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.
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.
You are not going to hurt it by seasoning it again. That way you will be sure.
it may say pre-seasoned but not the way it should be,season it again your self
