This skillet is cast iron and about 3" around the actural skillet. It is made by Birmingham Stove & Range Company. I don't think the company is still in business and I think it is pretty old. If anyone has any info. about the company itself and how to find out more info., please let me know. Thank you.

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?
