Came pretty well seasoned

If you know how to use cast iron (heat for 5 min before use, maintain a proper seasoning etc) you will love this pan

Pan came seasoned and ready to cook on!

The pan was well seasoned so cleaning is easy.

you are familiar with cast iron) cooks food evenly, great trusted brand, it came pre-season but won't hurt to do it again before first use

Then, get your favorite seasoning oil (I use shortening) and apply a THIN layer of oil onto any part of the pan where the pre-seasoning was removed

Personally I recommend smoothing and re-seasoning

I bought this used, but it was practically new and the seasoning was still good

In CI because the delicate fish will not tolerate the heat retained by the CI (an asset when searing steak) and will fall apart when flipped.(4) Avoid (particularly before your CI becomes super well-seasoned) using the same pan for savory and sweet as the CI does retain flavors; in other words, using the CI to bake a vanilla cake immediately the day after using it to make garlic chicken may make your vanilla a tad too garlicky!(5) Avoid using CI to cook foods that require lengthy periods of simmering, boiling, or steaming as the lengthy simmering, boiling, or steaming will strip your CI of its hard-earned seasoning

The pan is made up of cast iron which makes it susecptible to rusting if not seasoned with a coating of oil after thorough cleaning

It is well seasoned and heats very evenly

Give it a good season in the oven and it will do a better job than any expensive non stick griddle.

for the best result first season the pan using the Oven... wash the pan with little soap and apply oil to pan (up, down and handle) and put in the Oven for 30 to 60 minutes

This pan came pre-seasoned

Proper seasoning is the key to avoid the food from sticking

but I do recommended seasoning them again before using them

Unfortunately, with the old machined pans, the oil would run right off and result in an uneven seasoning

It's a good product, but I am not sure how well it has been pre-seasoned

but I would have liked a nice seasoned pan without having the scrub away rust and do multiple reseasonings.

This pan supposedly comes seasoned.

the pre-seasoning was good

Works great now that we have it seasoned but it definitely was not seasoned well when it first came.

I take good care of it and keep it well seasoned!

My dosa pan didn’t get seasoned enough for first 2 days but 3rd day was a great success- non sticky crisp dosa.

Easy to clean and re-season after use.

I'll leave by saying, just because it comes pre-seasoned and is "advertised" as a non stick pan, you still need to use a grease/fat/spray of some sort until your pan has built up seasoning on it from cooking

I love how it comes pre-seasoned and ready to use

I brushed off the rust and gave it a good seasoning with vegetable oil

I use it daily & has developed a good season.

Period!Quality is good, pre seasoned, flat base, works on induction, right size ( 10.5 inch) perfect for our south Indian style dosas , not too heavy, easy to handle with less maintenance

Regardless of what people say, unless you're seasoning your pan, there's no need for soap

The only downside is the pre-seasoning is not as good as I've seen on the upper end brands like Cusinart.

I wiped a little on the hot pan and thought that the seasoning was enough

I did put a light coating of oil on it to refresh the seasoning, and that was enough

I really like the way cast iron distributes heat so evenly, basically non-stick when seasoned correctly and easy to clean

I tried seasoning it multiple times but did not work

Regular seasoning is very important.

The seasoning that it came with out of the box was good to make a couple batches of crepes without any sticking issues

It comes with a nice even factory seasoning over the entire pan and handle

The pan was well seasoned so cleaning is easy.

It says it comes pre seasoned but I would also recommend seasoning it on your own just to be safe

Talk about a brilliant portable seasoned flat top that works on energy efficient induction stove tops

Pan came seasoned and ready to cook on!

Cast iron takes more effort, but is worth the effort to get it well seasoned, and lasts a lifetime

Easy to use, cleans and seasons well.

Flat, strong, well seasoned, comfortable handle, good finish.

It is NOT well pre-seasoned, but it still gets five stars for what it is.

Season it often, never use soap, and never put the heat above medium and it will work great

I keep it well seasoned.

Very well seasoned griddle

* (in the photo I already scratched off the spot and seasoned, so it's mostly silver/black now)

Very well seasoned, ready to use for dosa...just wish it was a bit larger as dosas are quite small...taste, cleaning, handling wise good....

There are tons of videos out there how to do perfect seasoning

Really okay seasoning when we got it, perfect now

Before you start using it the first time, as well as after every use here is what you do:(1

Works as it should.

It also cleans well as long as you know NOT to remove the non-stick seasoning by scouring with steel wool or copper pads

It's takes a min to cool down as

Sits flat, as well as on edge, in the cabinet

The heat distribution is pretty good, not the absolute best I've had if I'm honest, but I'm giving it a solid B.It's easy to clean so long as it's seasoned, and it gives food that unmatched flavor

We used it to make these delectable jalapeño grilled cheese sandwiches
