It says they are pre-seasoned - do you still have to add oil? How do you prepare for cooking?

They are like regular cast iron but not totally unseasoned but you still use oil or cook however you would normally

No oil needed. I heated them for about an hour on 450 and let them cool just to test them. Just make sure you remember to keep them dried after you wash them. Never use steel wool. A wooden spoon works great to remove stuck on mess. I spray a little Pam in them if I am going to store them away for awhile.

Hello these are awesome; I use a spray (preferably olive oil spray) but usually not full blown oil.

I make a paste with water and baking soda and scrub with paper towel. Only needs done once a month if you cook a lot. Love the pans! I haven't used metal in them. Kind of heavy, but cooks amazing and NOTHING sticks. No need for oil to fry things (unless desire different texture). Hope it helps!

I don't believe they were tossed into Oil. they appear just to be baked with no seasoning or salt.

I just make sure the pans are extremely well oiled, either using a baking spray or butter. Also, when you wash the pans, be sure to hand-wash them and towel-dry them immediately, otherwise the finish might be ruined.

I don't think they are pre treated with oil. You can read about the company and their process on their website: http://www.totallybamboo.com/c54/.htmDon't put them in the dishwasher, hand wash. And, you will at some point need to use an oil to keep them nice, but that is after LOTS of use. I use the same on my Totally Bamboo cutting boards. They sell a TB Revitalizing Mineral Oil.

It is pre-seasoned with baked-on vegetable oil which, over time, will become a natural, non-stick surface. The more you use it, the better it gets!

When I received mine, I immediately seasoned it with mineral oil. I only have to rinse it with water, and dry immediately.

You have not missed any thing. I just placed them in the 350 degree oil for 5 to 10 mins. The irons have to be hot before you dip them in the batter.

Just a small amount of vegetable oil wiped around the inside of the pans after washing them out with hot water and dried after each use. They come already seasoned which is nice.

The pan arrives pre-seasoned. I apply unsalted butter or vegetable il before each use, and after cleaning the pan (just water, no detergent). My grandmother taught me to wash the pan right after use, dry it, apply a bit of oil, and tuck it back into the still hot oven. I just baked two loaves of bread, one in this pan and one in a Pyrex loaf pan. Both pans got vegetable oil applied before the dough went in. Only the Pyrex pan stuck a bit. The Lodge pan- NO sticking, bread just slipped out, beautifully brown.

We heated it up on the stove and wiped it off. You must keep it seasoned with oil any way.

No, the new ones, no matter if they say they are seasoned are not ready for scrambled eggs etc. Just use your regular teflon coated skillets for that. For frying or baking in the oven, the cast iron skillet is great. After you use it for a long time, it will fianlly began to get seasoned. Wash it in sudsy water after each use, rinse and dry it, no dishwasher. I have lots of cast iron skillets in all sizes (10 of the 6"size for making hamburger buns, Schloskies bread etc.) and they are all seasoned but then I am almost 80 years old, I have had them a long time.

I wash them... Then spray or wipe any kind of cooking oil you have handy.I LOVE mine. I use them ALL the time

No, I have not. It isnn't nearly seasoned enough. There are a lot of seasoning ideas out there, but works well... get a deep frying basket and fry several batches of foods in these pots, filled with oil... canola or peanut oil... they then retain the oil layer well! I love these pots.

Not sure what oil is is seasoned with, I would compare it to buying a Lodge iron skillet that has been pre-seasoned. Definitely no Teflon of any other non stick. Had some heavy rains here in GA this summer and Had covered for a few weeks. Looks like it was starting to rust which I quickly re-seasoned and good to go. You can flip two of the quarters so all the grill marks are the same way by the way.

the directions are in the box, first you have to season them in the oven and after use you just wash and dry

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.
