I just purchased a new 12" cast iron skillet and the label on it claims that it's "seasoned, ready-to-use." Naturally, I'm suspicious. How can I be sure that it really is seasoned correctly? Should I season it myself just to be sure?

    Can’t hurt to do it yourself.

  • Mountian says:

    It is just fine go ahead and use it. Saw on America test kitchens where they said pre-seasoned was okay to go ahead and use.

  • R & C N says:

    You are not going to hurt it by seasoning it again. That way you will be sure.

  • Jeanie says:

    it may say pre-seasoned but not the way it should be,season it again your self
