Do you need to grease the pan before preparing your lasagna?

No, you don't! I usually just put a thin layer of sauce on the bottom. And it's so easy to clean!!! I can't tell you how great it is!

I think it depends on what you are making. I didn't grease it for lasagna. I put lots of sauce on the bottom. But for bread, brownies or cake- It would probably would. be a benefit! Its a nice pan!

I just put a little olive oil and sauce along the sides and bottom. When I use it to. Make meat loaves i do grease it. Just love this pan!

The included recipe book has an entry for ultimate lasagna which I use constantly. It calls for noodles that have been softened by warm water for ten minutes the pan cooks them perfectly, no boiling required. It was a great buy! Love this pan.

I have....once. I put the laurel in the crock, added water almost to the top of the laurel, then put in my frozen food stilled wrapped in foil. I undid the foil and spread it open the 'cooked' my lasagna on low about 4 hours till dinner. Hot, soft but not squishy. Perfect.

Yes, I preheated the pan before making the socca. Then I added the oil and carmelized the onions for 10 minutes, then using a spatula, I added the onions to the socca batter, then poured the socca batter onto the hot pan and baked it. I'm not sure what I would do for the pizza dough. I'm thinking I would not preheat the pan because I would burn my fingers trying to place the dough safely in the pan.

Yes..Properly preheat. Season grate on first use only with lard ..not cooking oil..cooking oil will be sticky but lard not.. You will love this grill..The best of indoor electrics.

yes you have to turn the pizza. Also be sure to use cornmeal on the peel before making your pizza so it doesn't stick

These are used in lieu of baking pans. With a proper panettone recipe there is no need to grease the molds. You can use a cookie sheet to make it easier to handle. If you have one, I suggest using perforated cookie sheets, as they allow for better circulation and more even heating

It's best to heat it up at least a half hour before you use it. The stone will be really work at its best. Also if you have a gas stove place the stone on the bottom. If your stove is electric lower the rack to its lowest setting and place the stove there. Your pizza will be nice and crisp.

No, stove top but I did read a tip from someone if your orgreenic pan has some staining from food. If you have a self cleaning oven you can stick the pan in during the clean cycle. Since it is ceramic the stain will form a powder just like the stains in the oven will. Have not tried this, because my pan is clean.

Necessary? No...Just depends on how you like your pizza crust. I highly recommend it. I like my dough crisper...So I feel pre-heating is necessary for that end result. Ex: I prefer preheating mine all the way up to 550 degrees F and then I remove it, lay the dough on to the heated surface (be careful), and build my topping per taste. But it isn't necessary... to do so...however, I feel not pre-heating it doesn't take the full advantage of the cast iron characteristics that most are seeking--holding heat.

I don't remember if ours had any grease on it but as a rule I just clean everything before I use it.

Didn't you read the manual? I've made lasagna in this size crock. Comes out yummy.

The Pan First has to be cleaned up, then heated for your grilled Food, which should be seasoned before.

No, the pan is dark because its non-stick but you have to still grease accordingly.

maybe you forget to seasoned the pan before using it, because it happened to me when i bought that item. if you do not know how to do it, just put some oil all over the pan and heat it, until hot, then reduce the heat and you can already use it. after using just wash with water, but if you used soap do not forget to rub some oil after dry.

I do mostly breakfasts, while my wife does the Lasagna. I can tell you that its like making Lasagna in any other pan - you learn as you go. Obviously you have to layer the noodles. Is some cases, my wife actually cuts the noodles to fit the pan. Just layer the noodles, meat, cheese untill get nears the top of the pan. Everything cooks great since there are actually 6 edges - YUM.
