If it is necessary, should I store separately?
Thanks!

I just got a new pan, i've used it a few time but i just read and found out that i need to season it. I also read that some modern ones come pre seasoned but how do i tell? The pan i got is a 9.5 Berndes basic.

Hmmm . If u can take the handle off try rubbing some grease inside of the pan and put it in the oven upside down for about a hour. It seems to work for me.

I'm wondering if cooking something liquidy, especially something acidic like tomato sauce, will ruin the seasoning of cookware like a wok or cast iron pan.

Appreciate all answers.

does anyone know if:
• vintage cast iron like griswold or wagner ware, or
• enameled cast iron like le creuset, staub or descoware
can go straight from refrigerator or freezer:
• onto a gas range top, or
• into an oven, or
• under a broiler?
thanks for any help as i'm starting to build a small vintage cookware collection! :-)
