and dry. When used in soups, stews, etc., they will absorb the liquid and become softer.

Some lids for the pots and pans. Yes you need to oil them or non stick especially with high heat.

Follow the mfgr instructions.....apply a light coating of oil after each use. No need to re-season in the oven.

I assume you could use any high heat oil coconut oil should be ok...would not suggest olive oil or pam. I however did not season mine before using and I have yet to have any issues with them....

hi if you are cooking something with a high fat content then no but if it is not high in fat then yes but you only need to brush a bit of oil on the plate. hope this helps

Absolutely. I've made them. In less time than traditional deep-frying -- and with no oil.

No, you have to be sure to use lots of oil or something to keep things from sticking. Or you need to season them not the same way you do a cast iron skillet.

Yes. Not a problem, especially since oil would be used to season it when not in use for an extended period. Oil for seasoning is different than your normal oil. You would get mineral oil for oral use from the pharmacy. Cheaper, and it's the same oil you would buy for seasoning the board from the 'kitchen' department. I did speak with the pharmacist before I bought it.

No, they come pre oiled. I clean and oil mine about every 12 months. If you live around or drive on a lot of dirt roads clean & oil every 6-months.

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.

The instructions that came suggest lightly oiling them. I use a paper towel dipped in vegetable oil and just swirl it in each cup.

They can if not "cleaned" after use. Like cast iron, until they are deeply/thoroughly seasoned will be prone to some build up and will need more than just wiping down after use. I use kosher salt as an abrasive with an old sponge and some fresh oil with the pan being warm. Afterwards, wipe down with a very small amount of fresh vegetable oil.

Yes. Heat pan on low for 30 seconds and then put 1 Tablespoon of vegetable oil in warm pan and rub with a paper towel. I have had to re-season my pans every 3-4 months.

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.

Not that I am aware of. Almost all new cast iron comes this way now. You still need to oil each batter well with about a 1/4 t. of oil. It's just a head start on the seasoning process for cast iron now. You don't have to spend a month seasoning and curing your pan now before use. You still need to treat it as cast iron though. NO SOAP, and a light oiling before putting away. I love this pan. I use it at least a couple of times a month. Have never had an issue with my Ableskivers sticking in this pan, from the very first use.
