does it need to be seasoned with mineral oil

No....and I would not recommend it either. If it get dirty with wet dough sticking on it, just use a spatula or a scraper with the grain over the sink...and it actually makes it slicker for next time. Commercial bakeries generally do not treat their butcher blocks and if you use mineral oil...that is a petroleum made product. However, if you were to season it...perhaps lightly with olive oil.

I believe you can use it without seasoning. However, I did season mine with mineral oil shortly after I bought it. I am going to do it again soon. Very simple to do. I actually keep my on my counter. Love it.

It is recommended. I normally wipe it down with mineral oil to prevent the wood from drying out. Mine is stored in a closet and brought out when needed.

No it does not have to be seasoned. If it's a new pit it will probably be easier for you to apply the gasket, you will not have to do as much cleaning

Love the pan. Just make sure you keep it seasoned well. Oil shouldn't build up, you clean it and season it after each use. At least I do.

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

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

NO! It needs no oil at all, just put the ,ixture into both sides, cook according to directions. Makes nice fluffy omelets and they slide right out, and you just have to take a damp paper towel and wipe it clean!!

Yes - No problem. It is not lined and I would expect that at some point the "seasoning oil" will condition into it, but I'm not that worried about it.

It will need to be oiled first with either a salad bowl finish or mineral oil. We do send instructions for the oiling process with the bowls.

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!

No. When I cook with it I use oil or butter depending on the recipe so food doesn't stick. It arrives seasoned (oiled) and you need to oil it after each use to preserve it. It is cast iron after all and could rust. If it didn't come seasoned you would need to season it yourself which is somewhat time consuming. I highly recommend pre-seasoned. Best quality cookware ever!

I have never seasoned mine, a quick spray of Pam has always been sufficient. Please note, the botton has a texture to it...some have complained about this, but I've never found it to be a problem...I just use a stiff bristle brush when I clean it up.

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.

Yes you are Suppose to season it...you can use cook spra but in my opinion Crisco works best. It will stick if you don't oil.

It doesn't need pre-seasoning, as it has non-stick interior. Be sure to hand wash before your first use and enjoy. I hand wash this after each use, I don't put it in the dishwasher. It is a good pan.

i find it stickier than older cast iron i had. but it is pre-seasoned. I just seem to need a lot more oil on it than I expected.

NO - You do NOT have to season ENAMELED Cast Iron. You should use a little cooking oils to cook with though.

Nope. It doesn't need to be seasoned. This pan is like a thicker and sturdier version of Tefal pan.
